Since its unveiling at the EICMA Milan bike show in November last year, the 2016 Yamaha MT-10 has been widely anticipated by the riding public, notably in Europe. Yamaha, however, refused to divulge any details about the impending naked sports bike, till now.
In a Motorcycle News report, Yamaha has taken into account feedback from its customers and the “de-tuned” naked actually isn’t, not all that much anyway. One of the biggest bug-bears about full-on sports bikes being turned into nakeds in the litre-class is that the de-tuning goes too far the wrong way, with all that was exciting about the sports bike’s engine being lost in translation.
This isn’t the case with Yamaha’s latest naked litre-bike. The 2016 MT-10 has 158.2 hp at 11,500 rpm and 111 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm on tap from its four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, compared to the 200 hp and 112.4 Nm from the YZF-R1. Coupled with a 210 kg dry weight, this would make the MT-10 a sharp-handling, do-anything, go-anywhere bike.
Taking a host of items directly from the fully-faired YZF-R1, the MT-10 carries over the engine which has been re-tuned for better mid-range, the chassis, swing-arm and suspension. The R1’s electronics suite also makes the transfer to the MT-10, with traction control, rider modes, cruise control, slipper clutch and LCD instrumentation. Missing is the inertial measurement unit, that allows for cornering ABS.
Yamaha have also said that the MT-10 will have a full accessories package available when it goes on sale at dealers in May. The goodies include an Akrapovic silencer, quickshifter and various billet components, as well as a bigger screen, soft panniers, heated grips and a softer seat for those riders wanting their bike with riding comfort in mind.
It was reported that the 2016 Yamaha MT-10 will be officially revealed in or around April, with the litre-bike hitting the showrooms in May. The Yamaha MT-10 will retail for 9,999 pounds sterling (RM59,200), which will put it up directly against other nakeds such as the BMW S1000R, Kawasaki Z-1000, Suzuki GSX-S1000 and Triumph’s up-coming Speed Triple R.

Now people like john and donkeykong can buy more powerful bikes and rempit in KL. Federal Minister also now say they can lumba at allocated places. How lucky.
They still can go about without jobs, rely on Government help and still win their prize….an awek if they win the race at Kesas.
Syukurlah Malaysia sekarang ada banyak superbike untuk lumba haram.
Politician retard sudahlah… until u also going full retard…
Ah heck. If I can ride a bike, this is something to drool at. Blistering speed with barebones disguise. A no nonsense speed demon.
The front light clusters look like bayformers bumblebee eyes & digi meter must be stolen from Mospeada’s cyclone armor bike.
If the blue panels came in mazda soulful red, oh boy! What a gal!

Oh my god!!!!! Damn nice looking, with such price this creature can be hot selling soon!!! :-)
direct conversion…. add up tons of tax then sure become ‘mampu tengok’
God damn taxes…!!!! Ruin the dream of riders!
MT09 CKD only 45k, 59k for MT10 is possible
Agreed!!! :-)
But hopefully MT10 got CKD haha
I don’t think that is the final price when it reach our shore right?
Yamaha Malaysia will hv the final say abt that.
Yamaha is quite aggressive on pricing, I dont think the price will be very high though.
Too bad it’s so ugly. I was hoping to trade up my FZ-09 for this, but when I saw it………..
dude ur fz9 is uglier even compare to its rival thatvtime
The Yammy MT-10’s other deadly rivals include KTM Super Duke 1290 R, Aprilia Tuono V4 1100, MV Agusta Brutale RR & Ducati Monster 1200R..
It does look like Megatron!!!! Really like the face and nake body cause it feels alive… :-)
CKD should be cheaper than 59k maybe? MT09 only 45k
i calculated.
in UK,
MT-09 : £ 7,349.00
MT-10 : £ 9,999.00
in MY,
MT-09 : RM 45,000 (Should be lower but I include OTR)
MT-10 : x
If do a simple Math,
x = (45/7349)*9999
= RM 61,226
So in short, I estimated it selling around RM59-61k
wah bro you so serious haha. 61k if OTR still a fair price
If the price is really 59k, im seriously thinking of getting one. Just got back from welly’s hoping they might have one on display.. nope. Cant wait to get on the bike n start touring the country on it. Heard its better than bmw r1000s touring bike
A few dealers in the klang valley are offering mt09 at rm40,500. Check it out at mudah.my
Heated grips for comfort similar like Ducati multistrada lol, im trying to win motogp this year hahaha.
drooling and tempting… can start bid for Putrajaya’s plate F210 i.e.FZ-10… hehehe!
