2017 Yamaha FZ-10

Description

The 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 is the U.S.-market name for Yamaha’s MT-10 hyper naked, bringing Crossplane Crankshaft Concept (CP4) hardware from the then-current YZF-R1 into a streetfighter package. After earlier FZ1-era standards used older superbike DNA, this model closed the gap with a retuned R1-based engine, aluminum Deltabox main frame, and the aggressive dual-LED “robot eye” face that defined the first-generation FZ-10/MT-10. Its 998 cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline-four is mapped for stronger low- and mid-range response than the track-focused R1, with Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), three D-Mode ride maps, three-level traction control, electronic cruise control, and a six-speed gearbox with an assist-and-slipper clutch. Fully adjustable KYB inverted forks and a KYB piggyback rear shock support radial-mount four-piston front calipers on dual 320 mm discs plus a 220 mm rear disc, all with ABS, on a claimed 463 lb wet curb weight. Against contemporary liter nakeds such as the Kawasaki Z1000, Suzuki GSX-S1000, and BMW S 1000 R, the FZ-10 stood out for its crossplane soundtrack, R1-derived chassis feel, and midrange-biased power delivery with cruise control rarely standard in that class. This Matte Raven Black example shows factory red front disc carriers for that colorway and a clear aftermarket touring windscreen taller than the stock flyscreen; condition is otherwise unverified beyond the listing mileage.
