Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2017

With the SP version, the MT-10 becomes cooler, more desirable and, thanks to the high-quality chassis, better. The semi-active suspension from the R1M is the best in the naked bike league. Highest quality and best function in combination. The chassis also excites on the racetrack. Nevertheless, the MT-10SP is not a racing machine, because the seating position is not active enough for that.

great chassis

high ride comfort / utility comfort due to the electronic chassis

very emotional but nevertheless cultivated engine

pleasant wind protection

balanced overall package despite radical looks and wicked sound

Traction control not up to the level of the Aprilia

Too inactive seating position on the racetrack
