"I prefer it in B mode, which is the most brutal becuase..."
"Cause you're a fuckin' lad"
10/10 banter. fuckin love you guys
Update: 14,000 miles later and I’m still infatuated with this bike
This content, in my humble opinion, is SO much more interested to me than ANYTHING i've ever seen from the likes of MCN. I could listen to this all day. Well done.
Aw leave MCN alone 😆
That moment with Fagan receives compliment. The look of fear.
Had mine for 5 years and my brakes bedded in and felt fine once they had bedded in and you get used to them. I'm amazed you didn't mention the glorious sound, which I'm still besotted by. Fabulous bike.
glad to see you and al are dating finally
2 guy on a love seat? Really?
can i just say, the camera work on this was the best of any of these videos. great step up.
Best MT-10 review yet! Great work guys. Only slightly disturbed by the cosy-on-the-couch bromance vibe - haha!
44Teeth Casting couch haha, check those stains out.
Jizzy jizzy bang bang indeed ;)
Liam Collister Hah, yeah it's a Jizz machine
Amazes me that Yamaha have put soo much effort in to creating masterpieces like the new r1 and have what looks to be cut corners on the anchors.
Great vid as always chaps
I bought one here in Australia 3 weeks ago and I just love the way it feels. I am a big lad, 6'4" and 120kg. But the thing handles fantastically after some suspension adjustments. The brakes get better with mileage too. Turns heads as well which is a bonus!
How tight are the legs? I'm 6'2" and haven't had a chance to sit on one.
+CBRboy1717 plenty of room for legs. I reckon a 6'6" person would still be fine.
awsome video and review!! I like the casual guy chat bout bikes...just like me n my mates would sit around and discuss bikes ...well done gents
that smile on Barons face when he says are we rolling shows that 2 seconds before they were saying or doing something hilarious.
I love the choice of stop for the lens giving it the star flares.
26k mileage love it to bits just had valve job done. Absolutely do not get tired of this machine.
The shots look great well done on the channel
FYI full exhaust system isn't all steel, The end can is Titanium, and the very best thing u can do when buying an MT10? Dont spend $1,600 on a full Akra,..order a $130 DanMoto cat delete y-pipe before even picking yours up. (Don't spend $375 on a Termignoni, u can't see a difference or hear one over a danmoto) Takes a half hour to install, REMOVES 32lbs of cat weight and best part is what it does. Actual MotoGP soundtrack!!! Don't change the end can, titanium R1 end can with a internal larger diameter than an Akra GP.
Like Chris said, there is a lack of feel (COMPARED TO A APRILIAS Brembos) BUT their DO ALWAS STOP YOU! The power is there just lacking feel. Change to EBC or other race pads and it was night and day for me! It's NOT needed but when I did the cat delete, I thought well I'm shedding 32lbs, took out the 5lb. Motor and cables for the exhaust valve while at it,..so. May as well get a race filter . Then thought well it's pulled apart , may as well mail the ECU to NelsTune, THE crossplane 4 tuner, I had i back 5 days from when I mailed it!!! You tell them what mods you've done, "GYTR race filter, DanMoto y-pipe" Factory can, live at 6,500ft of elevation. And they flash in the best tune possible for that set up, THE can remove codes, turned off the check engine light the 'tis only on becuse the exhaust valve is t working becuse it's gone lol, some states make the check engine on for cat removal, so can delete that. , raise the rev range, and remove the governor. The incease AM had. A higher tip soeed that 155 lol plug the ecu in fire up do a quick easy ride and instantly I knew it was serious . Stock form out accelerates a superduke R to 60mph,..at the now 182hp (crank) it was rediculius!!! Truthefully was not needed but paying g $9,200 us NEW at half the cost of a superduke I decided to add $560 of parts and flash to see what it would do where I saved sO much money over the SDR or a Tuono Facotry and the results were beyond superduke performance, MotoGP sound (don't disagree is u haven't hear one with cat removed). The reliability was AMAYING! Owned 2 years , did. 1,500+ mile trips comfortably and LOVED cruise control, rode it year round , snow in utahs Rocky Mountains to summers of 110+ , not one single problem , the UA-cam pros saying they
Won't buy becuse it's a new model were stupid. Becaue it's 95% an R1, lol was already proven , just de-tuning it which increases reliability. Largest dealerbnetwork on earth, the crossplane 4 has been used by Yamaha since 2009 so parts are everywhere., the crossplane 4 motor has a lifespan 4 times longer than Aprilia or KTMs twin and v4! Look around and shop, I found my MT10 2 weeks after launch from a dealer selling it cheaper than a new mt09!!!! Buy the half priced to SDR MT10 , if you are very very experienced or comming from KTM, do the $550 upgrades and you will never be bored!!!! I had a $144 a month payment. Full coverage insurance for $29 a month. Of the 16 supersports of 26 years of riding I've owned,..my first ever Supernaked is by far the most fun , least expense , reliable, head turning, best exhaust note wheelie monster , most comfortable bike I've owned! Best money spent on a bike!!!! Paying twice that for a name didn't make sense to me. I was debating between a 2017 Tuono factory, and a 2017 Superduke R and becaue of the cost of the MT10 , having owned a crossplane 2015 R1 which I LOVED , a Supernaked version seemed too good to be true, so decided worse case I buy and don't like so I sell. Never once regretted or wished I'd bought the king of nakeds. The 2016 and 2017 Yamaah mt10 was bike if the year across the Bords Both years, even beyond the new SDR and the Tuono Factory 1100! It won naked and Supernaked comprisons and shootouts all over the place over twice priced exotics. A game changer. In fact it was so good, I had to sell for a divorce and in looking for my next bike , am I going superduke where I've owned the MT10 for 2 years already? Nope, in going to buy a NEW 2018 mt10. Dealers all over the US stil have new 2018's with no miles, full Factory warrantys and inane prices to get rid of old inventory. 2018 the added THE quickshifter and many had the comfort seat. A couple ecu updates and electronics updates. I've seen new 2018s for less than $8,500US. If considering a new bike, or buying a hypernaked euro king. Do yourself a favor and test ride an MT10 I promise u u willl be supervised!!!
Great review guys!
Thats the couch at JHS Racing in Bristol! It's in their waiting area for customers
Baron would you pls do a review on the couch you sitting on. Looks like quality.
"Cause you're a fucking lad" lol u guys rock, love the footage of the mt 10. More wheelies please.
love your guys work keep it up
2:30 man those are sick camera shots! love that, and even more the one at 0:07 and the whole intro, SICK
Thanks for answering the question about the hairproduct guys.
Buying one soon hopefully!
Picking up my 2018 Yamaha MT-10 on Tuesday!!!
Guys, great review :)
I can't help but wonder though, what happened to the long term 959 review. Is that still coming?
Got a great insurance deal with BeMoto, thanks 44 Teeth, quoted you too! Keep up the good work, your the bollocks
more useful review than most biker journalist reviews, good work lads.
I have both the FZ9 and the FZ10 2017, both bought at the same time and basically with the same miles on both, I don't have issues with the brakes on either, in fact the FZ10's brakes feel very solid. I barely have to use any force to come to a complete stop from high speed. Not sure if the US version is much different than the Europe version but that is just my experience.
Love the vids as always! Also, abit off topic, are you guys going to make keytags at all on the 44T Merch?
Another awesome videos guys
Great looking bike imo, I love that it's not just another bland bike that you could lose in a carpark- it's very different to all the competitors, and looks great in its own way because of it
Good video lads!
Love it as usual guys. Jizzy bang bang
it looks like a decepticon, love it.
The love seat was an awesome touch guys, 😁✌
Chris u were spot on with this, some disagreed, but the facts were the performance numbers proved the half priced MT10 made it a Supernaked. It out accelerates both the superduke R and Tuono Factory . The suspension is fully adjustable. Has a great electronics package, 4 modes ABS , 4 modes of traction control., wheelie control and 3 throttle modes. The gaxs1000, cb1000R, z900 dropped the ball there. They killed it here!
thenew suke gt looks amazing
it's probably not your cup of tea but are you planning to review the xsr900? I'd like to hear your opinion of it.
It would be a cool project to see what it takes to get the MT-10/R1 brakes to feel properly.
"'Cause you're a fucking lad". Best bit of the whole vid...
For real though, very well done on a notable step up regarding production (not that it was ever lacking). Video is super slick and enjoyable.
Thanks for the review ;)
Interesting brake observation. Another channel did a supernaked test including a brake test which was won by the MT-10. The Superduke came last with it's Brembo's!
Great video!! What's the stand over height?
EBC Double-H sintered pads helps the weak breaks immensely!
Having test rode one the other day on the Yamaha Dark Side Tour, love the bike, handling, engine all fab. I like the looks, I'd just like to know about fuel tank range. Its either this or the KTM GT
So easy to watch. I own that bike, but mine has the brembo upgrade, and braided hel lines, so the brakes are great. I owned the gsxs 1000 before and this has a slight edge to it.
On the brakes, yes when you brake them in a bit, they get better. My colleague also exchanged the pads for more aggressive racing pads and I will exchange the brake lines with steel brake lines, which should also help.
Other than that, I can confirm this is a hell of a bike :)
The power and the looks u like , how about the sound ?
Chemistry between these two is original Top Gear level!! Who’s watching in 2024?
"It's like you're just dipping your fingers in a bowl of mahogany" you don't get that on mcn ;) looking forward to seeing more honest reviews from you guys :)
This channel worth more subs..
When are we going to see the new 44 crib?
"Like dipping your fingers in a bowl of mahogany"
What a comment haha
Does it still get crappy fuel economy like the fz1 does?
So the throttle is less snatchy than the GSX-S1000? Would you guys recommend this over the suzi ?
I've got S1000XR, which is a great motorcycle, but I feel it is a bit top heavy and hard to filter especially in crowded urban traffic. Shall I replace it with MT-10 for my everyday commute?
A good flash of the ecu will remove EVERY bit of that throttle "snatchy-ness". Here in the states that runs about $300. TOTALLY transforms this into a different bike. Add's 25-30whp but feels like much, much more!
How is this vs GSX S1000F?
Baron's face: guessed it by about 90%
Aree the ride modes really different from the fz09? At least in the states A is most aggressive, standard is well, standard, and B is beta/bitch/reserved setting. Just seems weird that they would be different across model lines or region.
wheres the update on the R1M Baron?
This is the bike that has got me off my 20+ year addiction to sports bikes; I agree the brakes are a bit mushy, however EBC pads in a GSXR 750 K6 feel worse, but you get used to them.
All I know is, I haven't laughed as much on a bike as when I test rode the MT 10. Fun at vaguely sensible speeds, unlike the Gixer (and every other sport bike). I'm probably in the minority - I like the tail light as it looks as angular and freakish as the rest of the bike. Freakish is a good thing - those Italian exotica remind me of all the wannabe hipsters out there. (I really must eat that chip on my shoulder :))
And they're playing the ghey thing - FFS, stupid people, wise up suckers.
This is quite possibly the first ever motorcycle review done in a "Talented Mr Ripley" style.
Everyone complains about throttle response but not on the Honda super naked out now even though it's only got 144hp. Plus Honda reliability and it's cheaper. Plus the Honda doesn't look like it was designed outa leftover parts from a sciFi show..
"I prefer it in be mode, which is the most brutal becuase..."
"Cause you're a fuckin' lad"
10/10 banter. fuckin love you guys
We use the same hair product. High five!!
I would love to see this vs the new speed triple
bikeworld have a 25min video of it up against the triple and the other european super nakeds.
+Sinkmonster that's cool n all but I wanna see these guys do it
Want one.
130 hp and 73 ft-lbs of torque, just like my 03 Aprilia RSV Mille 🥲 I have to have one especially that cross plane sound😭
why are people saying that it has "bad" brakes? An other comparison on the internet showed that mt-10 has the best brakes of all supernakeds. They thought the same untill they tested them all and mt-10 stoped earlier from all.
i was going to watch that until princess at the beginning needed to preen oneself!
I order a 2021 matte black 30 days ago and still haven’t got it from Yamaha yet. I’m pulling my hair out going nuts just waiting to get my baby
Is it a Tuono though?
The audio when you are on the couch lets the video down,it sounds hollow and echo's can you do anything with that? but other than that great review.
Can anyone enlighten me on the Jeans/Trousers the Baron is wearing in this?
I like it a lot.
What means "Snapiness"?
I've always wondered what is Al's personal bike.
Brembo pads made my brakes feel loads better!
Hello Baron/Fagan and everyone else. I rode the MT10 (as well as the 07 and 09). My question is do you think Yamaha should make a sports bike using the MT10 engine? I think an MT10 with more wind protection and more sporty geometry would be even more epic on the road. I have not ridden a GSXR1000 yet but they are supposed to be comfortable enough for long trips so that kind of sporty comfort but with torque instead of revvy power. And yes, I am aware of the R1 but that is too much for me for the road in terms of power and cost, insurance etc. Go easy on me if this sounds like a stupid idea because I am a new rider!
Johnny 5 is alive!
Jizzy bang bang!
I can't help look at this bike and think decepticons.
Same
so like.. are your legs touching each other?
Can you do a side by side with the Z1000 pretty please.
IronsWHU I had the z1000... Doesn't even come close to the mt-10
Saw it in person and didn't like it at all BUT... I hope it sells well so that other manufacturers are willing to take greater risks with design. Honda are you listening?
Totally agree. Suzuki too imo. The new SV650 is so.... forgettable
I literally thought the exact same thing the last time I saw a newer SV. For such a cult classic, they dropped the ball on the new design.
"Because you're a fucking lad" HAHAH cracked up :)
I currently own a 1290 Superduke which I absolutely love but by next year it will be 4 yrs so I am seriously thinking to change it & the MT 10 could have been the answer. I have ridden it 4 times & dynamically it's a great bike except maybe for the brakes they are a little wooden but I could live with that. Unfortunately there are 2 reasons why I probably wont buy one. 1-the looks, sorry Yam but for me it doesn't work but I realise beauty is in the eye of the beholder but what really does it for me especially for a flagship model 2 - is the detail & finish. The cables around the headstock are a mess as are the 2 cables running down the exhaust side at the front of the engine & some of the plastic looks really cheap & flimsy. Sorry Yam I really want to like it but it's difficult in fact I think the MT 09 is a nicer looking & finished bike(my son has one). Yam have recently had great success with their MT range but I think they have shot themselves in the foot with the MT 10 & should have made it a little more expensive to improve the quality.
No.
They have a good job on the styling. I wouldn't say it is the best looking super naked but good on them for at least trying something different. Compared to what Honda and Suzuki are making, which are the most boring looking bikes, it is nice to see Yamaha and Kawasaki having a crack.
In all fairness the Honda was released around 2008/9 and IMO at the time seemed more radical looking than the MT10 does now. A super naked without a single sided swing arm is a crime!
***** I mean in general Honda bikes are boring. They don't turn heads like Yamaha and Kawasaki's do.
Jim Ferguson The 2008 honda cbr1000rr in black and yellow was one of the best looking super sports bikes IMO. But in general I agree that they need some more classy looking euro style angled bikes in their lineup. I've been waiting for an updated cb1000r since I test rode one in 2009.
That shit is ugly as hell.
+prndonwload so bmw and aprilia should be in jail?
Nice to see sue perkins on a bike
So the brakes are just like the ones on the Mt 09, seemingly non-existent at first until you really squeeze on them and then all of a sudden they work, fairly well I think. Not so excellent, but pretty okay
It didn't feel as punchy down low as MT-09 when I test rode it but then again I didn't really have the space and time to push it that hard. Granted it's a much better ride than MT-09, the suspension is miles ahead and it actually felt lighter at low speed. I'm kinda in between getting this bike or keeping the 09. I bet with an aftermarket exhaust and a tune the 09 isn't that far behind, at least on maniac factor. You would gain about 10 hp and 10 nm. And lose over 5 kg of weight from a bike that weighs less than 180kg wet already. I just can't shake my mind that the MT-10 isn't really much faster than MT-09. Not before 200 at least. What do you guys think? Quite a dilemma here...
I've actually just placed an order for trading in my '17 MT09 for an MT10.
I had renthal low fatbars on MT09 and I was able to ride fast keeping up with 600's all day in the corners even with stock suspension.
I was about to drop cash into new forks, shock and brake setup but I've decided to trade it for the MT10.
The MT09 can hang with a 600 supersport until about 160kmh and then you can't keep ground.
The MT10 will blast just about most bikes out of its way being a proper big bike in naked form.
Just food for thought.
Had both.. The 10 is so much better
60fps is so smoothh...... (y)
i need someone in my life to look at me the way baron looks at jason statham.
Sorry baron but you have to try got2be hair powder... great quiffabilty
Where is the bike review?
you guys are like the Top Gear (Clarkson days) for bikes
I don't think think Clarkson and gang were that gay.
Amen to that
Yamaha need to dump that in house shite and get on the Brembo train
yeah even Suzuki have Kawasaki finally put them on the ZX10R. I would rather pay a bit more for the bike and get decent brakes "Brembo's"
