oped to let the motor truly sing
on acceleration and does away
with the old black exhaust guard.
The MT-10's look has been
somewhat minimalized, with the
engineers taking away the plastic
bits and bobs that don't serve
any real purpose and contributed
to the chassis' large look. This is
a lesson imparted by the smaller,
svelte MT-09, which largely
steals the family limelight in the
public's eye.
The rest of the aesthetic is a
nip-and-tuck affair. The gas tank
has been redesigned to allow
the rider an easier time moving
about the saddle by making it
slimmer where the knees grip.
The rider triangle of bars/seat/
pegs has been altered, with the
rider sitting a little deeper in the
seat than in 2021 despite the
seat height itself being 10mm
taller at 835mm. And the pas-
senger seat and surrounding
bodywork have come under the
designer's knife for more com-
fort and to reduce the protruding
plastic.
(Top) New intakes lead to a revised airbox.
(Above) Not much has changed with the MT motor, but
then it didn't really need to. (Left) Light on its feet, the MT
will hustle through corners with the best of them.
