I like them them too. A neighbour has the SP model which looks trick.

Does it turn into a robot if you get the sequence of button presses on the handlebar switches right?
I'm sure it's a very good bike, but the looks are not for me.

That cooler looks a bit vulnerable! Riding position looks ok though. I'd say that's a

The looks were obviously designed by a committee, after a long sesh in the boozer

Tricky one to answer, it's generally boiled down to cost and options of finance. I rode Trickys and loved it.

If I were after something a little sportier and not for the commute, a big yes from me.....

Re: Dream garage bike No1 Yamaha MT-10
Just had a look at how much they cost, £13K is pricey, but not mega money, the looks really stop me buying it, but I think that if I liked the looks it would be a bit like the R1 I had, an absolutely brilliant bike but if you weren't using the performance it felt a bit boring because you were so far within it's limits.

If we're dreaming big-engined naked thumpsters...
This dream also includes me not having to find the cash to buy it, nor my lack of skills/balls to ride the thing properly.

Re: Dream garage bike No1 Yamaha MT-10
Also begs the question why did Tricky sell it? Mind you its all academic from my point of view. You blokes ride the tits off of bikes, but i'd just go around scaring myself on it, with 1st/2nd gear acceleration and one foot high wheelies!weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 11:22 amTricky one to answer, it's generally boiled down to cost and options of finance.

Re: Dream garage bike No1 Yamaha MT-10
That vid you posted best defines an MT-10- is what they do very best (well apart from look and sound seriously cool ! ) and I think it is in fact impossible to ride one without wheelying it

to buy this
I don't have that now, but I'd have another, and as I have said more than once on here, if I were only allowed to own one bike , well I'd be seriously upset and in a quandary as I do love green-laning and not sure if I'd want to be without an off-roader, but assuming a tarmac-only bike than it would more than likely be an MT10-SP

Re: Dream garage bike No1 Yamaha MT-10
I just can't get past the looks, it looks like someone took a dull mid range bike and bolted the M&P catalogue onto it.
I'm sure it goes well, but why make it look like that? Get an Italian in to design it.

Re: Dream garage bike No1 Yamaha MT-10
The MV actually looks like was designed by one person though. It may be err....unique....but it does at least look like a design. The Yamaha just looks like it's got loads of bits bolted on.
