Hi from the lone star state. Looking at getting a 2018 fz10 if yamaha releases a color I like. I started out on a 2002 Suzuki bandit 600s and rode it for 11yrs and then traded it in and got myself 2013 pearl white yamaha raider with has been an awesome bad ass power cruiser. I have made it my own which as of now will never part with it. Also have a 2004 Suzuki katana 600 that I want to sell and replace it with the FZ10. Hopefully after yamaha releases the new models in June ill will be getting me an awesome FZ10

Welcome Clayton, you'll be amazed if you decide on the FZ-10, truly one of those bikes that you always wanted in your imagination.

Welcome to the forums! Which color are you looking for ?

Clayton · Apr 28, 2017

Would like to see a red and sliver one. Silver wheels and swingarm and the motor silver or bronze in color. Don't care for the blacked out motor and wheels. Gray and lime green didn't work for me either. Pearl white and silver would be awesome. That would match my 2013 pearl white yamaha raider.

If I can add something, don't wait for a color that you really want. I didn't like my grey/lime green wheels at first but it has completely grown on me and I couldn't care about the color now after riding it for two months.

It really could be purple with yellow polka dots and I wouldn't care. Truly one of the most amazing motorcycles I've owned since 1974.

If it really is a deal breaker consider a customer paint job but that likely would be pricey.

I really don't think they'll be coming out with an FZ in that color scheme unfortunately.

I would definitely grab one, and make all of those changes yourself progressively?

Just another month to go till yamaha releases the 2018's

If anything I am guessing the 2018 will offer blue as the one earlier available in the European market. It is a nice color though.

Just sold my 2014 Raider. On my fifth FZ1. Err, now it's a FZ10. Had two Roadstars, Two Warriors,one v star 650, one v star 1100, one Stryker, one Roadliner S. But I'm back on a naked bike again. No more cruisers for me. Our of my 30 bikes since 1973, this has been the best so far. But yes I get had mileage like my old three cylinder Kawasaki two strokes and my 09 R1 I had. Welcome aboard.

I was going to wait for the 2018's, but then the sun came out, and I couldn't hold off any more. LOL
