Engine architecture
Inline four throughout
Every bike on this page is an R1-derived inline four. The 2016 MT-10 introduced the cross-plane CP4 motor (270-180-90-180 firing order, V-twin character from a four). Modern MT-10 keeps the CP4; nothing has changed about the fundamental layout for 30 years.
パワー増加
+20bhp
145bhp FZS1000 → 165bhp MT-10 SP. 14% more horsepower across 25 years from the same 998cc capacity. Most of the gain came from the cross-plane CP4 motor in 2016.
What the cross-plane crank does
V-twin character
The MT-10 CP4 engine has a 270-180-90-180 firing order — uneven, like a V-twin. This gives it tractor-like low-end torque despite being an inline four. Borrowed from MotoGP M1 and the R1; only Yamaha makes a cross-plane production four.
実質価格変化
+£2.8k
FZS1000 was £7,500 in 2001 (£15,000 today). MT-10 SP is £17,813 — about 19% more in real terms. The MT-10 base model is around £14,800 — almost identical to the FZS1000 in real terms. SP premium for Öhlins suspension and full electronics.
Where the MT-10 sits in MT range
Hyper-naked flagship
The MT-10 is the flagship of the MT range — above the MT-09 (triple) and MT-07 (twin). Yamaha hyper-naked positioned against the BMW S 1000 R and Aprilia Tuono V4. Sub-£18k for the SP makes it one of the cheapest semi-active hyper-nakeds.

最安の入口
£2.5k
A clean FZS1000 Fazer from 2001-2005. R1-derived motor, half-fairing, comfortable ergonomics, hugely capable. Probably the most underpriced 90s-era hyper-naked predecessor on the UK used market.
