my human rights have been violated Yamaha ,it's time to stop making me feel old and give me an R1 upright and while you're at it bring back 2 strokes.
Er, I think that's what you have in the MT-10!

Yes the MT-10 is basically an upright R1 but it's 'detuned'

Yeah and it produces a lot less power (about 140 rwbhp)
You've got to think that it's basically a modern fazer1000.
Just like when our bikes came out they were touted as naked R1s but we all know that if you actually raced an R1 (stock vs stock) it would demolish you in speed and power terms anyway.
I agree with what Graham says, why can't they either stick straight bars on a superbike or stick the proper engine in an upright chassis without 'detuning' it? I don't understand why they think it's fine as it is with clip ons but the moment you sit up yoy automatically want more torque and less power? If I wanted that I'd buy a twin haha
