| | Posted : 22 Oct 2017 - 08:57 Post title : Yamaha MT10 | | | Tried one yesterday - loved it - bought it! Extremely comfortable riding position, modern TC and ABS - which I got to test out as it started raining halfway through my test ride. The only good/bad thing (depending on your outlook) about the bike is it wheelies every time you touch the throttle! I will probably take two teeth off the rear sprocket while the chain is still new. The bike feels like a big supermoto, flickable, quick and the motor is going to be a legend! Really genuinely one of the best engines I've ever experienced and it sounds awesome - even with a stock can. Yeah the bike looks like crashed lego - but I don't care! It's a hoot to ride.
Looks like I'm retiring my good old 99 Busa - nearly highsided it on my last trackday (rear wheel spun up at 90+ mph, enough to have me out of my seat!) I'm getting too old to catch highsides (or mend if I don't) - let the electronics take care of me as the reactions fade! So 18 years of Busa ownership comes to an end - I'll be sad but the MT-10 will cheer me up!

Of course - but I didn't find it any more comfortable than the Busa and it lacks power - lovely midrange - but it's just not going to cut it on the track. I mainly use my Busa for trackdays these days - I don't want to set track records or compete in the fast group any more (gettng too old) the MT-10 is genuinely comfy enough to tour on - the Speed Triple is most definitely not. I used to have a Sprint RS - that with another 30 bhp plus the rider aids I'm after would have ticked the same boxes as the MT-10.
