YAMAHA MT-10 (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha MT-10 was a standard motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha from 2016, part of the MT series in Yamaha's range and also known as the FZ-10 in the North American market until 2017 when all market models were designated as the MT-10.

The bike was first introduced at the 2015 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy as the flagship model of the MT series. The bike was powered by a 2015 YZF-R1-based engine modified for low-mid torque, with newly designed intake, exhaust, and fuelling systems.

Also, in October 2016, Yamaha released the MT-10 SP model only for the European market that included several upgrades, such as Ohlins electronic racing suspension from the YZF-R1M, a full-color TFT LCD instrument cluster, and a unique color scheme.

In the appearance department, the bike featured a robotic front end with two individual small round headlights, a one-piece dual seat, an upswept exhaust muffler, a side stand, and lightweight five-spoke wheels.

The bike's suspension was fitted on a lightweight aluminum Deltabox frame, comprising a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and a link-type shock absorber on the rear with 120 mm wheel travel.

The braking performance was achieved by two 320 mm discs with hydraulic calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel.

The 2016 Yamaha MT-10 took its power from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, boasting 160 hp with a peak force at 11,500 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) torque at 9,000 rpm.
