Introducing the new 2023 Yamaha MT-10 SP…
The highest specification Master of Torque is here. Once you experience the MT‑10 SP’s total performance, you’ll know you’ve truly entered the Dark Side.
The 2023 MT-10 SP is ready to introduce you to the ultimate riding experience with its R1- derived engine boasting the most power in the Hyper Naked line-up. Equipped with its semi-active electronic suspension, high-tech rider aids, and list of exclusive premium features, the MT-10 SP represents the dawn of a thrilling new era in total ride-by-wire controllability. And with its compact headlight assembly and redesigned body, the MT-10 SP projects a brutal and aggressive look that highlights its mechanical strength and functionality.
The next evolution MT-10 SP is ready to introduce you to the ultimate riding experience. It’s updated CP4 EU5 engine is the most powerful in the Hyper Naked line-up. And the radical semi-active electronic suspension and high-tech rider aids represent the dawn of a thrilling new era in total ride-by-wire controllability.
This brutal and iconic naked sport bike is the first motorcycle in the world to be fitted with Öhlins’ a 6-mode electronically controlled spool valve suspension. In semi-active mode the damping force is automatically adjusted to suit riding conditions, giving the highest degree of chassis precision when braking, accelerating and cornering.
To enable you to fully exploit the 998cc engine’s increased power and torque there’s a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that controls traction, slides, wheelies, engine braking and brake power. Exclusive MT-10 SP equipment includes a 3-piece lower cowl and braided brake hoses – and with its dynamic race-inspired Icon Performance colour and premium finish, the MT-10 SP has it all.
