Technical Specifications Yamaha MT-10 2016 compared to Yamaha R1 2020
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-10 2016
The short and stocky MT-10 is the furthest away from the R1 superbike of the renowned power naked bikes, both in terms of looks and chassis, but the heart of the MT-10 is directly descended from the racetrack weapon and fascinates with a uniquely raw sound and power from below thanks to the typical crank pin offset, which, with a modified firing order, ensures this unique character. The resulting 160 hp therefore only seem a little weak on paper compared to the more than 200 hp of the R1, in reality the MT-10 also ignites incredible fireworks. The suspension would probably be too soft for the race track, but it is just right for a country road fight, and the brakes do the same - probably only acceptable for the track, but perfect for the country road.
Yamaha R1 2020
The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!
