Yamaha MT10 Prices and Specs

Im shocked how shocked everyone is of the price :confused:

It's pretty much the standard now, the z1000 is £9.5k, Tuono V4 1100 is £14k! Hell the speed triple is £10.5k

Most thousands are around the £10k mark now.

Prices of bikes are raising as they have all had to spent loads on new emissions regs.
 
I didn't know they were billing it as "the cheapest bike in its class", to me it appears to be priced at the lower end of the naked thousand market which, given the engine, isnt bad going. (£500 difference is hardly massive). Remember the R1 which this is based on is £15k so they've got to make some cuts somewhere! :p

Ive not seen one in the flesh which is probably why I've not seen the apparent cheapness. Be interesting to see the reviews.

I agree the S1000r is hard to ignore but if you ask me that's cheap rather than this being expensive. But the RR is less than £14k too which compared to the r1, rsv is good.

The GSX-S1000 ABS is £9600, so it's not like the MT10 is cheaper than everything else. And I don't remember the GSX-S1000 feeling cheap when I rode it, it was a great bike - 145ish bhp so very decent power too.

So it's £400 more but is up on power with a much better, newer engine and a host of electrical aids (like them or loath them they still cost money). Not really bad IMO...

This sounds like I worship the ground the mt10 rolls on, I really don't, I'd take a s1000r too. I just don't think it's over-priced :p

Yer i think maybe the mistake was calling it an MT? Its heavily based on a £15k bike so to get it much cheaper would be hard.

The Suzuki is actually £9,999 too but that is fuglier IMO anyway :p
 
You do realise the S1000R weighs 207kg? :p

My bike it 210kg I think, you won't notice an extra 25kg unless you're pushing it! Obviously lighter is better but such small difference wouldn't put me off one bike.
