All 12- 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 8 minutes ago, Dutchy Yeah I noticed that, but imho a cruise control on this hooligan is just stupid. You will NOT cruise on this bike... And this MT-10 is NOT for new riders, believe you me... I certainly do agree with…
- 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month It has a REAL cruise control as a standard option!!!!
- Rostra Cruise Control I've used a number of different throttle locks, palm rests and other sorts of devices to hold speed and give my wrist a rest. I fear I may have to go through carpel tunnel surgery eventually ... but I digress.…
- Hard Bag Insert Sticker I was able to get replacements for my bags from David Silver Spares www.davidsilverspares.com. But they couldn't get the US version that says "Interceptor". They were only able to get the European version that says…
- Radians custom ear plugs (self-made)... I tried a similar product purchased at Gander Mountain for a similar price. I thought they worked really well and were easy to make. However, it seems that when I put my helmet on, my ear was pressed into a slightly…
- How long do you stay in the saddle? I'm 36, 5'8" and don't work out at all (except for the common 12 oz curls). Beginning of the season I'm good for an hour ride. But start to get sore anything beyond that. But mid season I can go until I fill up for gas…

- Soft Luggage & Exhaust Heat All very good points. I'm headed down to my local autoparts store after work to see what they have available.
- Soft Luggage & Exhaust Heat Here's what I've got ... Gen 6 w/ stock exhaust (2006 model) and a set of Cortech soft saddlebags. I haven't ridden with the bags yet. But I'm concerned about the heat of the exhaust pipes and the fact that the bags…
- Looking for advice I'd say the price is about right for a dealer, but not for a private sale. The seller should be prepared to negotiate. I just picked up my 2006 a few weeks ago for $6500 at a dealer. It has 6k miles on it and is bone…
- What did you own before your 6th Gen? 1978 Yamaha 100 Enduro - first bike - off-road 1985 Honda Nighthawk S - first bike w/ driver's license & lost license with it, will never forget this bike 1988 Yamaha FZ600 - first crotch rocket ........ still the…
