I rode that exact FZ10 during Biketoberfest on Sunday. I thought that was my test ride, except it was in Beast mode the whole time. It wheeled on me too, scared the shit out of me. I've owned 3 ZX-14s, and this thing scares me. It is so fast and smooth. I bought one a week later...
Bought one a few days ago and this thing is scary powerful. Had it in Standard, Traction control 1 on the highway the day I bought it and hit the throttle half way and it snapped my body back. Straight had my heart about to burst out my chest. Have a rod in the garage and its not even comparable in power.
I loved the fz10 on my demo ride, great sound, nice feel, comfy, everything pretty much the way it should be. I really liked the motor from the fz09 on the XSR900 but I could feel where they cheaped out to keep the price down.
I tried this same bike at Daytona, I personally did not like Yamaha's route or the bike...haha. I was able to test out the GSXR 600, and the leader allowed us to really ride open them up and take a few nice sweepers. the GSXR 600 was more fun for me. I ride a Ninja 1000 from day to day.
Mt07 test ride? Would love to how that would be as a first bike so then I could later upgrade to a Harley streetfighter. I also really like the Indian scout Bobber

Just bought a 2nd bike today... Went with the 2017 FZ-10. It's such a torque monster! I love it
Definitely leaning towards a naked as a second bike and this is on my list. Nice vid!
Glad you enjoyed the vid! Awesome bike, like I said if I had the expendable income I'd want one to try and tame it, haha
Nice review. I have a 2008 FZ1 and will never sell it. For the reasons you experienced. So much fun and nimble.
That bike is sick, thanks Blockhead!
Thanks for watching!

Cheers blockhead wicked test ride , got to say that bike makes you want to own one 😃👍
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed! Yeah it's a pretty awesome bike, so much power! Would take a bit of learning!
Upgrade already?. Called the MT10 in the rest of the world. Mint bike all round
Nice video! But those mirrors are killin me lol.
Yeah the mirrors would have to go, haha
How do you guys recommend going to fz10 from 08 r1? I never rode fz10 myself but i heard a lot of good things.

Dat wheelie doe!!!!
Will you do a review of the Kawasaki H2?
Mal Reynolds Why not?! Danny from "Do it with Dan" test rode a Ninja H2 and then bought one for himself. It was that good.
Mal Reynolds A Blockhead style review of it would be kickass, i guess... A Harley V-Rod review would also be pretty cool.
lol, I don't think there's anywhere out there that has H2's on demo. If there were, I'd try it out, but very, very, very carefully!

aahhhhh yes i that was the day BLOCK had to run back to the hotel to change the tighty whities LOLOL
lol! Who wears tighty whities anymore?!
Lol nearly stacked it mate 😂. Stay in standard mode buddy
Google translate doesn't work for this "stacked it" term you speak of. Learn English bruh, damn!
@@BlockheadMotocheck it up on urban dictionary mate. XD
Great video
That wheely tho... I skid marked :-)
Question, what was the bike infront of you at the end?
xsr 900 its a retro version on an fz 09
Shinigami Biker cheers mate!
Was quite the surprising wheelie!
BTW you don't need to be stopped for the mode, you just need to close the throttle my man.
Copy that! Noted for next time :)
Crazy bro glad you didn’t eat it. Did you test ride the blue bike your friend was riding? I like the style of that one also.
Glad I didn't eat it also, haha. Nah after we did this test ride, Yamaha got booked up for the rest of the day. The lines were crazy for Yamaha!
i always wanted to know what differences there were between the MT10 and the FZ10. is the difference just in the regional spec for the emissions?
its just the naming convention. 2018/2019 it will be the MT-10 in the USA as well. hopefully the MT-10SP will make it here with the name change too.
Good lookin out Nicodemus!
only downside on the fz10 is the gas mileage. 30 mpg is kinda sad for a motorcycle.
Own one. Love it!
Great looking bike
5:34 yeahhh baby!!
Honda NM4 please. If they have it for Demo.
Have a friend who owns this bike. I'll have to add it to the list!
The FZ10 is what you get when an R1 and a FZ09 have a baby.
thanks.
R1 + FZ09 = beast!
Dear God do you even sleep man? It's 3 in the morning where I'm at
I do sleep! The videos are scheduled for 3am :)
BLOCKHEAD bro why it's torture for the rest of us who try being early
lol, 3am so it's ready for the East Coasters when waking up (or staying up late,) but shows up at 12am for the West Coasters. Meets in the middle!
BLOCKHEAD could you release one at nine then? That would be twelve for us Ohio people
After r3 would u recommend this or mt-07
mt07 is my first bike so yeah
To change modes, you just have to be off throttle
Noted for next time I ride an FZ!
I would probably trade my 07 Sportster 1200 low and 23 Triumph Trident 660 for a nice 17 FZ10
Rockheadddddd 🤘 oh wait.. 😉
Glockheaaaaad! I mean...
BLOCKHEAD I got a reply, awesome 🤘 love the vids bro, pce
lol !
awsome vlog !
tk u
Was this the birth place of your desire to get a grom and learn how to wheelie?
Got one
Were you wearing you're brown pants that day good sir?
haha! hooligan!
Not on purpose! haha
