Yamaha MT-10 2019

Yamaha MT-10 2019

The Yamaha MT-10 exudes a lot of emotion with the cool CP4 engine, but also doesn't forget pragmatic utility. For a naked bike, it offers a lot of comfort on long tours. It rides fast but is still refined at all times. On the racetrack, the chassis is not precise enough to beat the other Powernakeds. Overall, however, it scores with its versatility paired with radical looks and awesome sound.

great sound

pleasant wind protection

comfortable seating position even on long tours

great engine response

balanced overall package despite radical looks and wicked sound

Too inactive seating position on the racetrack

chassis and ride assistance systems sufficient for trackdays but not on the same level as the other Powernakeds.

The engine is still a blast, and can be revved at low revs as well as pedalled in a sporty manner. The four additional horsepower, however, primarily appear in the glossy brochure.

excellent engine

traction control

fully adjustable suspension elements
