Yamaha MT-10 Photo Gallery

Last month, Yamaha launched the streetfighter version of its flagship litre-class superbike at the 2015 ECIMA Show in Italy. Based on the YZF-R1 superbike, the Yamaha MT-10 is the perfect personification of a stripped down hooligan bike. The MT-10 sits on top of the MT food chain in Yamaha’s line-up, locking horns with the likes of  the BMW S1000R, KTM 1290 Super Duke, Ducati Monster 1200 R and the Aprilia Tuono V4. Check out the detailed photo gallery of this mental machine below:

The straight handlebar and revised footpeg placing have resulted in a taller and more upright riding position.

 

The aluminium Deltabox frame encloses a 998cc four-cylinder 'CP4' crossplane engine, retuned to offer extra low to mid-range torque.

 

The engine delivers around 165bhp and 101Nm of torque through a six-speed constant mesh transmission.

 

The four into one exhaust system has been carried over from the YZF-R1, though the heat shield gets a different design.

 

The instrument cluster is made of a MotoGP-inspired fully-electronic multicolour LCD display, again borrowed from the YZF-R1.

 

The muscular radiator vents extending from the side of the fuel tank are trademark design influences of the MT range of streetfighters. 

 

The fluorescent five-spoke alloy wheel is linked to an aluminium swingarm and a fully adjustable monocross suspension.

 

The front fascia gets a compact yet aggressive-looking LED headlamp design that underlines the MT-10’s aggressive character.

 

The MT-10’s electronics package includes a three-level traction control system, three rider mode options and a slipper clutch.

Globally, the Yamaha MT-10 is offered in three quirky paint schemes –
