Thanks! But I am suspicious this bike is not greater than the sum of its pedestrian parts. Nothing here makes me want to trade in my SV650 for it.
I wish Suzuki well, but wouldn’t bet this bike will become a standout.

Been up by the Iron Man Statue literally 100’s of times, both on the bike and not. There is a great bicycle trail going out of Chisholm as well. Great article in a rather unknown region for most people. Beautiful riding country. Thanks!

You just missed one of the best rides in Minnesota(if you like scraping the pegs) hwy 1 from Ely to Silver Bay.

Comment on 2023 Yamaha MT-10 | Tour Test Review by Rider Magazine https://ridermagazine.com/2023/04/04/2023-yamaha-mt-10-tour-test-review/#comment-1430842 Tue, 18 Apr 2023 16:20:43 +0000 https://ridermagazine.com/?p=72312#comment-1430842 In reply to Nathan Wiley.

Pure coincidence. We record actual fuel economy by zeroing our tripmeter and recording the mileage and gallons at every fill-up. For the MT-10 test, we recorded 20 fill-ups and averaged 36 mpg. Our high was 42.1 mpg on one fill-up, and our low was 32.7 mpg. With a 4.5-gallon tank, the estimated range based on our recorded fuel economy is 162 miles. It’s right there in the spec chart, so we didn’t feel the need to repeat that information in the review.

Here’s the actual fuel data we recorded:
DATE FUEL MILES MPG
01/19/23 2.946 97.9 33.2
01/19/23 3.326 111.2 33.4
01/30/23 3.220 106.9 33.2
01/30/23 2.263 77.4 34.2
02/14/23 2.247 79.5 35.4
02/14/23 3.095 111.2 35.9
02/14/23 2.862 94.3 32.9
02/14/23 2.848 106.0 37.2
02/14/23 1.813 64.6 35.6
02/17/23 3.349 123.7 36.9
02/18/23 3.514 143.1 40.7
02/18/23 3.785 138.1 36.5
02/20/23 2.973 120.1 40.4
02/20/23 2.306 86.0 37.3
02/20/23 3.118 114.5 36.7
02/20/23 3.063 128.9 42.1
03/08/23 3.401 103.9 30.5
03/24/23 3.323 108.5 32.7
03/24/23 3.945 131.5 33.3
04/10/23 3.131 112.9 36.1
TOTAL 60.528 2160.2 35.7

So you averaged exactly what Yamaha lists in their specs over the length of your trip and got exactly the tank range listed in their specs? OK.
