Congratulations on the new ride! I too went from a 2012 FZ1 to a -10 back in July,and no regrets so far,i love the -10. The Fz1 is a great ride,but the -10 just does everything better,besides the horrible fuel mileage.

There you go $12,999.00 for you guys in the US.
I like how they gave it different names for the colours.
So that's it for me,that road test i did ended up doing its job... I just couldn't resist anymore,i love my FZ1 and will really miss it, but the FZ-10 and what it offers is just so much better.
Taking delivery in june...:Rockon:
Negative on the buffeting,also felt much quieter... I felt the airflow management was much better than my FZ1S, of wich I tried many different windscreen options.
So... I went road testing the FZ-10 two days ago(along with an FJ-09). That engine is nothing short of spectacular,keeps on pulling throughout the revband. On the highway its also more comfortable than my bikini faired FZ1,no buffeting wich actually makes the ride quieter in regards to wind...
It was at the Montreal moto show this weekend,the Yamaha rep told me that they will announce the price in may and that some units will be showing up in dealerships sometime in june,and will be sold as 2017 model year.
I wasnt sure with the looks,but after looking at it multipe times this evening...I really like it,especially after seeing the black one.
Yamaha,if you read this,please bring it to North America... I want it!
Race direction has decided...3 penalty points and will start at the back of the grid in Valencia. So bye bye championship! I am very disappointed with Rossi's move and with the outcome of the championship of what have been such a great season so far IMO.
I just looked and found the install instructions for the damper wich i kept... I also just scan them in PDF, give me your email adress and i will send you the instructions.
Check on Ebay for an R1 shock... I found mine on there from an 08 R1 that had only 2000 miles on it, condition was like brand new and paid only 70$ for it. Best mod ever for the money, literally transformed the bike
For rain and during snow season,and family get around car, i drive a 2008 GLI with a DSG transmission,the scirocco next to it use to be my fun thing but finaly sold it to my brother after many years of him bugging me for it...(wich is kinda cool because i still toy around with it once in a while)
