Design

The MT-10 is undoubtedly one of the maddest looking production bikes we have seen from Yamaha or any other manufacturer for that matter. The overall styling is very dark and edgy as you will be hard pressed to find any bits of smooth surface. The front gets twin LED projector units which appear to have been borrowed from the R1, complimented by a single pilot lamp placed in the front cowl. Most of the bike and its components have been left exposed completing the StreetFighter look.
