Brutish Naked Motorbikes

The Yamaha MT-10's Naked Body Looks Unabashedly Nasty

— November 17, 2015 — Autos
The Yamaha MT-10 is a new motorbike that features a gnarly, naked design that appears to be Yamaha's way of throwing down the gauntlet to competitor naked bikes such as the BMW S1000R and the Aprilia Tuonom.

While many superbikes boast aerodynamic plastic sheathing that give them a very slick and visually aerodynamic design, the Yamaha MT-10 doesn't care for that. This is a bike whose performance specs are brutal (3-level traction control and a 998-cc engine), and that wants the world to know just that.

Ultimately, the Yamaha MT-10 is an indicator of a growing tendency in the auto industry to sacrifice pretty and sleek styling in favor of a more brutal appearance that pays homage to the underlying performance attributes.

Trend Themes
1. Brutal Design - The trend of favoring brutal, naked designs over sleek and visually aerodynamic ones in the auto industry creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing high-performance motorbikes.
2. Performance-driven Specs - The trend of emphasizing performance attributes, such as advanced traction control and powerful engines, in motorbike design opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for creating new performance-focused features and technologies.
3. Challenging Competitors - The trend of throwing down the gauntlet to competitors in the naked bike market, like BMW and Aprilia, encourages disruptive innovation in developing unique selling points and competitive advantages.
Industry Implications
1. Motorbikes - The motorbike industry can embrace disruptive innovation by exploring brutal design concepts and performance-driven technologies to create standout products in the market.
2. Automotive Manufacturing - The automotive manufacturing industry has opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing production techniques and materials that facilitate the creation of brutal, high-performance designs.
3. Sporting Goods - The sporting goods industry can tap into the trend of performance-driven motorbike design by creating innovative gear and accessories that complement the brutal aesthetics and enhance the riding experience.
