I had an 2016 R1 for six years and the only thing i didn't like was the uncomfy riding position. I eventually traded it for an 2022 MT10 an now I have an R1 with comfy riding position - that's what it feels like and that's what i wanted.

I currently own 2021 MT10 and want to get an R1 so bad lol

Bike runs at a normal temp even on hot days at the stop light . The colors and style are perfect . Plenty of power and sounds amazing when the rpms are high . Totally reliable and feels like it'll run perfect for a lifetime . There's no helmet lock and the throttle lags at low rpm . I don't ride it with low rpms so it's a non issue . I went with a 14 tooth sprocket and it really made a huge difference. No regrets buying this bike .

I love your reviews John. You are one of the few that spend more time on the way a bike feels rather than the copy drivel the manufacturers want journalists to spew. I feel like after I've listened to one of your reviews I could legit get on the bike and have a very good idea of whether it would work for me or not.

As someone who has lived in Asheville, I appreciate that Mr. Burns shows that he understands the intricacies of the Southern American dialect when describing this motorcycle. He properly uses the word "nekkid". For those who don't know, "naked", pronounced with the long "A" sound, means not wearing clothes. "Nekkid" on the other hand, means not wearing clothes AND YOU ARE UP TO NO GOOD! Zooming along on the MT-10 certainly qualifies.

“4 1/2 inches it’s big enough” yeah my girl tells me the same thing!

Love the stand-up comedian quality in this and other John Burns’s reviews

Nope, still crap on fuel unfortunately.

Who else aggrees the new higher gearing is almost dangerous taking off from a stop? Is it really worth better gas milage? I only have 2700miles on it and seriously thinking to gear it down a teense. Other than the bike being constantly EMP TEE my biggest complaint is the massive Cat! WHAT an eye sore! and heavy! Nice and quiet though I do like that! Personally I wish it had some real wind protection ....the OEM "touring windshield" at $250 bucks does look nice, sort of R1 bubble look but its pretty worthless for me at just 5' 10"...I mean you CAN do a ridiculous low hunch behind it with elbows sticking out looking the moron but only as a minute of wind reprieve maybe. Unless you have ridden motorcycles with good windprotection you dont realize how wonderful it is or can be depending

Too bad it's so ugly at least the price is decent for what you get. John and his cruise control, pretty sure it gets 3 out of 10 pts just for that.

It might be a nice bike but you can't buy one, not in these parts. No local dealer has any for sale and the one nearest us only received one lousy unit for the whole year. That's okay by me, though, as the looks of that thing are so far from what a motorcycle looks like where I come from, I'm not sure I could even take it seriously, much less shell out fifteen, eighteen grand for one.

Nice bike & review. I think this is a really good bike overall but the whole MT range just doesn't look quite right to me. The front end & proportions just seem wrong & a bit ugly on all of them.. Although this MT10 is a great well priced machine so I could live with the looks.
