I have been riding FZ1S for 7 years and I've also ridden the GSX-S1000 (naked) and the MT09/FZ09. Like others have said, the FZ1S is a superb sports tourer that has good handling, is fairly light, and has more than enough power for the twisties. The motor in the GSX-S1000 is a peach, although...

Yes, that's right, I wait until the warning light then make sure I fill up in about 20kms. The FZ1S would go to about 240kms before it started flashing on empty, the MT10 starts flashing on empty around 180kms. Currently getting 7.42l per 100kms on the MT10 (in the ball park of your figures...

My FZ10/MT10 is in for it's first service this week, and I am absolutely loving the bike. Only negative for me is the fuel range, 200kms before fill ups v 260kms for my FZ1S. Have also ridden in the dark now and I needn't have worried about it only having the single light on a dipped beam, it...

My 2009 FZ1S was modded, full system, power commander, airbox, etc, but I kept my 2012 FZ1S completely stock as far as the engine goes. The MT10 is wayyyyy faster than both. Take one for a test ride and you will just have to get one like me...that cross plane engine, it's just phenomenal :-)...

Traded my 2012 FZ1S for an MT10 last week. Quick review: Pros: The engine is just phenomenal. It just pulls in every gear and sounds fantastic, even with the stock pipe. With all the electronic wizardry it really makes the FZ1 look like an antique. Traction control, slipper clutch, ABS and...

Here's me heading out for another spin :-)

Picked up my MT10 today :-) Will try and get some K's on it tomorrowand post a review but just the ride home from the dealer's left me grinning like a Cheshire cat :-)

I love it, but it is certainly dividing opinions on the looks front ;-)

Australia price is $17,999 plus drive away costs, so $19,490 in Victoria. I got mine for $19k ride away :-)

Just traded my 2012 FZ1S for an MT10. Delivery late this week hopefully :-)

Had my FZ1S from new (Apr 2013) and just clocked over 30,000 kms, so about 10k a year. Commute on dry days 40 kms each way, weekend rides and at least one bike trip a year of 1000 kms +. Previous bike was a 2009 FZ1S and did 38,000 kms in 4 years :-)

Yamaha can have my deposit now. Launch in May 16...I'll be getting one :-)

I have one of these on my 2012 FZ1 in Oz and can confirm they are an excellent seat. Did a 1200km weekend trip last year and doing the same in 2 weeks...would have been crippled had I been on the stock seat. Good luck with the sale mate :-)

Just back from taking the GSX-S1000 naked out for a spin...I can confirm the bike is bloody awesome!!! I had a 2008 FZ1S for 4 years which I heavily modded and in 2013 traded it in for a white 2012 FZ1S as at the time there was nothing that did the job as well as the FZ1. Since then I have...
