[bri h]

Ive been saying for a long time that i wouldnt be intersted in another bike unless they put the crossplane crank engine int a road going frame....... bugger . Its fugly though

[fireblake]

I think it looks awesome. Very aggressive lines. Shame it wasn't called an FZ1 though

Fugly is being kind.

2 MT10 threads eh.........it must be good!.....anyway im on this one now coz its in general so should go further.


I reckon it is a modern day mt01.......aj jay reckons no.....he reckons it will be lighter than the gen1 thou & the gen 2 thou........and the tracer.


Comparing like for like though would not include the gen 1 or the gen 2 S models as they are semi faired bikes so it is against the gen 2 fz1 naked......and the mt09 naked......what say ye........i say the mt10 will be heavier than both and wont handle like the MT09 does.......plus it could end up with too much top end as usual in a quest for big stats.....like the gen 2 does.


Must be honest ive never bothered my arse to look into what a cross plne engine is........whats the benefit then.......is it torque & power in one or somethin???

Ray of Darkness

power torque agility The MT-10 is the one you’ve been waiting for. It’s by far the most powerful MT ever created. And the time has come for you to enter the next level of darkness.

You’ve done a lot of riding. So you know exactly what you want. Serious power with corner-carving precision. And natural ergonomics that mean you can ride anywhere on any road. Ride the Ray of Darkness with the MT-10.

Driven by a 998cc crossplane engine tuned for extra low to mid range torque - and rolling on a lightweight ultra-short wheelbase aluminium Deltabox chassis with a natural riding position - the MT-10 gives you ultimate power with class leading agility and total control.

With a more recent R1 engine, it wont be much different to our FZ1's , bring It on

Would like to see a yellow and black speed block version and I would consider selling your left bollock to some unscrupulous Nigerians Slim. 

[joebloggs]

Call me old if you want but I remember unfaired bikes that you could afford to crash, not saying you should but when/if you went down you'd get away with a new engine badge a handlebar grip, possibly a brake or clutch lever and a few mins polishing the scratches out of your exhaust can. Now low side that and the repair bill would probably clear the debt of a third world country. That of course is if you could actually manage to describe which parts you want..........Could I have a side pannel for a etc etc ..........which one sir......Errrrrr.

I hope the oil cooler has a good stone guard fitted?

Oops apologies to sadlonely git I didn't see your thread on the thou page.

I love the yellow/black speed block scheme but don't think it would work on that shaped tank. Liking the blue jobby though.

That'll be made from softasshitus so should be fine 

[BBROWN1664]

It is fugly

[HarryHornby]

What the foc is that stuck on the front above the mudguard.  It looks terrible.

[Dead Eye]

Oooohhh I like it

The MT-09 just always felt a little out of proportion whereas this seems a lot better... I can see me riding one of those... if I had any money...

Fugly is a understatement here Bri 

Otherwise seems good idea to me lets hope they will do faired version at some point

What an R1?

[mr self destruct]

I can just imagine the design brief meeting:
"Right lads, MT10. Naked R1. Dave, you go and design me the exhaust and the instrument cluster. Jim, you do the headlight and the swing arm. Mack, you've got the seat and wheels. Steve, handle the mudguards and the air intakes. And by the way, all of you sit in separate rooms and don't EVER talk to each other."

An R1 is what everyone's mate has when they know nothing about bikes in a conversation.

"What bike you got then?"
"600, Fazer."
"Oh.......my mate's got an R1."
"Really.....!!"

This doesn't apply to Stevierst's mates, 'cos he really does have one. 

[fazersharp]

That headlight and instrument panel area looks a bugger to clean the flies out of

[Dead Eye]

Having looked at a few more photos, I prefer the instrument cluster on the MT-03... I like dials
