My dealer claims to not know anything, but suggested 2027 could be a year for a refresh due to historical colorway changes. Then said October is when they usually get shipments, but October has come and gone, no news.

Anyone know anything? I read an article theorizing that because of new European emissions standards in effect, Yamaha would be changing things worldwide. At least for the mt-10 since they apparently pulled the R1 out of euro market for not being compliant? Changes to the mt-10 for efficiency purposes may not be the kind of changes people like if there's other sacrifices

Asking since I wanted to get one but if I'm right around the corner from a new model year, I'll wait and see what's new!

Also, why release a new model at the end of the riding year (for half the country: US BTW)?
