Yamaha MT-10
The Yamaha MT-10 (called FZ-10 in North America until 2017)[1] is a MT series naked bike[3] manufactured by Yamaha Motor Company since 2016. It was introduced at the 2015 EICMA in Milan, Italy.[7] It is the flagship member of the MT range from Yamaha.[8] The crossplane engine is based on the 2015 YZF-R1 but re-tuned to focus on low to mid-range torque. It features a number of significant technical changes including newly designed intake, exhaust and fuelling systems.[9] It produces a claimed 118 kW (158.2 hp; 160.4 PS) @ 11,500 rpm and 111 N⋅m (82 lbf⋅ft) @ 9,000 rpm.[4] The bike with non-functional V-Max-like air scoops[10] replaces the fourteen-year old FZ1 as the flagship bike in Yamaha's sport naked range.
