Thanks for this realistic review. Biggest hurdle I had was “ Oh man a litre bike is too much power!” It scared me. But this took my fears away and I test rode one two weeks ago and was incredible. Bought one. No reason to be afraid of power if- you have “ nothin to prove”. Thanks Scott. Fellow rider from Canada
Man, I have owned the Super Duke and several other nakeds and I may be the minority but I prefer the MT10 to all of them. One of the few bikes that blew me away on my test ride. Affordable, reliable and cheap.....not sure it can be beat. I can travel on it, has cruise control, comfort and it is so stable on the freeway. Sold my KTM and have no desire to sell my MT10
I've had my MT10 for three years. I still think it taicks most boxes. I ride mostly now two up with my wife on the back. I elongated the rear pegs because they are too short for any distance riding. We did 275 kilometer round trip today and had a blast. Riding solo it's as fun as you describe. What sold it for me was the way it tips into a tight corner, ready to pull like a rocket out of the corner. No nasty surprises just big smile ones. Even had the front wheel up in 5th gear once, hilarious. Glad you enjoyed your test. For me it's a crazy machine or a docile enjoy the ride machine.
Scott, thanks for another honest review. In 2018 I bought a new MT-10 and have clocked up over 15 000 fair weather miles on it. I love the comfort, agility and brute low down power, where I want and need it. Just an aside, I am an advanced rider and have found that anticipating traffic conditions (eg overtaking, traffic circles, speed limit changes etc) and rolling off and on the gas progressively, I average 52 miles per gallon. My reserve gauge starts flashing at just over 160 miles, meaning a tank range of close to 200 miles - which for me is brilliant, as I probably average 200 miles per outing. Most importantly, every time I go out it puts a smile on my face. In my opinion it is the best value for money super naked out there.
@@kevincraig8257 Yes that is correct. I still drive at speed, but do so in a planned way. Also my rides are long on average, as I mentioned. I have been recording fuel economy of over 51 mpg, for the 16 000 odd miles I have clocked up on my MT-10 and everyone of them have given me a big smile. I hope my real world experience balances out the impression set by speed merchants, who must wind it all the time and make the MT-10 out to be such a bad choice, if you are wanting any sort of range.
Great review man! The weather is still crap so I am sitting here watching a review of the very bike I have in my garage :D Good thing about this winter being mild is that there is no gravel anywhere! Anyway I had 2017 mt09 and loved it, sold it after 20000kms, got a black 2019 mt10, clocked almost 17000km in one season and love it even more. It's a fantastic all arounder and for the first time in my life I want to keep a bike for as long as it works
Scott,You have some of the BEST Motorcycle reviews out there,,,,I'm surprised you don't have 100's of thousands of subs,,,always awesome videos!!!,,,thanks!
Not a lot of people know but the MT10 has THE QUICKEST 0-60mph of ANY production bike in history . When people say they didn't notice the power being down it's becaue the MT10 cross plane crank performed at the same levels of the othe supernakeds with less hp. I've had crossplane R1's and loved them but my favorite bike for sure was my FZ10 (MT10) I had the battleship grey/fluorescent yellow combo. Loved it! Also get rid of the cat and it sounds epic!!!
As usual a great review for connoisseurs. Slow intimate and precise. I changed my 1090 ktm a few months ago for a mt10 SP. what a bike. Tft screen by the way. And the semi electronic ohlins suspensions are butter when needed and so rigorous when required. One of the best bikes I ever owned. Please give me a tip for driving with it as you do??! 60kmh all the way, on my side it’s more above 200. The crossplane is begging for 😁. Again thanks for your perfect reviews
Good review. Love my blue 2018 Yamaha MT-10. What machine. Yamaha did very good job with this bike for the price and the sound is so intoxicating. Yes the fuel tank could be bigger but at my age (59) after a 125 miles I'm ready for a stretch anyway.
I've recently discovered the MT-10 and am really liking this ride, especially w/the windshield and bags installed. Wish the MPG's were better and gas tank a little bigger but outside of that, ka-boom, WINNER.
Ive owned it 4 months now. You dont get tired off this bike anytime soon. It got so much personality with that awsome CP4 engine that sounds like a old school muscle car (esp after changing the exhaust). Awsome chassi and wery comfy. Only negative is the range ( reserv around 200km).
Scott, two thumbs up for your reviews👍👍!!! After a 5 year break I want to get back on a bike and your reviews gave me an idea which one could be "the one" for me! Good job, thanks for that!
My last bike was the SuperDuke and, I've replaced it with this. I find it more fluid and relaxed - definitely lighter in weight. I dart in and out of traffic with ease and I LOVE how I can change the power characteristics to suit my mood. I've never had a motorcycle that drank fuel like this one, even my Tuonos but, I've never had a bike that fit my temperament so well.
Let me add, I bought mine at the launch before ever seeing one in person, bought it sight unseen from a Yamaha KTM dealer in California (I live in utah US) the preview reviews of the FZ10, MT10 when all the prosffessionals and emagazines agreed with that comment I knew there was no reason to NOT buy and I saved $8,500 US over my other choice the superduke R. Now I know it's not quiteeee am SDR, BUT a bike that competes SO closely to the worlds best hypernakeds at a bike u can get half the price of the SDR and Tuono Factory . I'm not kidding you msrp in the US was $12,999,...BUT nearing the launch i searched for the best price on a new one (which they all were being ore launch) I found Thousand Oaks Powersports in California, one of the most reputable dealers in the US apparently /and I can attest to that!! They were amaizint! Anyway they ordered 12 FZ10 's at launch, 9. In grey and 3 in black , to their shock they had nearly no deposits by the launch and being a top dealer they were worried about loosing dealer allotment if they ordered 12 and sold 1 , so they listed 2 of the grey and yellows brand new at $9,200!!!!! NEW 0 miles, out the door price!!!!!! I saves nearly $5,000 when ALL was said and done. I got a Loan for $9k , insurance is dirt cheap, it's such a blast to ride, think is a wheelie monster , all the power is low and modeange, shorter wheelbase than R1 so more nimble; it's Jsut hella fun and man,..$9,000 new!!?????you can not possible beat that!!!! A lot of areas are still being slow to adopt the no brainer super nakedness that are as fast as superbikes but comfortable and maybe all the torque low for fun riding, SO capitalize on the Morons that don't get it yet and but one, I'll never go back to sueprsport after my MT10 , no reason, quicker, more comfortable, different than all the sport bikes out there, cruise control , I can ride it accross the Us at any time and not worry or be i pain, it's such an amazing bike!!!
i grew up on dirtbikes and got my first street bike a 02 r6 3 years ago, went with a 07 zx6r the next year, and i just recently got my 21 MT10 in raven black. and what a machine, unless i buy a straight track bike i dont think im going back. it is for sure wild ive had some friends ask to try it that i didnt feel confident letting them ride it. respect this monster, you will get use to her sending the front tire to jesus or you wont like this bike.
I love the two wheeled bikes as well! Yamaha makes a great bike for which I have purchased a few. The MT-10 is to me, an amazing bike. Like the style and the power of this bike. You are correct, the value is alone, a reason to buy this bike and they sell a lot here in the states! Even re-sell is in demand here in USA. RideWithPeace from Texas, USA.
Thank you MrJay06, I really liked this bike too and I'm a KTM 1290SDR owner for 3 yrs now, if I were to buy another Super Naked bike this would be it. Take care, Scott
Just picked up a modified 2017 FZ-10 in the liquid gray with lime wheels and several mods with only 41 miles on it! I've had it about a month and put almost 500 miles on it. Ordered a Puig touring shield and looking at luggage. Mine has an Akrapovic titanium cat delete pipe, AIS block offs, and 2WDW tune. Hard to compare a Super Duke R that cost almost $19,000 USD vs $12,999
And Ducati Streetfighter and Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory, which are even more than the SDR. The MT10 is still running on the 1st gen 2016 platform, being the oldest and most out dated, so it should be the cheapest in the group and it is! Great bang for buck! ride safe, Scott
I've watched this review several times when I was shopping for Naked bikes. Ended up with the Speed Triple RS but I still have my eye on this bike. Eagerly awaiting an updated version.
I watched this review when you first put it out bought the bike in december and finally able to go pick it up in a couple of days had to see what you had to say about again I forgot
Moin Gude Scott, as I'm looking for a bike with 4 cylinders and about 1,0 L of displacement, I also came across this one when I searched your videos. Must admit though that it had to grow on me. Didn't like the front end at first for years, but with this particular colour scheme and a windscreen, too - boy, I really do like it. More though I like your style of reviewing. Thanks for every single detail you gave and personal feeling you shared. Hopefully, Yamaha will supply all of the MT-10 versions with a good TFT display for the model year 2021; I couldn't find any proof for this but am still hoping. Even though this MT-10 is a lot different in power and appearance to the Z900RS and maybe a lot others may not compare them, both of them fit my frame. I'm positive you'll keep your style; it makes me watch your videos more than once 'cause it's just so much fun to do. Looking forward to riding with you like there's nothing to prove. Tschüß Veit
I’ve been riding a 1000cc sport bike for months, but commuting on it isn’t always fun, and my Honda Hornet 599 just doesn’t do it for me, I need at least 130 hp and over 70 ft-lbs of torque, I’m not a fan of V4’s but the CP4 is very unique to me🤔 but I could just get a KTM 890 Duke R but ehhhh, KTM’s need a little work
Thank you micks. No, I'm not big enough yet to do stuff like that, the shirts you see in the videos are one-offs that I order on-line. Thanks again and ride safe, Scott
Great review Scott! Only thing really surprising is why no TFT screen in 2020? I think the dials looked great on the previous years, but even your XR has a great TFT, why didn’t they simply add one to this MY? Is it old gen? I think I’d still prefer your bike so far! Ride & stay safe 🏍👍
Nice Review! This MT-10 and the Triumph Street Triple RS are on my radar. Nice past review of the Triumph ST. Just wondered about your riding jeans. Could you share the brand and model? I like the option of the zipper vents. Don't see too many brands/models that offer that.
Thank you Whiz Wheel, the pants are Trilobite Parado and the zipper vents actually work and work well when it's hot. That is one of the main reasons I got them. Ride safe, Scott
Yes, you can get the SP in Germany. Fully adjustable electronic suspension from Öhlins & full-color TFT & some other blingy stuff like color exclusive to the SP...bling, bling, bling. So you are getting some good stuff for the extra €2k. I'd definitely do the SP if I was going to buy one.
I think this could be my next bike, but I’m still considering the Tuono and S1000R. Your reviews put me to sleep and I mean that as a compliment. I think you review bikes, I think you say positive things about them, but I wouldn’t know bc 😴 😆
Depending on how tall you are, this might limit your choices. At 194cm, I tested all the supernakeds: only S1000R and MT10 looked good under me and were comfortable. SuperDuke looked the most ridiculous, absurd even. It is the same size as Duke 390. Tuono was good for a short ride, but it was like sitting on the top of the fence. I don't imagine anyone over 180cm riding it anywhere further than few kilometers.
I'm going crazy trying to decide between this bike and the super duke r! I don't commute on my bike (fz-07) but use it only for fun rides in the twisties so looking for the bike that will give the most thrills. In your opinion after riding both which bike would you say has the most fun factor? Also which bike do you think is best for a shorter rider? I'm about 5'7 or 175cm.
Hi Rust, well both bikes are fun! Let me just establish also that any of the super naked bikes ARE FUN! So with that said we are splitting hairs here to try to define which is the most fun. IMHO the SDR is the most fun out of all the super naked bikes....so much so that I bought one and have owned it now for over 3 years and still have not ridden one that is more fun, on the street. Track well then I'd go for the Tuono/S1000R but that is for track. The SDR has so much torque down low that it's just addictive and when I get on any other super naked they just don't measure up to the SDR torque. And on the street we live in the lower RPM range and at 4k RPM the SDR has more torque then any of the other super nakeds' at their peak RPM. Size, wise, I think both bikes are about the same, you might not be able to "flat-foot" either bike but try them out and see which fits you best. Good luck with trying to pick one...hehe...they will both give you plenty of smiles per mile. Ride safe, Scott
@@NothingToProve Thanks for the reply! I decided to get the FZ-10 mostly due to lower insurance cost and yamaha reliability. I really loved the looks of the SDR though and I really didn't like the looks of the FZ-10 when seeing pics and videos on it but honestly it looks so much better in person. I'm picking it up tomorrow and can't wait to ride that beast!! Take care and ride safe.
Thank you Zack, the mount is the standard mount that comes with the Hero 7 Black. Then get some good 3M double sided tape to stick to the helmet and finished. Ride safe, Scott
This is a nice bike, BUT the fuel consumption is very poor. You will be stopping first at the fuel station if you have one of these. I think this is the only reason not to buy this bike, oh, and perhaps if you prefer a TFT screen which rivals have but which cost more money.
Yeah it's giving me 25 miles per gallon, much less than my Honda CB 1000 R which gave me around 38 miles to a gallon. But I can overlook that flaw, because if you want a perfect riding experience, better get that. I have owned 7 bikes so far off different top brands, but this bike is just amazing.
@@logicfirst7959 which one do you prefer as an all around bike, your MT-10 or your CB1000R? I'm torn between these two bikes ATM and I really don't know which one to buy lol
Thank you tz, You made me laugh. Not a broadcaster, just someone that started doing motorcycle reviews because I was tired of all the "hype" in most reviews. Hello from Germany by way of Michigan 😊
For those wondering, I had mine 2 years put 8,000 miles on it and had not ONE issues, problem or need for the dealer, yamaha and espcsicllt the crossplane 4 is bombproof.
I have the 2017 US model and I don't think its all that, with all the performance problems it has. I still own the bike because it's the second most comfortable I have ever had, the XT660X was the most comfy, but I can't lie about it's performance. The issues I have with the bike are: Gas/range, it is a hard thing to deal with, because you know you can't travel far on the bike and since I live in Southern Nevada it is a major problem for me. Brakes, I owned 2004 R1, 2001 R6, 2017 XSR 900 and 2008 XT660X and the brakes on the FZ/MT-10 are the worst brake I have ever experienced on a motorcycle period. I have to ride this bike like I'm driving an 4x4 truck, I brake early and keep a distance. I never rode that way in my life. The brake just zap confidence when riding especially in traffic. Tires for me they are slipper as hell, but I'm used to Dunlops. I can't get any confidence with these tires every time I take a roundabout the bike slides if I'm 5 to 10 miles over the limit. Wind blast, anything over 70 mile per hour becomes a fight and is tiring especially if you ride with gear. Getting old I guess! Speed, too me this bike is slow! I mean for all the hype it is slow, but I do ride with traction control 2 because if the tires and brakes I guess. I love the XSR and all my Yamaha's prior, but this bike makes me want to sell it. I know how to ride a motorcycle, done trackdays and all that stuff but, this bike just sucks in my opinion! I like the looks, sound, leg room, slipper clutch, display, suspension, LCD lights, and my comfort seat! Bought the sintered brake pads, and heated grips, but haven't installed them as of yet. Trying to find a good wind screen that doesn't take away from the the look and will get some dunlop Q3 tires and I think that will get the bike to where I will love it again!
buying a naked bike and complaining about wind, speed and gas mialage,i will never undestand these people if you want all that buy a sport bike this is a bike built for city ride,
You can get the TFT now but only with the SP version but the SP version is not available in every country and it's about 2k more than the regular version.
Hi MIchael, I've been riding since the mid 90's. A Honda Nighthawk 450 was my first bike, I.m not sure what you mean by "real" bike...that can mean several different things depending on the person. Germany, hmm...for a while now...about 6 yrs or so Cheers from Germany, Scott.
NothingToProve You’re right. I was thinking about the bike that really got you the most excited to ride and the bike you learned the most on. I had two bikes before I really started to ride and fully understand motorcycles. My first real bike was a Honda Hawk Gt 650. The other two before that were a Honda MB5 and then a Yamaha RZ 350 , both two strokes when you could still own such a thing (in America). The RZ350 woke me up but I did not ride it the way I rode the Hawk. Keep up the good work and thanks for the reply.
A lot of regions do not get the SP version, for example North America does not but Europe yes. Also the SP is 1k+ more, that's a very expensive TFT. 😂 I want the TFT on the normal version. Ride safe, Scott
@@NothingToProve indeed Scott. Hahahahah. I knew you meant to have the standard version with TFT yet I wrote that to prove that I know something ;) hahahahahhah I should write like "nothing to prove" hahahahahah. Cheers from Lebanon - Middle East
Would you choose this over the Superduke? I have a 2019 Superduke. I do like the the MT-10 and the sound, but the gas mileage is horrible. I've gotten over 50 mpg on the duke.
Yea but you don't buy a SuperNaked for gas mileage. :) To answer your first question: I bought the SDR back in 2015 and I'd still buy it again today over the MT10, it's just so much more fun. Ride safe, Scott
I do 130-250km daily rides on twistiest in the mountains. Whatever I do, I cannot get my MT10 SP to consume more than 6.8-7 L/100km per ride. I was positively surprised since after all the reviews I expected 10+ L/100km.
@@whistler2670 No. Stock unmodded cat + GPR exhaust. I did another ride today and computer claims average of 6.7 L/100km. I can do at least 45km from the moment reserve light comes on till the engine starts interrupting. Then, I go onto 5th or 6th gear and roll at 50km/h for at least 5 kms till a petrol stationion. I did not let it die completely yet. That gets me around 250km total on 16.5-17L tank.
@@NothingToProve so far with 6100 miles Had a problem when letting of the throttle it would shut off when coming in to a stop Dealer did a software update solved that problem 2nd when the bike is hot sometimes it doesn't want to start and the last one today after a 80 mile ride coming back home Red light on my dash with a alarm service code all across and the cruise wouldn't even work while this was going on . Really got me worried my closest dealer is 200 miles . Thanks for the feedback
Oh, ok, that explains it. Umm...yes the MT-10 is reliable as any Japanese bike can be. Sound is not as good as the Tuono but close. Ergo's are better on the MT, more up-right. You might also want to consider the KTM 1290 Super Duke R (still a V configuration as the Tuono but just 2 cyl instead of 4), I've personally owned a 2015 model going on the 4th summer now with 21k on the odometer and I've never had one single issue with it. And I beat the snot out of it every time I take it out. Gone through 4 sets of tires and I hit the rev'limiter on a consistent basis...she has never even had a hick-up. Every thing I can dish out, she takes it. Good luck with trying to decide which bike to buy, they are all great bikes in the super naked class. Ride safe, Scott
Don’t worry about the horsepower shootouts unless you’re racing you’re not using all that power on the street. This bike has all the power you need on the street. Yamaha dealerships are everywhere and so are parts. Reliability is a very big deal if you want a motorcycle that gives you peace of mind at a good price.
Vibration: SDR has more, sound: different but still both bikes cool, torque: SDR has more, smooth: MT10 is smoother, mapping: about the same. An in-line 4 is almost always smoother than a V-Twin in low RPMs, simply because it's twice as many cylinders. I guess it really depends on what one wants. :)
Advice needed. I currently own a Triumph Speed Twin, but I'm wanting to do more long trips. The Speed Twin doesn't have cruise control or decent wind protection, so I'm considering a sport touring type bike. The ones that I'm looking at are the MT 10(Touring Package), BMW R 1250 RS, and the KTM Super Duke 1290 GT. Which would you chose? Thanks, Justin
Hi, the GT, in my 1250RS 1000km review I go over the differences between the RS and GT. ua-cam.com/video/w2lma77hxy8/v-deo.html. I would not take the MT-10, has the least amount of wind protection and you'd be stopping at every gas station...the range is not good but then it's a super naked so range was not a concern when they designed it. Ride safe, Scott
I just don't like how the MT-10 looks. as a matter of fact when I think about it I don't like any MT from Yamaha. All awesome fun bikes but the looks just doesn't click with me. They all have this Gimmicky-Transformers look without grace and sex appeal..
Agreed, if you take that statement out of context. The way I used it, it is the lowest powered and is the one of the worst in fuel economy, in the Super Naked group. Now take the bike out of the super naked group and introduce it to someone that has not ridden the other super nakeds, then you won't notice things like these facts. It is a great bike, don't get me wrong, I love it. I was just stating the facts, and comparing it to the other super nakeds. Which is a very competitive group and you have to split hairs to compare them to each other. Ride safe, Scott
NothingToProve for sure. I havent ridden any of the other super nakeds, but I’ve had a few powerful rides by now and I find the fuel economy on the MT10 is terrible. I used to say I didnt really care about fuel economy since I only do two or three long trips a year... But man, its damn fustrating when everyone has still more than half tank and Im looking for a petrol station 🤣
Just saying facts bro. I love the MT10 but it’s not the same league as the super duke or Touno, close but not the same. Similar performance though. The Mt10 is a lot cheaper and more reliable long term. Shit I have the XSR900 and I love her for all the reasons why the Mt10 is good but it’s not as good as the top streetriple🤷🏾♂️
Thanks for this realistic review. Biggest hurdle I had was “ Oh man a litre bike is too much power!” It scared me. But this took my fears away and I test rode one two weeks ago and was incredible.

I love the comfort, agility and brute low down power, where I want and need it.

52 mpg ?

Nice review, none of the usual bull . I own a 2018 mt10.I haven’t stopped smiling since owning it .
I just had to go to the comments to say the same. great review, thanks.
As usual a great review for connoisseurs. Slow intimate and precise. I changed my 1090 ktm a few months ago for a mt10 SP. what a bike. Tft screen by the way.

I've never had a motorcycle that drank fuel like this one, even my Tuonos but, I've never had a bike that fit my temperament so well.

Let me add, I bought mine at the launch before ever seeing one in person, bought it sight unseen from a Yamaha KTM dealer in California (I live in utah US) the preview reviews of the FZ10, MT10 when all the prosffessionals and emagazines agreed with that comment I knew there was no reason to NOT buy and I saved $8,500 US over my other choice the superduke R. Now I know it's not quiteeee am SDR, BUT a bike that competes SO closely to the worlds best hypernakeds at a bike u can get half the price of the SDR and Tuono Factory . I'm not kidding you msrp in the US was $12,999,...BUT nearing the launch i searched for the best price on a new one (which they all were being ore launch) I found Thousand Oaks Powersports in California, one of the most reputable dealers in the US apparently /and I can attest to that!! They were amaizint! Anyway they ordered 12 FZ10 's at launch, 9. In grey and 3 in black , to their shock they had nearly no deposits by the launch and being a top dealer they were worried about loosing dealer allotment if they ordered 12 and sold 1 , so they listed 2 of the grey and yellows brand new at $9,200!!!!! NEW 0 miles, out the door price!!!!!! I saves nearly $5,000 when ALL was said and done. I got a Loan for $9k , insurance is dirt cheap, it's such a blast to ride, think is a wheelie monster , all the power is low and modeange, shorter wheelbase than R1 so more nimble; it's Jsut hella fun and man,..$9,000 new!!?????you can not possible beat that!!!! A lot of areas are still being slow to adopt the no brainer super nakedness that are as fast as superbikes but comfortable and maybe all the torque low for fun riding, SO capitalize on the Morons that don't get it yet and but one, I'll never go back to sueprsport after my MT10 , no reason, quicker, more comfortable, different than all the sport bikes out there, cruise control , I can ride it accross the Us at any time and not worry or be i pain, it's such an amazing bike!!!
Great review! This is probably the most thorough review on UA-cam!
i grew up on dirtbikes and got my first street bike a 02 r6 3 years ago, went with a 07 zx6r the next year, and i just recently got my 21 MT10 in raven black. and what a machine, unless i buy a straight track bike i dont think im going back. it is for sure wild ive had some friends ask to try it that i didnt feel confident letting them ride it. respect this monster, you will get use to her sending the front tire to jesus or you wont like this bike.
I appreciate you comparing bikes from other competing brands. Please keep doing that!
Thanks, I was really looking forward your mt 10 review. Great video as always.
I love the two wheeled bikes as well! Yamaha makes a great bike for which I have purchased a few. The MT-10 is to me, an amazing bike. Like the style and the power of this bike. You are correct, the value is alone, a reason to buy this bike and they sell a lot here in the states! Even re-sell is in demand here in USA. RideWithPeace from Texas, USA.
Couldn't agree more that any day one can be on a two wheels is just a beautiful day - start cool Scott
On my 2020 MT10, I struggle to reach 100 miles before the reserve light turns on. 🤦🤦
New to your channel and content. I like what I've seen so far. I've had a chance to test ride this bike and enjoyed every minute of it!
Thank you MrJay06, I really liked this bike too and I'm a KTM 1290SDR owner for 3 yrs now, if I were to buy another Super Naked bike this would be it.
Take care, Scott
Just picked up a modified 2017 FZ-10 in the liquid gray with lime wheels and several mods with only 41 miles on it! I've had it about a month and put almost 500 miles on it. Ordered a Puig touring shield and looking at luggage. Mine has an Akrapovic titanium cat delete pipe, AIS block offs, and 2WDW tune. Hard to compare a Super Duke R that cost almost $19,000 USD vs $12,999
And Ducati Streetfighter and Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory, which are even more than the SDR. The MT10 is still running on the 1st gen 2016 platform, being the oldest and most out dated, so it should be the cheapest in the group and it is! Great bang for buck!
ride safe,
Scott
@@NothingToProve as long as I don’t ride those bikes, this thing feels cutting edge new to me and plenty fast on the street!
Love the videos man ! Truelly great content !
Very good review and a high quality video, thx!
I've watched this review several times when I was shopping for Naked bikes. Ended up with the Speed Triple RS but I still have my eye on this bike. Eagerly awaiting an updated version.
I watched this review when you first put it out bought the bike in december and finally able to go pick it up in a couple of days had to see what you had to say about again I forgot
What a lovely machine!! Brilliant review!!
Thank you.
Great review I agree with everything if you like to ride this a bike that doesn't disappoint.
Moin Gude Scott,
as I'm looking for a bike with 4 cylinders and about 1,0 L of displacement, I also came across this one when I searched your videos. Must admit though that it had to grow on me. Didn't like the front end at first for years, but with this particular colour scheme and a windscreen, too - boy, I really do like it.
More though I like your style of reviewing. Thanks for every single detail you gave and personal feeling you shared.
Hopefully, Yamaha will supply all of the MT-10 versions with a good TFT display for the model year 2021; I couldn't find any proof for this but am still hoping.
Even though this MT-10 is a lot different in power and appearance to the Z900RS and maybe a lot others may not compare them, both of them fit my frame.
I'm positive you'll keep your style; it makes me watch your videos more than once 'cause it's just so much fun to do.
Looking forward to riding with you like there's nothing to prove.
Tschüß Veit
Thank you again Veit! Let me know when you get one, they are really nice bikes, well all the super nakeds are great bikes.
take care,
Scott
Great video as allways. Sir, if I may ask I would love to see your review on the Suzuki Boulevard M1800R. Thanks
Two thumbs way way up as usual 👍👍
I’ve been riding a 1000cc sport bike for months, but commuting on it isn’t always fun, and my Honda Hornet 599 just doesn’t do it for me, I need at least 130 hp and over 70 ft-lbs of torque, I’m not a fan of V4’s but the CP4 is very unique to me🤔 but I could just get a KTM 890 Duke R but ehhhh, KTM’s need a little work
Its insane to call this bike underpowered. Its more than enough for the street
Yea, just like we all make enough money to live a comfortable life, but we'd all like a little bit more money, now wouldn't we? :)
@@NothingToProve Exactly.
Btw, its a nice variety to have some fellow American biker in Germany, making videos in English.
Thank you Ray, and I also get some different models/colors here in Europe vs. the States.
As always a great review and honest assessment :-) Could I ask if there are any tee shirts available to buy with your logo on?
Thank you micks. No, I'm not big enough yet to do stuff like that, the shirts you see in the videos are one-offs that I order on-line.
Thanks again and ride safe, Scott
Great content as always!! What type of riding jeans are you wearing? Many thanks
Thank you,
The jeans are Trilobite Parado.
Ride safe,
Scott
Thanks for review and keep going :)
Great review Scott! Only thing really surprising is why no TFT screen in 2020? I think the dials looked great on the previous years, but even your XR has a great TFT, why didn’t they simply add one to this MY? Is it old gen? I think I’d still prefer your bike so far! Ride & stay safe 🏍👍
the TFT is on the SP.
Good reviews Scott
This is sort of like listening to Bob Ross paint, except it's bike reviews.
Maybe I'll start painting bikes! LOL!
@@NothingToProve Thanks for your reviews!
Hahaha exactly what I thought! Such a relaxed dude
Nice Review! This MT-10 and the Triumph Street Triple RS are on my radar. Nice past review of the Triumph ST. Just wondered about your riding jeans. Could you share the brand and model? I like the option of the zipper vents. Don't see too many brands/models that offer that.
Thank you Whiz Wheel, the pants are Trilobite Parado and the zipper vents actually work and work well when it's hot. That is one of the main reasons I got them.
Ride safe, Scott
Great review, thanks!
Germany looks beautiful btw
Thanks, there is beautiful country side in every country, one just has to go out and look for it. :)
Great review!
Nice review, very detailed
Enjoying the videos! Do they sell the SP model in Germany? Ohlins and tft. I think it's only the US that doesn't get the SP.
Yes, you can get the SP in Germany. Fully adjustable electronic suspension from Öhlins & full-color TFT & some other blingy stuff like color exclusive to the SP...bling, bling, bling. So you are getting some good stuff for the extra €2k. I'd definitely do the SP if I was going to buy one.
Great bike but disappointed that Yamaha have no TFT at this stage.
They do, it's just on the SP version, which is 2k more...that's why I was complaining about it...a little.
I think this could be my next bike, but I’m still considering the Tuono and S1000R. Your reviews put me to sleep and I mean that as a compliment. I think you review bikes, I think you say positive things about them, but I wouldn’t know bc 😴 😆
Depending on how tall you are, this might limit your choices. At 194cm, I tested all the supernakeds: only S1000R and MT10 looked good under me and were comfortable. SuperDuke looked the most ridiculous, absurd even. It is the same size as Duke 390. Tuono was good for a short ride, but it was like sitting on the top of the fence. I don't imagine anyone over 180cm riding it anywhere further than few kilometers.
I'm going crazy trying to decide between this bike and the super duke r! I don't commute on my bike (fz-07) but use it only for fun rides in the twisties so looking for the bike that will give the most thrills. In your opinion after riding both which bike would you say has the most fun factor? Also which bike do you think is best for a shorter rider? I'm about 5'7 or 175cm.
Hi Rust, well both bikes are fun! Let me just establish also that any of the super naked bikes ARE FUN! So with that said we are splitting hairs here to try to define which is the most fun. IMHO the SDR is the most fun out of all the super naked bikes....so much so that I bought one and have owned it now for over 3 years and still have not ridden one that is more fun, on the street. Track well then I'd go for the Tuono/S1000R but that is for track. The SDR has so much torque down low that it's just addictive and when I get on any other super naked they just don't measure up to the SDR torque. And on the street we live in the lower RPM range and at 4k RPM the SDR has more torque then any of the other super nakeds' at their peak RPM.
Size, wise, I think both bikes are about the same, you might not be able to "flat-foot" either bike but try them out and see which fits you best.
Good luck with trying to pick one...hehe...they will both give you plenty of smiles per mile.
Ride safe, Scott
@@NothingToProve Thanks for the reply! I decided to get the FZ-10 mostly due to lower insurance cost and yamaha reliability. I really loved the looks of the SDR though and I really didn't like the looks of the FZ-10 when seeing pics and videos on it but honestly it looks so much better in person. I'm picking it up tomorrow and can't wait to ride that beast!! Take care and ride safe.
Love your videos! Would you please tell me what helmet mount you are using for your gopro?
Thank you Zack, the mount is the standard mount that comes with the Hero 7 Black. Then get some good 3M double sided tape to stick to the helmet and finished.
Ride safe, Scott
Nice review. Can you please let me know what is the model of the Go Pro chin mount on the helmet?
It's just a standard quick release mount for a gopro, a lot of the mounts I use are not even the gopro brand.
This is a nice bike, BUT the fuel consumption is very poor. You will be stopping first at the fuel station if you have one of these. I think this is the only reason not to buy this bike, oh, and perhaps if you prefer a TFT screen which rivals have but which cost more money.
Yeah it's giving me 25 miles per gallon, much less than my Honda CB 1000 R which gave me around 38 miles to a gallon.
But I can overlook that flaw, because if you want a perfect riding experience, better get that. I have owned 7 bikes so far off different top brands, but this bike is just amazing.
@@logicfirst7959 which one do you prefer as an all around bike, your MT-10 or your CB1000R? I'm torn between these two bikes ATM and I really don't know which one to buy lol
Great review, you got smooth voice! Are you a broadcaster? Hello from ALABAMA!
Thank you tz,
You made me laugh. Not a broadcaster, just someone that started doing motorcycle reviews because I was tired of all the "hype" in most reviews.
Hello from Germany by way of Michigan 😊
@@NothingToProve You have a voice for broadcasting if you ever need a backup plan, By the way , I grew up snowmobiling in the UP!
Been there done that many times 👍👍 lots of fun in the UP! In fact it's been a few decades since I've been on a snowmobile. 😢
For those wondering, I had mine 2 years put 8,000 miles on it and had not ONE issues, problem or need for the dealer, yamaha and espcsicllt the crossplane 4 is bombproof.
I have the 2017 US model and I don't think its all that, with all the performance problems it has. I still own the bike because it's the second most comfortable I have ever had, the XT660X was the most comfy, but I can't lie about it's performance. The issues I have with the bike are:
Gas/range, it is a hard thing to deal with, because you know you can't travel far on the bike and since I live in Southern Nevada it is a major problem for me.
Brakes, I owned 2004 R1, 2001 R6, 2017 XSR 900 and 2008 XT660X and the brakes on the FZ/MT-10 are the worst brake I have ever experienced on a motorcycle period. I have to ride this bike like I'm driving an 4x4 truck, I brake early and keep a distance. I never rode that way in my life. The brake just zap confidence when riding especially in traffic.
Tires for me they are slipper as hell, but I'm used to Dunlops. I can't get any confidence with these tires every time I take a roundabout the bike slides if I'm 5 to 10 miles over the limit.
Wind blast, anything over 70 mile per hour becomes a fight and is tiring especially if you ride with gear. Getting old I guess!
Speed, too me this bike is slow! I mean for all the hype it is slow, but I do ride with traction control 2 because if the tires and brakes I guess. I love the XSR and all my Yamaha's prior, but this bike makes me want to sell it. I know how to ride a motorcycle, done trackdays and all that stuff but, this bike just sucks in my opinion!
I like the looks, sound, leg room, slipper clutch, display, suspension, LCD lights, and my comfort seat! Bought the sintered brake pads, and heated grips, but haven't installed them as of yet. Trying to find a good wind screen that doesn't take away from the the look and will get some dunlop Q3 tires and I think that will get the bike to where I will love it again!
Definitely things that could be addressed with upgrades, thanks for the insight though as i am looking into one
buying a naked bike and complaining about wind, speed and gas mialage,i will never undestand these people if you want all that buy a sport bike this is a bike built for city ride,
Ive had my CBR 600 for almost 3 years now and damnit do I want an MT 10. I was planning on this summer but now I want to wait for the TFT :'(
You can get the TFT now but only with the SP version but the SP version is not available in every country and it's about 2k more than the regular version.
ハーイ、スコット ワーナー！
日本じゃイマイチ不人気やけど、MT10はホンマ名車やわ👍

How long have you been riding? What was your first real bike? And how long have you been in Germany?
Hi MIchael, I've been riding since the mid 90's. A Honda Nighthawk 450 was my first bike, I.m not sure what you mean by "real" bike...that can mean several different things depending on the person. Germany, hmm...for a while now...about 6 yrs or so
Cheers from Germany, Scott.
NothingToProve
You’re right. I was thinking about the bike that really got you the most excited to ride and the bike you learned the most on.
I had two bikes before I really started to ride and fully understand motorcycles. My first real bike was a Honda Hawk Gt 650. The other two before that were a Honda MB5 and then a Yamaha RZ 350 , both two strokes when you could still own such a thing (in America). The RZ350 woke me up but I did not ride it the way I rode the Hawk.
Keep up the good work and thanks for the reply.
i HAVE BEEN ON A YAMAHA 16 MT03 FOR 6 YEARS NO ISSUE DO YOU THINK I CAN RIDE THIS BAD BOY?
no
Steven Seagal?
Fred Rogers?
Ned Flanders
MT-10 SP👍
15:41 then get the SP version
A lot of regions do not get the SP version, for example North America does not but Europe yes. Also the SP is 1k+ more, that's a very expensive TFT. 😂 I want the TFT on the normal version.
Ride safe, Scott
@@NothingToProve indeed Scott. Hahahahah. I knew you meant to have the standard version with TFT yet I wrote that to prove that I know something ;) hahahahahhah
I should write like "nothing to prove" hahahahahah. Cheers from Lebanon - Middle East
LOL! Hey, can you get the SP version in Lebanon? Just curious to hear where Yamaha is making it available and not.
@@NothingToProve I definitely saw two MT09 not the 10 which are SP at the dealership. Our dealers here import the EU specs motorcycles and cars.
Ok, so it seems like Yamaha is distributing the SP by Regions of the world and not on a country by country.
Would you choose this over the Superduke? I have a 2019 Superduke. I do like the the MT-10 and the sound, but the gas mileage is horrible. I've gotten over 50 mpg on the duke.
Yea but you don't buy a SuperNaked for gas mileage. :)
To answer your first question: I bought the SDR back in 2015 and I'd still buy it again today over the MT10, it's just so much more fun.
Ride safe,
Scott
@@NothingToProve I agree the Superduke is very fun. Puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.
I do 130-250km daily rides on twistiest in the mountains. Whatever I do, I cannot get my MT10 SP to consume more than 6.8-7 L/100km per ride. I was positively surprised since after all the reviews I expected 10+ L/100km.
@@impact0r has the ecu been re-mapped?
@@whistler2670 No. Stock unmodded cat + GPR exhaust. I did another ride today and computer claims average of 6.7 L/100km. I can do at least 45km from the moment reserve light comes on till the engine starts interrupting. Then, I go onto 5th or 6th gear and roll at 50km/h for at least 5 kms till a petrol stationion. I did not let it die completely yet. That gets me around 250km total on 16.5-17L tank.
Would you pick it over a Monster 1200 S or R??
Tough question, I don't know. Money would be the deciding factor, more money, R, less money MT.
I have the tuono and I am contemplating this bike
My tuono durability kinda worries me
What you all think ?
Why, have you had any problems with it yet?
@@NothingToProve so far with 6100 miles
Had a problem when letting of the throttle it would shut off when coming in to a stop
Dealer did a software update solved that problem
2nd when the bike is hot sometimes it doesn't want to start and the last one today after a 80 mile ride coming back home
Red light on my dash with a alarm service code all across and the cruise wouldn't even work while this was going on .
Really got me worried my closest dealer is 200 miles .
Thanks for the feedback
Oh, ok, that explains it. Umm...yes the MT-10 is reliable as any Japanese bike can be. Sound is not as good as the Tuono but close. Ergo's are better on the MT, more up-right. You might also want to consider the KTM 1290 Super Duke R (still a V configuration as the Tuono but just 2 cyl instead of 4), I've personally owned a 2015 model going on the 4th summer now with 21k on the odometer and I've never had one single issue with it. And I beat the snot out of it every time I take it out. Gone through 4 sets of tires and I hit the rev'limiter on a consistent basis...she has never even had a hick-up. Every thing I can dish out, she takes it.
Good luck with trying to decide which bike to buy, they are all great bikes in the super naked class.
Ride safe, Scott
Don’t worry about the horsepower shootouts unless you’re racing you’re not using all that power on the street. This bike has all the power you need on the street. Yamaha dealerships are everywhere and so are parts. Reliability is a very big deal if you want a motorcycle that gives you peace of mind at a good price.
How big difference is it between this and the superduke r in the low end RPMs?
Vibration: SDR has more, sound: different but still both bikes cool, torque: SDR has more, smooth: MT10 is smoother, mapping: about the same.
An in-line 4 is almost always smoother than a V-Twin in low RPMs, simply because it's twice as many cylinders. I guess it really depends on what one wants. :)
Weird question but what kind of riding pants are those?
Trilobite Parado.
@@NothingToProve awesome thanks man
Advice needed. I currently own a Triumph Speed Twin, but I'm wanting to do more long trips. The Speed Twin doesn't have cruise control or decent wind protection, so I'm considering a sport touring type bike. The ones that I'm looking at are the MT 10(Touring Package), BMW R 1250 RS, and the KTM Super Duke 1290 GT. Which would you chose? Thanks, Justin
Hi, the GT, in my 1250RS 1000km review I go over the differences between the RS and GT. ua-cam.com/video/w2lma77hxy8/v-deo.html.
I would not take the MT-10, has the least amount of wind protection and you'd be stopping at every gas station...the range is not good but then it's a super naked so range was not a concern when they designed it.
Ride safe, Scott
@@NothingToProve Awesome. Thanks for the advice. You do a great job on the reviews! Thanks - Justin

Good video but your voice is really hard to understand a lot of the time
MT10 and “underpowered” in the same sentence doesnt really mix 🤣
Agreed, if you take that statement out of context. The way I used it, it is the lowest powered and is the one of the worst in fuel economy, in the Super Naked group. Now take the bike out of the super naked group and introduce it to someone that has not ridden the other super nakeds, then you won't notice things like these facts. It is a great bike, don't get me wrong, I love it. I was just stating the facts, and comparing it to the other super nakeds. Which is a very competitive group and you have to split hairs to compare them to each other.
Ride safe, Scott
NothingToProve for sure. I havent ridden any of the other super nakeds, but I’ve had a few powerful rides by now and I find the fuel economy on the MT10 is terrible.
I used to say I didnt really care about fuel economy since I only do two or three long trips a year... But man, its damn fustrating when everyone has still more than half tank and Im looking for a petrol station 🤣
Those front forks look so slim!
They are 43mm, which is pretty much the standard diameter for street bikes. But with the bulbous looking front it makes the forks look small.
Excellent work , excellent review.
You say underpowered I’ve owned 2018 superduke r and mt10 sp i’m not surprised you think it’s underpowered do you ride your KTM like that 🐓😂
Na, I don't think, I know it's under powered compared to the SDR. LOL!
🤣👍👍
A poor mans super duke.🤷🏾♂️
Don’t be silly.
Just saying facts bro. I love the MT10 but it’s not the same league as the super duke or Touno, close but not the same. Similar performance though. The Mt10 is a lot cheaper and more reliable long term. Shit I have the XSR900 and I love her for all the reasons why the Mt10 is good but it’s not as good as the top streetriple🤷🏾♂️
