Yamaha MT-10 2023

The new MT-10 is a really successful evolution of its predecessor, but remains completely true to its character. The new electronics package with a 6-axis IMU is a blast, all features are so well coordinated and work so well together that the rider is optimally supported by the electronics in every situation without being overbearingly patronised. The rest of the components in the chassis and brakes are completely in order and the Mad Max-Brachialo style look has been toned down a little in direct comparison to the predecessor, but still remains unique and clearly recognisable as an MT-10.

A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.
