I meant that it's also nice to see more good beginner bikes on the market and that they're being embraced. But not the MT-10 as a beginner bike. I should have separated those two thoughts into two paragraphs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I had cruise on a bike like that, I would use it. I have ridden GSXR1000's and ZX-10's before in a 45mph zone and look down and I was doing 65 mph. At least around town, the cruise control might help me stay close to the speed limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 2FAST4U Posted June 16, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 16, 2016 According to the European press, the MT-10 puts out 160-165 horses. Tuned just right and with the right rider, a high 9 in the quarter could be possible. It's definitely not for inexperienced riders. I once knew a guy that sold motorcycles and had this young kid show up wanting to buy a CBR. The sales guy advised him it was too powerful for an inexperienced rider and convinced him to buy a VFR instead. The young guy high-sided the VFR as he was leaving the parking lot.
