I had a good look at the MT10 when they first came out and sorry but the build quality is on a par with the 09. Very much a budget bike, cheap tacky plastic bits all over, not unlike the 09.Which I love by the way, and have owned one for over 18 months now. It is a 2013 bike, still looks like brand new but there again I live in a decent climate here in SW France.
If I had one in the UK it would be plastered in ACF50 12months a year.
Dudeofrude, you say the Speed triple would trounce the MT09 ?? well 138 bhp 1050 cc v 115 bhp 897 cc it should. Also the Trumpet is nearly £4,000 more the MT09 the only two comparisons I see are, they are both naked bikes and both 3 cylinders end off.
