>THE NOT-SO-
CHANGED BITS
Compared to the electronics, the
remainder of the MT-10 remains
close to what it was before.
The main Deltabox chassis and
swingarm come from the R1 as
before—indeed, the MT runs the
same 55.3-inch wheelbase (up
0.2-inches over the old MT),
and the suspension hasn't been
changed from before. Up front sits
the same conventionally adjusted,
fully adjustable, 43mm KYB fork
and fully adjustable KYB shock at
the rear, both offering 4.7 inches
of ground clearance.
>HOW'S IT RIDE?
In a word—brilliantly. The MT-10
held up near-perfectly to almost
any test I could throw at it, from
high-speed canyon chasing to
dealing with the maniac, motorcy-
cle-hating drivers in Asheville, NC.
Even the first sit is inviting. The
MT is a comfy, roomy ride, plenty
