Member Contributer windyrun Posted August 5, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 5, 2016 I know its a sporty naked bike and an inline 4 but it does sound like a V4 with lots of mid-range grunt and has panniers as an option as well as a comfort seat that looks worthy of a passenger. It also has LED headlights like the 8th gen :) So ... I was wondering if anyone has tried one and if so why their thoughts were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RobF Posted August 5, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 5, 2016 This bike has definitely caught the eye of at least a few of the VFRD crew. Dutchy and a couple others had some early thoughts here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/topic/83773-2017-yamaha-fz-10-will-be-available-in-the-usa-later-this-month [Corrected the link after some difficulties pasting same] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer maxredline Posted August 9, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yes I think the Z10 could be a nice relacement (though the FJ-09 might be better). Possitives would be more power, better handling, brakes with modern styling. Conns that I can think of would be more expensive to insure, gas milage, rear seat is small, and wind protection. knowing that all motorcycles are a compromize I still have not found one better for me than the 2001 VFR. Having said that a second bike would be nice also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
