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.

Unconventional sound

wonderfully punchy engine

high-quality chassis and suspension

acceptable wind protection

surprisingly comfortable seating position

Traction control and ABS not dependent on lean angle

shift assistant not flawless and without blipper

high price

KTM 690 SMC R 2019

KTM 690 SMC R 2019

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.

Powerful engine

Electronics can support safety or supermoto manoeuvres as required

Stable, fully adjustable suspension

Agile riding performance

Good ergonomics

Low fuel consumption

Great quickshifter

Old LC display and halogen headlights no longer up to date

Suspension could absorb small bumps more harmoniously

Brakes not overly sensitive
