Just picked up a new FZ10 yesterday. The deal was too good to pass up. Only got 12 miles on it, literally just rode home from the dealer. I live in Southern California, so plenty of ride time ahead.

I have been riding a long time (35+ years), and had a lot of bikes from motocross, to cruisers, to sportbikes. I had a 1st Gen FZ1 and several R1's, including a cross plane crank year, so quite familiar with Yamaha.

Ready to start making it mine, already have a few things on order!

Welcome to the forum!

Congrats, if you haven't done so yet really shop around for insurance. For whatever reason companies are all over the board on the FZ-10

Congratulations!

What did you order already?

Thanks for the welcome. So far I have deleted the rear pegs and installed a Vagabond tail tidy, ASV shorty levers, Yamaha comfort seat, swing arm spools for my Pit Bull stand and a red carbon fiber license plate frame.

Still trying to decide on a screen, leaning toward a Givi sport. Next purchase will be bar end mirrors so I can see something other than my armpits, and a new lid. My Shoei X-eleven has seen better days, and AGV ti-tech padding is thrashed.

Thats awesome and welcome to the forum. You sure were lucky to find a comfort seat in stock, I've had one on order for 2 months supposedly waiting for it to get here from japan.

I had no problem at all. Got it from eBay, new in the box and quite a bit less than MSRP.

I've had motorcycle insurance for 20+ years so my rates are fairly steady. I was told a few years back that a lot of insurance companies don't want to insure bikes so offer an outrageous price to deter you. I got quoted a rate in a Hayabusa one time that was more that the cos
t on the bike new.
