Hopefully if it is the mt10 they can put a 23l tank on it, it'll be perfect

An MT-10 with luggage and a 200 mile+ range would be very interesting. If it does go-ahead then let's hope they don't do the standard thing of reducing the output and softening suspension just because they've added panniers and a larger tank!

I do hope they wouldn't do that, but you're right , normally they dum down the engine and suspension which I hate, the mt is such a great bike to do decent mileage, let down by tank range imo

Has it only been trademarked in the US though?

More. Tank range would be ideal.

Only for Europe according to the article. Personally I'm not sure where this would slot in the range, but I look forward to seeing it.

A competitor for BMW's s1000xr I assume, using the MT10 engine.

The bike Yamaha said they'll never do if that's an MT10 Tracer. Cheeky buggers.
