You have all missed the point about this bike.
It was a surprise when it was launched, therefore it has been kept very secret.
If you watch transformers it looks like bumble bee, i reckon transformers have arrived and done a deal with Yamaha to hide themselves here as cool bikes.

But then you would have to swap the handlebars for right hand drive ones
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
The 998cc CP4 motor is at the heart of the R1 range, but gets some significant changes for the MT-10 to boost mid range torque, including: newly designed intake, exhaust and fuelling systems, as well as an optimised crank balance, and the R1S’ steel conrods (instead of titanium). No power figures have been released, but we expect 165-170bhp.
Rider modes
Yamaha’s D-MODE offers the rider a choice of three riding modes. 'Standard' Mode gives a smooth engine character throughout the rev range, ‘A’ Mode is essentially full-fat mode, while ‘B’ Mode softens everything off – ideal for rainy days and slippery urban streets
