Pure fun device
What is it then?, we asked above. What she is not, comes here: a tourer. In fact, there is a version with a disc and suitcases, but it looks like the designer in charge has just been on holiday. The payload is at 170 kilos anyway meagre. On the other hand, it doesn't matter, because long-haul operations are an ordeal.
Among us, the Yamaha MT-10 is not a sales success compared to its sisters MT-07 and MT-09. Why? It can't be because it's too high for a bike of this class compared to 13,999.
The design certainly doesn't like everyone, but probably the reason lies elsewhere: Whoever buys a Yamaha is more likely to expect the well-behaved daughter from a good house. We, the league of enlightened gentlemen of Motorradtest.de, had bearish fun with the MT-10. Sometimes quite unreasonable!
The test bike was provided to us by Motorrad Ruser in Haseldorf.
