There is nothing to compare it to it is a class of it's own. You cannot compare another 3 cylinder bike that has a 1050 cc engine against an 897cc engine the MT09 costs just over £7700 and the Speed Triple is £10,799, that is like comparing a Skoda to an Audi.
The MT10 I am sure is a decent bike I have had a very short test ride on one when they first came out. The riding position for me was not good , but that was just me as I have knackered knees. I had a good look around the bike and to me the build quality was no better or no worse than an 09. I honestly thought the plastics were pretty poor and to be honest tacky.
I had a 2009 FZ1 18 months ago the build quality on that bike was really good and certainly better than my current MT09. If I could ride an MT10 in comfort I would consider one but that will never be the case due to health problems. My next bike most likely will be the MT09 Tracer.
Concerning power and fun factor the MT09 has ample in both departments, with an upgraded rear shock and stiffer springs in the forks on the twisty roads the MT09 is a match for most 1 ltr bikes. Stick it in A Mode and hold on.
MT-09 Tracer for those who no longer can handle a BIG boy Fazer
