2022 Yamaha MT-10 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Yamaha's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2022 Yamaha MT-10 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 165.9 HP (121.1 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 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 166.2 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 measures 212 kg (467 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 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.83 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 249 km (155 miles) between fill-ups.
