Yamaha MT-10 SP First Ride Review | Visordown Motorcycle Reviews
- 5 years ago
What do you think of the Yamaha MT-10 SP - and do you agree with our verdict? Tell us in the comments below.
Visordown Motorcycle Reviews: Unless you spent last year living under a rock, you’ll know all about the Yamaha MT-10.
It’s the king dick of Yamaha’s popular MT range – notorious for its distinctive looks and R1-derived 998cc four-cylinder crossplane crank engine.
The MT-10’s motor includes new pistons and a new cylinder design, a new airbox, heavier crank and gearing thanks to a 43-tooth rear sprocket.
It’s tuned to be more useable on the road, with a greater spread of torque through the midrange. The result is 160hp and 81.9lb/ft torque, plus near-universal praise from the majority of people who’ve had a go on one.
Now Yamaha has decided to ramp things up with the new MT-10 SP - a sportier version of the MT-10. The recipe for this new SPecial version of the already not-at-all-run-of-the-mill MT-10 is: take one MT-10, add Öhlins active suspension front and rear, a colour TFT instrument panel, R1M-inspired paint job, plus a quickshifter, and enjoy.
And enjoy we did – you’d have to be dead inside not to enjoy riding this bike. It’s got an engine that had us cackling wildly inside our helmets every time we got on the gas with intent.
