Read more about Zack’s thoughts on the Yamaha MT-10 on Common Tread! rvz.la/3y76zb3 And if your bike needs new rubber, check out Michelin! rvz.la/3dTERaR

Zack just needs to "Daily Rider" all the motorcycles out there and I'd watch every single episode of them. Then rewatch them again. 😆

MT-10 999cc, not a literbike, so.... appropriate first motorcycle! Sweet!

27:54 “Yamaha built an engine and then it built a chassis and a bike around it"

I daily ride a 2021 mt10, they are absolutely incredible machines, sure they suck gas but nobody buys an mt10 because it’s the economical option. It’s because they want a monster that sounds better than any other bike. The amount of fun on you can have on them is just insane.

Major props on riding from the passenger seat.. that was cool!

Thank you, Zach, for properly demonstrating how lane-filtering is very safe and practical for motorcycles, where and when lane-filtering is legal. California, Utah, and the rest of planet allow for lane-filtering on motorcycles. Zach, Ari, RevZilla, motorcycle community, lawyer-riders, legislators everywhere! Make motorcycle lane-filtering legal everywhere in the USA, please! People on motorcycles are getting rear-ended and crushed to death by massive vehicles! Save motorcyclists lives by allowing lane-filtering country-wide! It is safe, it is practical, and it saves lives!

I owned a 2018 for 5 years....and I think this new one seems slightly more tamed. I rode mine from Los Angeles to Salinas and then back down through Big Sur, took it to the racetrack a ton of times, commuted almost daily for 80 miles a day and rode to coffee with my wife and 2 ups out of town from LA to Joshua Tree....seriously one hell of a great bike! It does a lot of stuff quite well...aaaand it will wheelie all day long, anywhere! IMHO not for beginners.

Took MT-10 for demo ride last year only because it was the only one available at the moment. I really didn't care about it but, wow, what great bike it was. Surprisingly comfy and just great feel in every aspect. In some other life I would love to have it. Felt same about ninja 1000sx this year. But, in this life I can only stay in ADV world.

Always a great ride along. Zack gives a great informative review every time.

I live in Victoria Australia, there are litterly unmarked mobile speed camera vechiles randomly set up everywhere in Melbourne, and unlike other states in Australia, they don't need to give any warning or signage and yes you will get a fine in the mail for just a few km over the speed limit. So features like a speed limiter for daily commuting in urban areas is definitely a good feature. After all your eyes should be on the road not on your spedo constantly checking Imto make sure your not 2 or 3km over.

I need that engine sound in my life. So good!

Whoever designed the front must’ve just got done watching the movie “The Fly” with Jeff Goldblum.

Zack. you are one half of my favorite duo of moto jurno's. The reason that motorcycles have shorter mirrors that look at your elbows, As far as I have deduced as a commuter that rides a lot at night, is so you don't get the lights of following traffics lights in your eyes all the time. I personally love this feature and struggle on bikes that direct the light at you, especially as the new cars have crazy bright lights. Love to here your feedback. Keep up the great reviews.

Love these videos - also, it's absolutely hilarious to me that I'm watching this in my garage next to my parked '22 KLR base model, lusting after the MT-10, & then Zach ranks the MT-10 below the KLR lol. I hear ya, I love it, I'm not sure I agree... but damn it's just funny.

Love this channel

Zack It is worth it every time .So much joy and practical information on each bike . When you put yourself on the back of that super bike with your long legs up in the air steering with your lower body ; I almost lost it . Please folks don't try this at home ... It does show what a life time of riding will bring one on the skill level . Always a joy / Thanks Guy .

Speed limiters are ideal for sections of road works where there's a 50mph limit which is monitored by average speed cameras. Saves you from absent mindedly wandering up to 60 and getting a ticket.

I'm 100% the demo for the rider nannies. I'm not a massive fan of the dash (I have a 2018 GSXR1000, and I'm happy with that basic dash), but I like the rider aides. Essentially, I don't trust myself with that much power, but still enjoy experiencing it, so the extra peace of mind is crucial for me. I'm sorry that people like me are making these bikes less "pure", but I'm not sorry enough to stop demanding it. FWIW, I also have a 2019 MT09 and I would agree that the new MT09 electronics are perhaps an unnecessary extra expense in that case. But, the MT10 is a different animal, and I specifically didn't buy the last model because of the rudimentary electronics.

In my dreams, there'd be a "Tracer 10"...

Man, your reviews are tremendous. I love them. Came across your channel suddenly a hour ago. Made a subscription after 10 minutes. Nice tests, nice skill, nice voice, nice information. Love it

Best reviews in the biz, period...never thinking about skipping, fast forwarding or nodding off Zack's entertainment channel. I certainly have a totally different take on what bike would come out on top of the daily rider board though...If I'm on it daily and in lots of traffic and stop and go stuff all those bikes with 450 lbs. + weight and/or the higher strung race-bred engine designs would go to the bottom of the board.

I live in the UK. I wish all bikes had a speed limiter feature like this. It’s great. Most motorways (highways) around here are 70mph but they’re introducing all sorts of ways to catch you out including: * speed cameras every few miles * speed cameras during roadworks * average speed cameras during roadworks (usually 50mph and if you exceed that over, say, 10 miles, you get a ticket). Cruise control is great but our roads are too busy - ultimately you need adaptive cruise control otherwise you’ll be constantly turning it on/off/on/off as you ride. The speed limiter, therefore, is perfect, as it means I can set it to the legal limit of 70mph, ride normally with the throttle in traffic, and not going over the limit and worry about trigging a camera. That said, while I am generally in favour of speed cameras on smaller roads, I think it’s absolutely dangerous to put them on motorways as people keep speeding anyway but now just brake heavily for the cameras, and if there’s an accident and they drop the speed limit down to 40mph it means potentially I have to brake hard in heavy traffic to avoid getting a ticket. It’s dangerous, it’s stupid, and I feel extremely vulnerable in the car when I have to do that and it’s 100x worse on a bike.

I have a 2016 Mt10 with 50k kms and almost 100 percent original. I just added a small Puig screen. Yesterday I rode 360km to visit my son and this morning returned. The Mt10 is not a tourer but goodness SUCH a fun bike to ride! I got 200 km between fuel stops not even on reserve and she has so much grunt from low revs......

The Gen 1 is the best blend of simplicity, fun and cost. Toss brake pads, a rear shock (Stoltec valved Penske) and a auto blip and you have an incredible street tool with modern updates.

I've just upgraded from a 2016 MT09 to a 22 MT10. Still awaiting UK delivery. Ordered in March.

Idk about the complexity thing...all you social media influencers and moto journalists kept going on and on this past decade about "get with the times" "it's nice but it doesn't have a color TFT" "Where are the Ride Modes?!?!" and now that a bike has those upgrades your like, "I miss when it was PURE". Like pick one and make up your mind about which direction your want manufacturers to go.

Thanks for this - was a big part of my decision to end up with my 2024 MT-10 - absolutely love it! Great video.

"Now is the time where we see if the bike will wheelie". You've never uttered a funnier line. lol.

I've a 2018 I bought new and my fuel usage is so different from yours/this new model that it seems just crazy. I get in the 25's to 28's mpg in mixed riding situations. I spend so much time at a gas station compared to anything I've had in the past and, I've had many, many bikes. However, this is possibly my favorite to date having come off a 2017 Super Duke. I find the bike so comfortable with the addition of a sport windscreen and a Corbin saddle which gives both me and my grandsons additional leg room. I find the twitchy throttle much more progressive and predictable in lower gears compared to the Duke. I noticed they went for a jar instead of the lower profile metal front brake reservoir on this model (don't like) and got rid of some of the plastic embellishments giving the bike a cleaner appearance. I love my large black and white instrument screen and still have the stock mirrors for which I must pull in my elbows for a clear rear view. I found your last segment at the board just a hoot. It was as if a stand-up comic was holding back and presenting a well thought out summary . . . it was definitely so much fun to watch.

I totally and completely believe that Zack's article is the best ever. And he pointing that out is just honesty. C'mon people.

Love my Fz10 to death. Everything besides the fuel mileage 😅

My son watched the Simpsons with my wife back in the day I never was able to enjoy as they did yes, I was working most of the time when it aired, so my wife was a stay-at-home mom she has fond memories to this day. Thank you for your content.

Lover’s lane has evolved into Self-Love Lane, now with the power of automation (cruise control) and daring (scooting back on the passenger seat on a moving motorcycle)

You got me good with the “NOOOO I DONT THINK SO!” - I’ll buy you a beer for that someday.

That's why I spent a very pretty penny to completely upgrade my 2007 Suzuki Bandit. Who needs a new bike when you can get a super torquey 1250 4, with 150 on top (RWHP) which is right in line with these new bikes. Sure, you have to rebuild the engine with agressive cams, a tune, and increased compression, but it's unlike any bike I can buy now. A true analog bike.

That yellow truck at 9:28 scared the bananas out of me! Sh*t man!

Love these real world ride to work tests!! For me they are much much better than track days etc...

My life summed up in one sentence at the end. 'This whole fuckin thing where we sit in traffic, NOT OKAY!' LOL

As I watch this it's 2/22/23. I test rode a 2022 MT10 back in spring 2022. I wasn't looking for a video about motorcycles, but Yay knows me well 😉😉. Most of Zach's comments about the bike made me feel like I was Riding it again. Guess the a sign 😎

I’m 6’5 and this is actually a perfect bike for me being so tall..I bought a 2024 SP one and just put a full acrapovic exhaust system on it and is just godly sounds every where I go I get comments about how cool it sounds and looks..

Maybe I'm just old but even the younger people I know that own sport or naked bikes hate how uncomfortable they are . After an hour most have had enough. Making a standard motorcycle that has all the power and a very comfortable seat should be an option . I am pretty much forced to ride either a cruiser or a touring bike because I go on weekend rides of 400+ miles which no one wants to do sitting on a rock

Is first time ever on the daily ride the three coolest words I've ever seen a bike reviewer use power performance and wheelie capabilities Yamaha MT 10

I've had my first gen since 17 and love it! Clip ons transform the experience along with pads and a tune.

Speed limit is 55 - Set the limiter to 60... **Laughs in Australian highway Patrol - They'll still ping you for being 5 over

I don’t own a bike, nor have I ever ridden one but I have absolutely fallen in love with this bike.

I'm all for the performance and tech, but it looks like it's been crashed and reassembled from spare parts. The loose cables on the side are really anxiety inducing. Great video as always :)

I have the 19 MT10 and I'm so jealous of that MPG.

As a shorter rider (5'6 30 inch inseam) I didn't think it would be that tall, pretty much one of the main reasons I bought my 2020 z900. Aside from the looks the MT checks all the boxes for me 👍

Another great video. I'd love to see you do a daily ride on a ZH2.

Low key shocked you didn't have to make two fuel stops on the way to the office.

I've owned the older model MT10 for over 6 years and 32,000 miles. What an amazing machine. Not sure I've seen anything on this new bike that tempts me to 'upgrade' Looks I know are subjective but I just don't like the restyled front. Also if the fuel consumption really bothered me I wouldn't still have the bike. For me it's all about the crazy fun performance in a comfortable package affordable to the normal working person. Don't want any more electronics, don't want it geared up, don't want the quieter exhaust.

I had to work allll morning knowing this video was waiting for me when I got done. Thanks for the always entertaining and quality content. Cheers

As a new rider. The most impressive part of this video was the u turn he banged right in the beginning lol

Love my mt10 also if you get a corbin seat it makes the passenger way more comfortable plus it's softer on your bottom as well

Let's get a Ninja 1000sx on the board

14:24 I have the bike and live in Europe and, sadly, the speed limiter is not absolutely necessary but a good thing to have. This bike makes you go fast without being even noticed and there are way too many speed cameras here. All the efforts the government makes are to take as much money as possible from drivers so you must take real care with that. Great video as always! ✌️✌️

If you want better brakes install Brembos new LA compound street pads. They are amazing and much better than the red SA compound pads for the street. This transforms these brakes into true two finger front brakes!!

I've had the previous model for 4yrs and almost 50k kms. Never let me down, still have a chubby every time I ride her

Variable speed limiter...I'm from the UK and my car has it. I don't use it much as it seems a bit like an answer to yesterday's problem. I can't speak for wider Europe, but in the UK there are a lot of GATSO speed cameras: which use radar to detect a vehicle, then take 2 photos a set distance apart and record the speed - leading to a penalty if its over the posted limit. A while back, you'd see strings of these along prolonged stretches of motorway (highway) with construction, where the limit had dropped from 70 to 50 or 40. The feature works well there as it stops you day-dreaming or picking up speed down a gentle slope without realizing it and passing a GATSO. Now, these GATSO stings have been replaced by ANPR (auto number plate recognition) which picks us each vehicle along a route and works out the speed between those distant points. This means a slight creep-over can be corrected with a period of sitting under the limit, and there is no specific need to fear creeping over the limit on a set piece of road just because that is where the camera is. General cruise control works just fine here. I guess if you have a local road where traffic will mean non-radar cruise is a pain, this feature could stop you accidentally passing the camera over the limit....but seems a bit of a trade off for losing the ability to scoot past (for example a cyclist in a 30 or 40 zone) without having to deactivate something first

Yamaha's cross plane crank is to music to my ears.

Best review. My dude just took a sharp right into a dirt road to test it offroad which I never will. Thanks.

Just want to say to let y’all know, that cross plane 4 cylinder engine is my idea that i had in 1974, it works is all i care about, sounds great on KZfaq, i’m 66 years old now, and still haven’t heard the real thing run, yet!

This is the bike I want. It's basically a new version of my favorite bike my Honda 919.

90* valve stems can not be overstated.

Adding some tech is also a great way to motivate why a bike should be more expensive.

I'm surprised nobody commented but it looks like he tried to trick us up by doing a evening ride to work 😅 another enjoyable daily rider experience

Zack you are awesome, I have a 2022 mt10sp in the UK had an mt09sp for 3 years before it. Absolutely love the mt10 with a decat pipe of course you can't beat that sound and just fun fun fun...not that the 09 wasn't. Great review....every biker should have a go on an mt10 once at least.

I’m always psyched when I see a new Daily Rider came out 😊

The speed limiter sounds great for places that are full of speed cameras.

Fantastic review. Yamaha, if you're reading this, pull the trigger on building the Tracer 10.

The imu is worth it imo. I have the MT-09 and it’s possible the slide control saved my butt a couple times. It might have been me. I’ve been riding for a while and have some experience with a bike getting sideways. But that’s on cruisers with bias ply tires. So cold sport tires were new to me when I bought it along with wheelies. I’m not good at them but the lift control gave me a safety wall to learn how to be confident doing them. The traction control does interfere with them sometimes if you’re doing clutch ups. But it’s also not 100% fool proof. Every now and then you will get past it’s safety limit. So definitely don’t rely on it to save your butt all the time. I’ve heard of one person looping it on a power wheelie. Overall it’s still nice they’re there if you need them. Not everyone is as skilled as Zack Courts lol

He never turns his head to the left when the lights turn green to make sure a car ain’t coming/running a red light. Wish he would.

That oil cooler in front of the headers doesn't seem like a wise choice 🤔🤔

Why do they not put 90 degree valve stems on every bike like this?? The we could actually use those annoyingly shaped pumps at most service stations.

You're forgetting the key difference between the mt09 and mt10. The 09 is a triple, the 10 is an inline 4. Torque response is a bit different between the 2, as is the exhaust note. Which also plays a roll in curb weight handling, so on. It's not just a power perspective difference between the two.

Brilliant! What started out as a very run-of-the-mill review was saved, ney, elevated to lofty heights by your dirt trail excursion then the questions at the end: the 2022 MT-10 has emerged from the Octagon a bloodied and laughing maniacally, still drunk on Duff, runner-up to the SuperDuke - gets my vote! 👍

With all the good sound commentary, don’t forget the new acoustic intake holes added. :)

how to nicely tell it is not for short riders, is what i wann learn from zack

Love the shadow at the start of the ride!

Better fuel economy is what that bike needed.

Great review thanks for the update on the 2022 model. I've been contemplating on upgrading to the current model from a 2018. I have to say I've been blessed and maybe a bit lucky to have the opportunity to own the first iteration of the mt10. It's been a great daily rider and I'm now loyal to yamaha the Mt series bikes, they've been a hit with me and my friends for years. This video makes me grounded in my decision to be comfortable considering on the new upgrade to the 2022/2023 . Thank you ! Have a nice day.

Fantastic videos, but can you start putting the updated list in the description please? Keep up the awesome work. 👍

Haven't watched your reviews for some time due to exogenous circumstances. But I have to say, you are one of the very best! Thanks!!!

Funny, I have the same tick. I also check my indicators every 15 seconds 😂

MT-10s sound so good.

I never would have thought I'd be saying this, but I actually like the speed limiter idea. I still like to play with the throttle when I'm not trying to go super speed, but these bikes can end up going 120 really quick, without trying, on the shortest straight. My friend got clocked at 120 after the quickest handful of throttle. He said he was thinking "I'll just hit it up to 80 or 90". Plenty of times I've looked downd after a quick twist, expecting to see 85 or 90, only to catch it falling past 1xx. I'd probably use it all the time if quick/ easy to toggle.

Michelin is my favorite all around tire brand for sure.

A self imposed speed limiter is a great feature. Save your licence

14:15 speed limiters let you set a limit and not watch your speedo constantly. Just set the limit and go hamburgers without worrying about exceeding the limit when there's heavy police presence in the area. I've used speed limiters a lot when i'm going through an area i'm not familiar with and i don't want to glue my eyes to the speedo.

There is a difference between a bike designed to be the best on a racetrack and one that is fun on the streets. Honda used this to design the original fireblade. I usually here that the Aprilia and Ducati are faster on a track, but people have more fun ripping the MT-10 on the back roads. I think the MT-10 is the sweet spot for cost, performance, exotic feel, fractures, comfort, looks.

Superduke is down right awesome but after purchasing the electronic packages your are paying soooo much more!!! I originally put a deposit on the mt10 22 then lost my deposit because I bought a bmw s1000r instead I fell in love with how refined it is… and I’m a big s1000rr fan girl! But the point it was the same price as rhe mt10 sp even though it’s a BMW

20:02 are those radiator fans kicking in ?? Dayum and i thought my Husqvarna was loud 😂🥲

the way you took that turn with no hands, amazing

owww my fucking god I was looking yesterday to see if you had made a video about the new Mt 10 what a pleasant surprise to see you uploading one today

My motorcycle head hero - more content from Zach please

I would probably still swear by the exhaust note of Aprilia's V4, but as an owner, I'm biased. I would be eager to get a proper taste of Yam's CP4, especially with an aftermarket Akrap or similar hardware. Haven't got the pleasure yet, I am sorry to admit.

Loving the revamped lovers lane segments

Duffman is actually spot on odd colours and all.

So next spring I'm hoping (planning?) for things to work out to buy my first brand new bike. There are really 4 I'm considering: MT-09 SP, MT-10 Base, GSX-S1000GT+, and a Hayabusa. pretty diverse choices I know... If you could do a daily ride on a new 'Busa that would sure help me out!😎
