2017 Yamaha FZ-10 First Ride Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- 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'm currently Jonesing for a a super naked and this one is the most affordable by far! Yamaha has been killing it with what I view as super high value bikes. Reliable, good pricing and European looks without being finicky.
TRANSFORMERS....MORE than meets the eye!
wow
well hello there...
*Hey guys I found waldo!!*
--I mean CycleCruza
Lame!
Yeah, you got that right and the front end is diffidently from Transformers! If they change the front it will be a better looking bike and will sell more. That front end is holding the bike back in my opinion!
Cruzaaa!
Can I just say I love your guy's video content. It doesn't feel scripted or like you're reading off a prompt. It always feels genuine and kind of like a conversation.
Thanks. Honest, conversational videos are what we go for. We don't always get it right, but we try!
I have owned many bikes over the years but the MT10 has given me some amazing rides and experiences. Last weekend to the Bol Dor and back 1100 kms each way so 4 days riding and wow she is fun and fast! That CP4 engine is a legend.
This is what you get when the Autobots have sex.
😂👍
IJIGA BACHI
it's a deceptacon
This is awesome! We were there and saw you guys on the dragon on July 19th haha! Awesome review!
SALTxTHExWOUND wt upz SALT!!!
This thing sounds like a V-Twin, LUV it.... One of my all time favorite bikes is a FZ-1that I rode at the Freddie Spencer Race School in Las Vegas years ago.
I love how the reviewer make it seem like Japanese motorcycle makers are the ones trying to keep up with other makers... LOL
@John Smith overrated cheap junk
Standard, Alright, and Bonkers. I don't see what is so confusing about the new riding mode system.
*assuming "alright" like Quagmire says it.
They are complaining because the FZ-09 is power mode is A and the FZ-10 power mode is B!
Maybe B mode stands for BADASS MODE!!! XD
Taijean Moodie Beast Mode!
B mode = Brutal
Next year I'm upgrading from my MT-07 to this beast.
Did you do it?!
@@Arckabis guess not lol
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.
had one, been there, & don't forget to say if you want fun on it your get less then 85 miles to the tank. guzzzels. (s1000r faster, 50 more to the tank.)
Wow, sounds like a great bike. I have an '01 FZ1 and love the R1 engine. This sounds like a couple adaptations beyond that.
"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'. ]
That bridge was cool, nice pic for the shooting location
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.
Yamaha seems to totally knocked it out the park with this one. 👏🏽
am i the only one thinking this bike looks exactly like bumble bee...
Nope!
Yeah... I Love the Bike, but HATE the jig-saw puzzle of body-work...
go back to riding lame ass Harley's then.
Why the nasty remarks??
I have never owned a Harley, and currently own a 'tweaked' FZ1..!
I SAID that I love the bike, but do I have no right to my own opinion on the styling?
I just happen to like styling that has a "forward flow" to it, rather than looking like something from "Transformer" movie.
+Floyd Burdett fuck yeah, Floyd! Fuck off, Raymond!
I knew something was going on when I saw like 10 of those bikes go past me on the dragon!
Was that you coming the other way at 4:04? I thought of you when i saw those bikes cause i saw your video.
This will be my next bike for sure. Maybe wait till January though
Good review and video Troy!
Nice work guys. Big fan!
Dear, Yamaha please make a fj10 and bring the fj07 to Canada!
My friend i was amazed by z900 easy to ride but MT 10 is crazy powerful
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. 😁
At least Standard - A - B is now following an order. Maybe P1 - P2 -P3 would have been more clever names.
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.
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.
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.
IMO

Great review.
Ohh warmest greetings from Indonesia to you Troy.
Horas lae.
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. :)
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.
I like it , extra special with crossplane engine.
You cant ompete with Zack Courts backing it in bro. Zacks a smooth criminal on a bike
I am going to buy a Honda grom as my first bike then this and learn the hard way
Can I have your Phone when you leave us?
I'm FZ10 rider.It's powerful monster❗️
He slightly looks like Rob Schneider!
ʝ αℊ⋒αr123987ჯ You can do it!!!
Low budget 😝
Serious riding at the dragon 🐉
Dig the thumbnail at 3:15 too🤙🏽
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.
The riding modes actually make sense now. How is that wonky?
Nice place.....loved it....may I know which location is this???
Gorgeous place
omg that sound😲
Hmmmm... I owned a 2003 FZ-1. Loved that bike and it had great gas mileage and tons of aftermarket. Still in production this year so no plans on killing it so far? It's still a ton cheaper than this new FZ-10 and I think the FZ-1 is a lighter bike. Guess it comes down to preference.
Great to see some other roads besides California for street test!
Love the unique look
great review, nice and balanced
Thanks, you just made me go buy one.
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.
imho..still can't beat the sound of V4
The crossplane crank gives it the same firing sequence as a V4 so it sounds similar.
lol its so close you almost cant call it
marurider
True man the vmax does sound amazing.
My VFR sounds like a small block Chevy when the V-TEC is screaming.....
You said it has the suspension from the R1 but I'm fairly certain it's got lower spec internals, just the same outers
Came close to getting one of these but for me the tank is too small considering the mpg you get. Got a 2016 Kawasaki Versys 1000 much better option for me especially for longer rides. Sure would like the horsepower of the FZ-10 though.
Haha...was that an attempt at backing it in at :41? Thought that was more of a front brake/downshift and maybe a touch of rear brake kinda thing? Either way, nice review.
Of course when the camera is rolling I completely mangle it up! I swear they were proper off camera! Oh well.
+Troy Siahaan Suuure haha, kidding. I'm just jealous that I don't have your job!
Been interested in these Yamahas but with the issues of the fz 09 Im hesitant and probably wont.
Great video!
But will Yamaha bring FZ-10 in Fazer look with a more touring capabilities.Like Ktm did with Super Duke GT.And i hate when only one head light is on.
What about the speed triple ? wich is an amazing bike compares to the others streetfighters !
Great video 🤟
I want one in yellow like the MT-07 from 2015, and that they update the tail to look like the MT-07 aswell.. omg
I think that a Speed Triple is a better proposition and more practical in real life even a Street
Wow nice job great bike
Ride at the dragon yearly, kapan bisa nge-ride bareng bang siahaan?
don't have a dealership to test them myself around where I live. between the fz9(triple) and fz10(i4) does the fz9 feel slimmer and easier reach for shorter riders with narrow waist? looking to leave my 04 zx10r for maybe a brand new sv650 or used monster 696 but still taking suggestions and advice.
as a supermoto rider, please, if you cant back it in properly, keep it to the track and dont attempt that stuff on public roads.
as a hall monitor, please, dont talk in the hallways
Does the 2017 have the quickshifter and autoblipper as well? Looking to get one for my everyday rider
i NEED to go fishing at that dam
You can't leave out the Speed Triple. Might not have the power as some of these bad boys but still can keep up with the best in the twisties.
Or, on an actual road, the STREET Triple will keep up in the twisties.
What about the Ducati Monster 1200R? 160 hp, 100 torques, full Ohlins suspension and damper, forged Marchesini's, Brembo ABS mono-bloc's, color TFT, TC and essence of limpet tires suddenly not good enough anymore?
well it's a ducati, so no.
Hey guys any idea what's the name of the green color shade used on the alloys?
Nice Review
Dream bike!
I´d love to see a shootout including this FZ10, the Superduke, the S1000R, the Tuono V4 and the Ducati Monster 1200R.
Luar biasa..baru tau yamaha fz ada yg mirip ducati..ndeso bener aku😭
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?
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.
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!
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.
Thank you all for the quickshifter commentary.
The European catalog, with a wide variety of desirable items:
www.yamaha-motor.eu/eu/products/motorcycles/hyper-naked/mt-10.aspx?view=accessories&year=2016#/
Why did Yamaha decide not to include the IMU? Are they really that much more expensive?
let me know how tall you are and how much this bike is. Im getting a new one this year.
Since you mentioned touring, any info on fuel mileage compared to R1?
Do you guys think it would be okay to get a fz10 as a second bike? My first bike will be a FZ6R or SV650.
Why the Kawasaki z1000 is not included in any of the streetfighters reviews?
? okay...
The Z1000 is a naked version of the Ninja 1000, which is a sport-touring bike. The Super Duke, Tuono, and S1000R are naked versions of each companies' super bikes.

Don't underestimate the Triumph Speed Triple R....
Those wide bars give you leverage to throw the bike into the turns? WHAT?!!
Asphalt 8 Airborne:
The Yamaha FZ-10 Is a Low-End Class B Motorcycle Added In Fall Out Boy Update
As Of The Fifteenth Anniversary Update The FZ-10 Is a High-End Class C Motorcycle
love to see the side by side between this and the Suzuki offering.
As for where have I been?! Try another country Muppet! The internet is over the world not just America dude!
Were you able to turn the ABS off to do the skids?
Brakes are a deal killer-
Should have put some top Brembo's on .. Yamaha got to the one and went Pete Carroll, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I was very interested in the bike.
Not for 10K plus with shoddy brakes
Yamaha used to do this with their R6 motor. Anyone remember that bike?
I wanna ride this bike SO BAD!
That opening sequence must be what's its like to have ADD...
Beautiful bike. By far the cheapest of the other three bikes he mentions, and I bet it will be the most reliable.
5 years on and turns out you were right! .....I dont suppose you know next weeks U.K. lottery numbers do you? 🤣

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE ALL THE WAY
this guy knows what's what
Right. Even then the Yammie will laugh at it performance wise but come on guys slow is a relative term. My '04 S3 is definitely "slow" but I'd be more apt to get a new machine for suspension and brakes, not power.
Don't underestimate the Triumph Speed Triple R '16.
Oh I know. That bike is definitely fast enough. Tuono is so cool though even if it ain't so pretty. Hell for that matter my bike looks "better" than the new S3 IMO.
Which helmet is that? Looks really good.
It's the new Scorpion EXO AT-950.
+Troy Siahaan Thanks man!
I'm new to the motorbike world. Is this beginner friendly?
I'm converted to the MT-07
Nah, get a Busa
You will be fine
NO, snatch throttle and too much power for a new rider. It’s a mental bike
Ricky Sutherland it’s all about how u ride it. If he just eases into it and puts on one of the more “beginner friendly modes”
Exellent.
i hope it will be available soon in Indonesia
i really love it
My next bike will probably this or the S1000R
What kind of helmet is that with the built in shades that slide down and up?
what you on about, competion bikes with different brake lines, they all come with standard rubber lines from factory, braded lines are not standard on any road bike from new,
Sounds like a Versys to me - (I love my Versys 650)
If you are going to spend 13k, why not spent 2-3 more and just get the good stuff?? Tuono-S1000R?
Nice bike
