Built around Yamaha's naked motorcycle platform, the 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP pairs a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 164 HP (119.7 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 111 Nm (81.9 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 164.3 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the MT-10 SP measures 210 kg (463 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.78 HP/kg (1.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 213 km (132 miles) between fill-ups.
