Hmm, quite a nice upgrade!
The aesthetics don't do a lot for me although the rear numberplate hanger/mudguard was always needed.
I am mainly impressed the quickshifter and slipper clutch is now standard, and they've added compression damping to the forks.
And they improved the seat! So to me it really does look like they taken a lot of customer feedback and then thrown in the clutch upgrades too.
I am pretty sure the exhaust headers have changed slightly but I found no mention of engine or fuelling related changes

That caught my attention too. Other than that, looks like a cross between the 09 and 10.
exhaust looks unchanged to me but is the silencer XSR style? that carbuncle on the back is awful, as is the headlight.
compression damping adjustment on the forks is a good thing............... if the damping is any good.
fuelling must be changed as it's now Euro 4, same as the XSR.

The tail light looks better and part of the bike rather than a after thought.

Love the new one from nose to tail, hopefully the fork adjusters have a meaningful effect, why has it still got the garbage rear shock, surely another couple of hundred on the price to allow for a decent rear shock (which Triumph seems to nail on there standard 675 and Street Triple) wouldn't hurt sales, why not complete the handling package. But the new looks are wicked and thoroughly modern, love it.

There isn't going to be a tracer with the cp4 engine mate , but there are plenty of touring bits to bolt on to a std mt10 anyway.
Yeh Fly I know, I've heard/read the same.. however in the words of a famous old character.. I don't believe it. The MT10 is crying out for a Tracer version, the 9 has one, the 7 now has one. This there wont be a Tracer MT10 in my opinion is just protecting sales of the naked version for the moment.. I could be wrong.. but..

Headlights seemed to mimic Tracer's without plastic cover and windshield.. it's a matter of time for eyes to get used the new style. Quickshifter, sliiper-clutch and left front leg rebound screw are welcome! Rear light is not so exposed as on 1st edition.
For the same price it remains a bargain..!
There are so much tecnology as the Traction Control and the 3-Mode button.... to "let the children play"....in a friendly way..

Think the headlight from the side looks like a droopy nose. Imagen it would be a lot better with a screen. Likeing it from the front tho... that new rear end setup is hidious. upper part is ok but that big thing on the Wheel.. seriously? on the Tracer it would be fine (looks like a ripof of the bmw800gs..) but on a naked bike? I know it would help for wetness reduction but.. and side reflex on a bracket? MAYBE if the reflex is changed to a flashmount LED turnsignal.. and loose the original.. hmmm.. need to Think about that one... The mt10sp is closing in on the s1000r tho.. .
The mt10sp is closing in on the s1000r tho.. .On yamaha's website the 2017 model is 800$ more expensive than 2016.
Maybe then 2016 price has been lowered for the last bikes ...

What do we think the chances of Yamaha doing a retro fit of the slipper clutch and quick-shifter onto the 2016 models?!?!
