Yamaha MT-10 2022 Review - New Master of Torque!

The #Yamaha #MT10 is one of those #motorcycles that never seems to grow up. You spot them on the road all the time, and with its #transformer styling front and centre, it really is a hard bike to ignore.

After what seems like a lifetime though, the venerable MT-10 is getting a serious makeover for 2022. They say that good things come to those who wait, so we headed to Malaga for a razz on the massively revised 2022 Yamaha Mt-10, to see if the bike lived up to the pre-launch hype.

We’re best known for covering all the latest motorcycle launches and bike industry announcements, breaking motorbike news, first rides, and road tests, as well as reports from the biggest motorcycle racing championships on the planet.

Don't listen to them, MT-10. You're a strong, independent super naked and you don't need anyone's affirmation when it comes to your looks.

The "you want an autograph?" Part had me crying..😂

You're gone on my lsit of favorite presenters !🤣

It appears that Yamaha addressed all the shortcomings of the original MT10. The styling has improved a lot too. As a Tuono V4 owner I have always liked the big Yamaha supernaked

Excellent review! The comments are spot on - at least from my perspective as an MT10 owner. The statement about the horsepower is especially accurate. The 160+ hp MT10 has a more forceful pull in the midrange compared to the 200 hp R1. The R1 pulls harder in the top end compared to the the MT10 but that top end power has not been lost in the MT10 engine - it has been transferred to the mid-range. For a street rider this is a definite win. Sure the MT10 will go very fast, but with the upright sitting position it isn't very fun for a prolonged period. Pulling out of a fast sweeping corner in 3rd and feeling that incredible pull while the front wheel lofts is where this bike shines. It also doesn't hurt that Yamaha's bikes are very reliable compared to some of the more exotic brands. I've owned many bikes and the MT10 is my favourite.

I have a 2022 r7 as my first bike and put about 6k miles on it. I Am very excited to upgrade to the mt-10 when it hits dealerships soon! Thanks for the great video!

What a perfect weekender! I saw the tail bag, and understand there's a tank bag and a more long-ride oriented screen. Looks incredible in black! And, yeah, that's MORE than enough power for just about any street! Great review, and nice job Yamaha!

Great review! Absolutely love the look of the new MT 10! Can not wait to see the SP version! Defo getting one or the other this spring!

Ah yes, speed limiter...the feature we all sought after most. Finally it's here.

Thanks for a great report. 2019 MT-10 owner. Glad to see Yamaha’s incremental approach to improving the bike. They are great fun and still a fantastic value. My very large local dealer pre sells all their MT-10s - so good luck getting one - but highly recommended. Sometimes my face hurts from grinning under the helmet. Not even kidding.

i have an mt09 and would love to add mt10 into garage - looks like a great bike

[georgenewman]

According to the website the tank size is still 4.5 gallons for 2022, though claimed MPG went from 30mpg to 35mpg for 2022. This means a theoretical 157 mile range, up from 135 miles in 2021. To me the lack of range was the biggest shortcoming of the bike. If fuel mileage is actually improved, that is helpful, but another gallon in the tank would be much appreciated as well.

Fun review- thanks for the laughs. Love this bike. Throw on the Yamaha windscreen and bags and you've got a super ST!

The 2023 MT10 SP looks are much improved with colors and chin fairing, the electronic Ohlins suspension is superb as is the motor and have no regrets selling my 2020 Tuono Factory to get one😎

[propheticpig]

Thanks for NOT editing out the boneheads walking through your video shoot. That was hilarious 😂 ! Enjoyed that. oh, and BTW, I love the effortless wheelies, and the slightly more upright riding position too. Don't like the toothpaste colored model, but the dark blue/black looks really good. Can't wait for your review of the SP version ! Oh, and I love the fly screen with LED lights too. Is that factory O.E. or aftermarket?? Looks O.E. to me. Obviously it is.

Just picked up my MT 10 here in the states 2 days ago and can't get enough of it...

[GIGABACHI]

Hey ! Toad is back ! Good seeing you, mate !
You're one of my favorite testers on Visor Down. 🙂👍

[sweetride]

-17.6 db. Of course it is. Moving that slider is such hard work.

[Yamalover]

Great bike... Review spot on. Bike is built for fun...🤪
Not for the ⛽ mileage and all that fuzz
Enjoy the ride 👌🏻👍🏻

[MOTOUK]

Thanks Toad, great review on the updated 10 👍

Please do a comparison between MT10 and Suzuki's Katana ! It begs for that, nobody on YT did it yet which is just bizarre!
