Santa Claus goes for a ride on Yamaha's 2022 MT-10 SP naked bike.<br /><br />--<br /><br />The holidays are always crunch time for Santa Claus.

If we were looking for a high-end, liter-class naked, this would be on our shopping list.” This statement sealed the deal for Santa who knows the worth of a dollar. <br /><br />Still, Santa also has caviar tastes—and Yamaha delivers with its MT-10 SP ($16,899).

The seat cover also features a suede-like material with off-white stitching and the swingarm is polished. Aesthetically, this adds up to a much more tasty MT. The chin fairing especially adds a touch of class and makes it more competitive against European naked bikes...<br /><br />Full story here: https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/story/news/santa-claus-rides-yamaha-mt-10-sp-review-2022/<br /><br />Photography: Jeff Allen<br />Video: Adam Waheed<br /><br />Motorcyclist Shirts: https://teespring.com/stores/motorcyclist<br />Shop Products We Use: https://www.amazon.com/shop/motorcyclistmagazine <br /><br />See more from us: http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/<br /><br />We Wish You a Merry Christmas by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/<br /><br />Artist: http://www.twinmusicom.org/
