Congrats on the new bike! Glad to hear you sprung for the SP. Getting philosophical, I think you *can* buy happiness by buying things. Anything that gives you experiences or challenges you to do or try something new is worth spending money on. When you're our age and tethered to the "real world" by kids and a job and all those other responsibilities, sometimes spending your money on something that lets you escape all that is one of the best ways to buy joy.

Considering most places have quit letting people test ride it’s pretty normal to never ride a bike before buying now.

I’ve bought 18 bikes, and only ever ridden 1 before buying

Can’t beat new bike day!

Congrats on the new bike. Can't wait to see more videos of it. Brave man switching from adventure bike to naked as winter approaches.

Bloody fantastic! I hope she brings you very many happy miles xxx

Looks ace! 💪 I almost got one this summer, but I'd never owned a KTM big twin and the SDR Evo was calling... very pleased with that, but I think I would've been very happy with the MT-10 too. I look forward to more videos on this!

Awesome bike Tim love it! Pure Quality riding. Noticed you were on the A283 I love that route, I'm always out weekends on my Sprint ST 1050 racing around that area and the A272, shame Autumn has arrived!.😎🤙👊👍

Love my 2019 model! These things are beastly! The engine is a gem, sound is glorious 👍

Congratulations on your purchase, Tim. Like you, I thought the standard bike was great, but the SP is better still and an absolutely brilliant bike to ride and own. You're in for a treat!

Congrats Tim, keep looking at (and loving) my Streetfighter V4S in the garage, but this MT10 SP calls to me - must be that CP4. Need to ride one.

Yes Tim! Welcome to the club. A bit of info, the Tracer 9 heated grips fit with a little bit of modification and they integrate with the dash 100%. Just in case you can't get your hands on the MT-10 ones like me. Oh and the Gen1 comfort seat also fits

You absolutely did the right thing! MT-10SP is amazing!

Congratulations on Your New Bike. A Beautiful Machine. The Modern Day Version of The 2003 Fazer 1000. Enjoy 😊

Congrats Tim. Fantastic looking thing! Great timing too, with a a little bit more summer left to enjoy 😀 I had a customer that thought Yamaha was an English brand! He pronounced it Yarr-Marr-Harr 🤡

Great bike! Congratz🎉

Had to watch again. I got the standard 10, my second one, but I do love the suspenders on the sp. I’ve already got a yamaha with the blurple wheels, a term from the early fz09 days, so I couldn’t really get another. They’d clash! Cool stuff. 👍🤪🇨🇦

Really pleased for you matey ..nothing better than new bike day 👍

Welcome to the mt10 ownership experience 😅😅 all I've done since getting my cyan storm in July is laugh out loud, this bike is brilliant, I've had my suspension setup recently and it's simply a different bike now, more plush over the bumps but amazing in the twisties..., anyway Tim you'll love it..👍👍

Nice brother. Always thought Yams are the pretty,meanest looking bikes. For me this year it was the V4s after watching yours and many other reviews. Their all joyous really 👍🏻🤪

Congratulations Tim. Had my base MT10 since 2016. It's been absolutely brilliant. Bonkers fun, wide big person seat, and so far mine has been super reliable over it's 33,000 miles. Some SW Motech Blaze panniers work well with the bike. Only slight downside is it's thirst and range.

It's the best way to be, I've done the same on a few occasions. I think if you know you know. Enjoy mate!

Hi Tim, 8 years ago you posted this video (Ride Along on a Beautiful Motorbike Road Trip - Europe Style) It showed up as a memory on my Facebook, was a lovely reminder of what I used as motivation to do my test! I own a 2013 Yamaha R1 now 😊 (Thank you)

Bought my MT10SP last year in Poland where I have lived for many years. Truly amazing!! Genuinely nothing to dislike. The biggest surprise for me was being able to ride such a sporty naked at 6'4'" with 35 inseam. Most similar motorcycles are just cramped and uncomfortable. I can ride the MT10 for hours. Your dream has come true!! Congratulations Tim

@Wintersdark

10 ай бұрын

Hah I'm the same size, just bought an SP myself specifically because of that. It's so hard to find sporty bikes that are comfortable at this size, but the MT10 isn't cramped at all. Really comfortable bike for me.

Done the same a few times. Just bought a Super Duke Evo without even sitting on one. There are just no bad bikes nowadays. Would have gone for the MT10SP but current KTM deal with £3k off, 4 year warranty and 4.9% PCP deal made it so much cheaper monthly

My dream bike. Been riding for 2 years on an old 2008 Honda CBF 600. Looking to upgrade after Christmas.

Yeah, so today I test-rode four bikes back2back: original KTM SMT999, Yamaha Tenere 700, BMW R Nine T, Yamaha MT-10. The MT was head and shoulders above the others for me. So much fun, yet controllable, competent, smooth but rough, fast, just loved it.

Good for you! They are a great jigger.

Congratulations on your new bike

Tim, good call; I owned one so a couple tips - get a cover for the oil cooler or it'll be a proper mess in 5k miles and also a rad cover. An Akra can and decat along with a dyno run and setup (suggest BSD in P'borough) is a little on the noisy side but just about on the right side of acceptable and makes the ride much crisper and more predictable - really lovely. Put some HH pads in the front and it transforms the brakes. As you get more used to it you will get cheekier and cheekier 'till one day you get home and think 'I must stop doing that' as you reflect on the 80mph thrid gear power wheelie you just pulled........and then you'll do the same thing the next day. Take care and have fun....
