In terms of chassis, the Honda CB650F 2016 features a steel frame, while the Yamaha MT-10 2016 boasts an aluminum frame. This difference in frame material may result in variations in weight distribution and handling characteristics. The MT-10's aluminum frame is known for providing excellent rigidity and stability, enhancing the bike's overall agility.

In terms of weaknesses, the Honda CB650F 2016 is known to have vibrations between 5 and 7 thousand revolutions, which may be a drawback for some riders. Additionally, the CB650F has a long gear ratio, which may affect its responsiveness in certain situations. Another minor drawback of the CB650F is that it features a sticker instead of paintwork, which may not be as durable or visually appealing.

On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-10 2016 is criticized for its poor comfort and limited wind protection. The bike's aggressive riding position and lack of windscreen may result in discomfort on longer rides. Additionally, some riders find the fit of the MT-10 to be quite hard, which may be a deterrent for those seeking a more comfortable riding experience.

In conclusion, while both the Honda CB650F 2016 and the Yamaha MT-10 2016 are powerful naked bikes, the MT-10 clearly stands out in terms of engine performance and agility. However, the CB650F offers a more comfortable riding experience and well-functioning components. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the rider's priorities and preferences.

Yamaha MT-10 2016

The short and stocky MT-10 is the furthest away from the R1 superbike of the renowned power naked bikes, both in terms of looks and chassis, but the heart of the MT-10 is directly descended from the racetrack weapon and fascinates with a uniquely raw sound and power from below thanks to the typical crank pin offset, which, with a modified firing order, ensures this unique character. The resulting 160 hp therefore only seem a little weak on paper compared to the more than 200 hp of the R1, in reality the MT-10 also ignites incredible fireworks. The suspension would probably be too soft for the race track, but it is just right for a country road fight, and the brakes do the same - probably only acceptable for the track, but perfect for the country road.
