The Yamaha MT-10 (called FZ-10 in North America until 2017) [1] is a standard motorcycle made by Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha in their MT motorcycle series, [3] first sold in 2016. It was introduced at the 2015 EICMA in Milan, Italy. [7] It is the flagship member of the MT range from Yamaha. [8] The crossplane engine is based on the 2015 YZF-R1 but re-tuned to focus on low to mid-range torque. It features a number of significant technical changes including newly designed intake, exhaust and fueling systems. [9] It produces a claimed 118 kW (158.2 hp; 160.4 PS) @ 11,500 rpm and 111 N⋅m (82 lbf⋅ft) @ 9,000 rpm. [4] It replaced the fourteen-year old FZ1 as the flagship bike in Yamaha's sport naked range.

The bike had non-functional V-Max-like air scoops [10] from 2016 until 2021; however, with the 2022 redesign, they became functional ram-air scoops. [11]

In October 2016, Yamaha released the MT-10 SP (for Europe only), which includes some upgrades such as Öhlins electronic racing suspension derived from the YZF-R1M, full-colour TFT LCD instrument panel, and an exclusive color scheme. [12] For 2018, the bike is now designated MT-10 in all markets. [2]

Shun Miyazawa said buyers are moving away from the supersport bikes, adding, "(Yamaha) aim to create an older and younger brother and cousins (to the MT-09) - maybe the same capacity, but a slightly different concept". [13] This was translated into the creation of the MT-07 (FZ-07 in North America), the XSR700, the XSR900 and the MT-10 (FZ-10 in North America). The MT-10 is using the same engine from R1, albeit detuned from the factory.
