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.

More power, more kilos, more rubber . It is certainly not the most manageable, which makes climbing the Tyrolean mountains over hundreds of hairpin bends exhausting at times. But it is more mature than the Street Triple, knows how to glide along the valley smoothly and without getting on your nerves, and for some reason feels more trustworthy and secure.
