Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a high-performance naked-derived machine best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable with strong midrange torque and a fast-spinning inline-four, though the note that this is the 'Tourer Edition' with a windscreen suggests a mildly softe
PurposeBuilt for riders who want blistering acceleration and sharp handling with a touch more wind protection and long-distance usability added on top.
Rider FitThe 210 kg weight and 815 mm seat height are manageable for most riders, but the aggressive power delivery and firm suspension reward a confident, moderately fit rider rather than a beginner.
CharacterA muscular, torque-rich streetfighter at heart, dressed with a windscreen and touring pretensions, delivering aggressive acceleration and razor-sharp throttle response wrapped in an aluminium Deltabox frame.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, off-road use, or anyone seeking a plush, relaxed, long-haul touring experience.

2018 Yamaha MT-10 Tourer Edition Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2018 Yamaha MT-10 Tourer Edition, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
