Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

The Yamaha MT-10 SP inspires with a high degree of perfection combined with a truckload of emotion. Rarely do Japanese manufacturers succeed in penetrating so deeply into the domain of Europeans. The bike rides very nastily when needed, but can also be used quite civilly in city traffic. On top of that, the electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension provides a lot of riding comfort. All in all, an outstanding all-rounder that can do much more than just look bad.
