Overview - Yamaha XSR900 2016 vs Yamaha MT-10 2016

The Yamaha XSR900 2016 and the Yamaha MT-10 2016 are both naked bikes with similar engine types and cooling systems. However, there are several key differences between the two models.

In terms of engine power, the Yamaha MT-10 2016 has a significant advantage with 160 HP compared to the Yamaha XSR900 2016's 115 HP. This makes the MT-10 more powerful and provides a thrilling riding experience. The torque is also higher in the MT-10, with 111 Nm compared to the XSR900's 87.5 Nm. This translates to better acceleration and overall performance.

The number of cylinders also differs between the two models, with the XSR900 having 3 cylinders and the MT-10 having 4 cylinders. This again contributes to the MT-10's superior power and performance.

Both bikes have upside-down telescopic forks for the front suspension and swing arm with a monoshock for the rear suspension. This ensures a comfortable and stable ride for both models.

In terms of chassis, the XSR900 has an aluminum frame with a twin tube design, while the MT-10 has an aluminum frame with a Deltabox design. The Deltabox frame offers better rigidity and handling, giving the MT-10 an advantage in terms of agility and high-speed stability.

Both bikes have double disk brakes at the front, but the MT-10 has larger diameter disks at 320 mm compared to the XSR900's 298 mm. This gives the MT-10 stronger and more effective braking power.

In terms of advanced rider assistance systems, both bikes have ABS as standard. However, the MT-10 also has traction control, providing an additional level of safety and control.

In terms of strengths, the XSR900 has a greedy engine, well-tuned riding modes, ABS and TC as standard, an authentic modern design, and clean workmanship. On the other hand, the MT-10 has a CP4 engine, a strong character, extreme agility, high-speed stability, strong brakes, and an unmistakable sound.

In terms of weaknesses, the XSR900 has a hard chassis, a seat that could be more comfortable, and a speedblock design that is already present on many other models. The MT-10, on the other hand, has poor comfort, limited wind protection, and a hard fit.

Overall, the Yamaha MT-10 2016 offers more power, better handling, and additional features compared to the Yamaha XSR900 2016. However, the XSR900 has its own strengths in terms of engine performance, design, and workmanship. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.

Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XSR900 2016

Yamaha XSR900 2016

The XSR900 combines the performance of a sporty streetfighter with the look of a pleasing, cleanly finished retro naked bike. In doing so, the Japanese make use of their own history, which can be found bundled and without gaps in the archive of the design agency that has been working for Yamaha for 60 years. It adopts the virtues of the MT-09 and has mended some of its weaknesses. It rides more harmoniously, more controlled and, if desired, more relaxed. Only the comfort, and thus the rider, suffers from the tight chassis on bad roads. You have to be a little bit sensitive when it comes to a neo-classic.

Yamaha MT-10 2016

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.
