I think you could find a '15 S1000r around the 12k mark without too much trouble.
Im jelly, those are the dream bikes for me
mt 10 or bust
Fair market value of a used 2014 Yamaha YZF-R1 or Honda CBR1000RR with 5k - 15k km
- Thread starter roadrash
- Start date
mt 10 or bust
I'm proudly team blue, fun story:
I rocked my Team Yamaha polo at the bike show and was showing my friends the 18' MT09. Shortly after a couple came up, the wife sat on it and looked at me. She started asking me a handful of questions and i only answered because i own the '17. I then realized they thought i worked there! So i simply said i'm an owner and would be happy to give my thoughts from that POV only. They asked a bunch more then took a few pics then went to get a brochure and make a deal. I want to contact Yamaha and get 1% sales commission
I think the MT10 looks beastly, but the BMW is calling to me big time. Not only the looks but it has all the tech and gadgets. Also, i'm really, really a fan of analog tachs. I would buy an older Tuono just for that reason.

The MT10 rides great, but the looks are too big of a turn off for me.

2 things i dont buy for looks. Gear, and motorcycles.
I spend 90% of the time riding it, doesnt really matter what it looks like

I haven't gotten a chance to ride it yet, but apparently the mt-10 is the more fun bike
the bmw being similar to the traditional sport bikes, needing more revs etc etc

I'll be checking them all out for sure.
So i went looking at MT10 content again, does sound fantastic! Then i went to Yamaha Canada website and it's listed at over $16k!!!!! That's about the same price as a Tuono RR. Whereas the BMW S1000r comes in at $15 before packages.
Going to be a tight race for sure

Hate to say it, but I think I'd just keep the fz9. I like it more than the 10 personally. Having said that, I haven't ridden the 10.

For $6,200 more id agree. In the U.S. it's only $4 more than the FZ9.

OP should try going to Two Wheel Motorsport in Guelph. They carry both Yamaha and Aprilia (as well as Suzuki and Kawasaki and more). He might be able to wrangle a test ride on both the Tuono and MT10.
In my experience they aren't "snobby" in the least.

+1 on two wheel, they are very nice to deal with, let me take the z900 for a spin, no issues(might have been because i bought gear from them)

so I guess the M10 has the same engine as R1
with different tuning?
I agree that I'd stay with the triple
over a similar bike with the I4
especially for a butt load more $$
40% different parts, but yes its a retuned R1 engine.
Two thumbs up for Two wheels in Guelph. I got my Tuono Factory from them last year and they have been great to deal with. Fast service, aftermarket parts arrive quickly and they always return my phone call. They even sent me picture of the unboxing...

Yep.
Since all the hyper/super nakeds are around the same price point, the Tuono looks like a no brainer.
