2017 Yamaha FZ-10 First Ride Review

When it comes to liter-class streetfighters, Europe's been putting the Japanese contenders to shame. Granted, with the KTM 1290 Super Duke R, BMW S1000R, and Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 ruling the roost, this is a tough nut to crack. However, leave it to the tuning fork brand to bring an answer: the 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 (or MT-10 for our Euro viewers). Sharing the awesome Crossplane crankshaft engine from the current R1, Yamaha has made some changes to bring the power back to the midrange, where street riders use it most. Frame and suspension remain the same, and although the hi-tech IMU on the R1 isn't here, the FZ-10 isn't hurting in the tech department. Yamaha brought Motorcycle.com's Troy Siahaan out to the (in)famous Tail of the Dragon on the North Carolina/Tennessee border to put the bike to the test. What does he think of it?

I just happen to like styling that has a "forward flow" to it, rather than looking like something from "Transformer" movie.

The brakes are better than The Triumph Triple R/S.13, three bike length better from 100 miles an hour, nearly the same as the BMW S1000RVS and 5 to 6 bike length on the 1290 Superduke. I'm so impressed with this bike I just lad the cash down and pick it up next week. The upright riding position and simple modes made it easy to ride. Getting off the bike was so easy in a corner and then power out , up the front wheel would come, a little crossed up until it straightened and that engine makes a very nice growl.

@paulsuckley8184 6 лет назад

@jboy2621 8 лет назад

I'm so glad Japanese makers are going the Harley route. It's not about creating brand new bikes from scratch all the time. It's about taking perfect bikes and creating different iterations for riders. This way parts remain the same and maintenance is universal. Plus the FZ/MT and their new XSR are genius. I hope they take the Bolt motor and create a Buell like naked v-twin bike.

@BucketWheat 7 лет назад

"The Dragon" and the myriad of roads around that area is a "Candyland" of riding!! I live about 2 hours south of 'The Dragon' and PLAY in the Smokies and Blue Ridge Mountains of North GA and western North Carolina FREQUENTLY!! [And with Road Atlanta and even Barber within easy access, I also get in a few Track Days.] I currently have an FZ1 -- with a PC5, full Yoshi, K&N with modified EFI butterflies, and braided brake lines. And I WANT this new FZ-10!! Yes, I will Definitely change the brake lines and pads, and add a small to medium clear windscreen for all the road time I ride. [ I am spoiled' by the added comfort, and I think it 'adds' as much in smoother airflow as it might take away in 'frontal area'. ]

MHO.... Riding is all about Torque than bhp. I have the feeling that in the U.S. Hbp is overrated and Torque underrated. In Europe the Naked market is very populair since the '80s mid '90's and still is. Glad you discover the potentional of a Naked overseas in the U.S.. IMHO better than supersports. With a naked you got the comfort, the torque, the sexy looks and don't forget they also got bhp and the speed. All in all practicality.

@DoubleYouPee1 8 лет назад

Odd how the GSXS1000 was brushed aside yet this bike is a contender against the Tuono, Beemer and KTM. The GSXS pulls from 2K rpm in 6th, gets damn near 49 mpg and costs nearly 3K less.

@kevinmarsh9847 8 лет назад

Brilliant, absolutely love it and would like to buy it...but they have done a VFR1200! 17ltr fuel tank! Catalogue has loads of extras to help you go the distance, well that means more than 120 before having to fuel up. Arrgh.

@olderwiser2080 7 лет назад

Yamaha has trademarked the moniker "Tracer GT" in Europe as of 4/17. In Europe, this bike is the MT10...and one owner there deftly coined it the "Empty 10" due to the short (~135 miles) fuel range. You can try touring on that in the US, but you'd better fill your luggage with fuel bottles. Sold my FZ09, but enjoying my 17 FJ09 (~200 mile fuel range) quite a bit, especially with the Ohlins suspension I just installed. I am interested in something like an FJ10. Fill those fake scoops on the tank with gas, add a more comfy seat, keep the sporty suspension, throw in some red, white and blue paint choices (skip the blurple and dayglo wheels, please), maybe dial back (at least shorten) the bug beak, and you will have another winner. :)

@sloguyty5915 6 лет назад

Older&Wiser I mean you could try to fill the scoops with gas, but it's got a good portion of fuses and electronics tucked in there. I got 42 calculated mpg when I was going 80 with cruise control for a 12 hour ride.

@pavanmasurkar 8 лет назад

i have 1 question why 1 light of nearly every super bike remains on? why we cant turn it off?

@jbdoggy 7 лет назад

Its the law where i come from too. And you will be fined and have demerit points to your license if you dont comply. But my question is why just 1 light on nowadays (instead of 2). My current bike is an old 90s bike. And whether its headlights or highbeams, its still 2 lights on. No 1 eyed jack kinda thing. 2 lights on is also aesthetically more pleasing as well as symmetrical. There is also a light switch so you can turn the lights on or off. I rode my friends newer more modern bike at night once & found that 1 light on just doesnt cut it. I had better visibility on my bike due to 2 lights on. W/o highbeams too. Ive decided that once i get my full license, Im gonna mod my bike so that it will always have 2 lights on be it headlights or highbeams. No one eyed jack case. Its damn fugly.

@PatKittle 8 лет назад

Great bike like all Yamahas, but the 1/4 fairing on the old FZ1 was a heck of a lot easier to clean that this! Someday motorcycle styling will go back to smooth-&-flowing, and I for one look forward to that. BTW, copper is a beautiful color for motor vehicles.

@GIGABACHI 8 лет назад

I guess it's a fact by now: The thing it's got crappy brakes, said by a few now. Heard one with a muffler...sounds as awesome as all crossplane I-4s. I can only imagine it will get better with a full system. 😁

@Smoove233 8 лет назад

Love how every year since as far back as maybe 1992 they say it's the same motor except for everything inside the motor and the amount of power and how the power is delivered. Yeah my grandmas Buick has a v6 and so do some Indy cars. Same motor? Look guys buy a motorcycle for the riding position the size motor the color and the type for where you want to ride. Then think about how much it costs to fix and how many shops there are with parts for it. Other than that most bikes in the same class are gonna be about the same in EVERYTHING else.

@MrVtwinTorque 8 лет назад

Nice review, but unless I missed it, I saw nothing regarding the optional quickshifter in the video, and in fact the associated article that was referenced said that "Despite the fact it’s not equipped with a quickshifter, if you didn’t need to breathe the throttle to upshift, you’d never know." I heard repeatedly that a quickshifter is being offered as an option. Is this inaccurate?

@dtbrown1978 8 лет назад

quick shifter is an option for the European mt10 but the catalog for the fz10 is not showing it yet. But I priced it out with a conversion of euros to dollars and it came around $300.

@miachong1498 8 лет назад

Your dealership should be able to get it for you. I asked my dealer and they were able to order it for me, among other things. Get the comfort seat!

@TroySiahaan 8 лет назад

Unlike the R1, the FZ-10 does not have a quickshifter in stock form, and one wasn't mentioned as an option during our briefing. But seeing as how the European market got the MT-10 first, and now are getting quickshifters as an option, expect to see Yamaha US follow suit.

@MrVtwinTorque 8 лет назад

Thank you all for the quickshifter commentary.
