The FZ-10’s reliability compared to the Euro competitors BMW S1000R and Aprilia Tuono?

The Tuono is worth the extra headache, but man, the FZ 10 is probably more reliable. It’s something special that V4 engine.

The bike and the dealer support are not just mere words. But there’s way more Yamaha dealers around and if something does go wrong it makes a big difference.

I have had an S1000R and an FZ-10. Small issues were more expensive to fix on the BMW, but it actually gave me fewer problems. It's a trade-off.

The truth is that all modern bikes are very reliable if you are looking after them. We’re splitting hairs, but the FZ 10 might have a slight edge.

The FZ-10 is what it is, and that's its strength. Fewer things to go wrong in the long run, fewer fancy electronics. I’ll take that peace of mind any day.

Engine reliability is my suspicion the FZ 10 wins but some of the electrical bits can be a bit flakey. Italian electrics still better than dealing with though!
Is the FZ 10 too much bike for everyday street riding or is it tame enough for an experienced rider?

Not at all! It’s super manageable with the riding modes and traction control. It is like having different bikes in one - docile when you want, beastly when you need it.

For the street, it’s definitely overkill. Of course you can ride it everyday, but you’re never even using half of what it can do. Why not get something smaller and a bit more fun to wring out?

As a seasoned rider, the FZ-10 does everything right for street use. It's not twitchy, it's not unpredictable, but it's got power when you want it. It's all about self-control.

I'd say that most people don't need that much bike. You can ride it on the street yeah, but why worry about banging a wheelie through an intersection by mistake? Get a 600 and have more fun.

It's manageable but you have to respect it. The FZ-10 has no time for fools. If you can manage the throttle and have some miles under you, you’ll be fine.

I daily mine and love it. On the street, the trick is to avoid revving up in the upper part of the rev range. Without going full superbike mode, it’s plenty fast.

It's too tempting, man. That engine just begs you to do stupid things, you think you can behave. It’s a great bike but I wouldn’t want it as my only ride.

The FZ-10 is easier to ride on the street than a 600 was for me. The upright position is way more comfortable in traffic, but the torque means you’re not constantly shifting.

It's all about the rider. The FZ-10 is a great street bike when in the right hands. It's a recipe for disaster in the wrong hands. Ride accordingly and know yourself.
Is Yamaha FZ 10 still worth buying in 2025 or it is outdated?
10 January 2025 08:33
Absolutely still worth it! The engine is timeless crossplane, the chassis is rock solid. Yes, it won't have the latest gizmos, but it has all you need to have a thrilling ride.

Nope, it’s too long in the tooth now. The electronics are old, and you can get a lot more for the money with the newer bikes in the class. Time to move on, Yamaha.

It's a great value buy now, I'd say. It’s still a beast of a bike, and you can probably snag a used one for a steal. What do you need all those fancy rider aids for anyways?

It's a mixed bag. The bike’s core is still great, but they’re lagging on tech. If Yamaha would give it a proper update with a TFT dash and better electronics, it would be back on top.

I can tell you as a current owner, you can still have a blast riding in 2025. It’s not the newest or greatest thing out there but every time I twist the throttle it puts a smile on my face. Right? That’s what matters, right?
