Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Ducati Panigale V4 2023

The conclusion is very easy for me. Ducati has made an "already almost perfect motorbike" even better without changing anything in a negative way. Although riding on the road with this radical fairing probably causes a stir and one or two riders find it uncomfortable, they obviously feel more comfortable with it on the race track. You get a motorbike "out of the box" that resembles a Superbike World Championship bike more than ever. I also believe that the V4 2018 owner is quite capable of improving his lap times with the 2020 version. My tip: if you take care to enlarge the tank or make it more grippy, you could go over the centre even more with your hull.

Clever electronics

Noticeable upgrade to last year's model

More accessible than ever before

Tank is too small from an ergonomic point of view

straight-line driving from 250km/h in the wet
