Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2019

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2019

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 offers a lot of riding comfort. All in all, an outstanding all-rounder that can do much more than just look bad.

Unconventional sound

high-quality chassis and suspension

pleasant wind protection

surprisingly comfortable seating position

great engine response.

No traction control with gyro sensor - would be the icing on the cake for serious racetrack use

shift assistant not flawless

high price
