Is Yamaha FZ 10 still worth buying in 2025 or it is outdated?

It's aged well, the FZ-10 is like a fine wine. It's more reliable and easier to work on than some of the newer bikes because it doesn’t have complicated electronics. Sometimes simpler is better.

It depends on what you are after, I think. Don't come here if you want the latest tech. If you want a raw, powerful naked bike that’s been proven reliable, the FZ 10 is still hard to beat.

It's outdated, no question. It's behind the times in suspension, and I can't deal with the lack of cornering ABS. Now there are much better options out there.

I have done a 1000 mile weekend on my FZ 10 and it was surprisingly comfortable. Long rides are great upright, but you want a windscreen for highway speeds.

It's for long distances, no way, it's a torture rack. The wind protection is a deal breaker, but the seat is way too hard. Short rides are best, or you'll have a sore butt and tired arms.

It's all about mods. Just slap on a comfortable seat, a tall windscreen and some soft luggage and it becomes a great sport tourer. With its flexibility, it's an excellent engine for putting miles away.

I'd say that's middle of the pack. It’s better than a full on sportbike but not as comfortable as a Tracer or a BMW R1250RS. If you want something sporty but still want to be able to throw it on the back of the car for an occasional long trip, it's a good compromise.

It’s no Gold Wing, but the FZ-10 is more comfortable than it looks. The problem is the small tank, you’ll be stopping for gas all too often on a long tour.

I tour on mine all the time. The important thing is to build your stamina. It's not the most comfortable bike out there, but it's so much fun you forget about the little stuff.

It's terrible for touring. At highway speeds the vibrations will numb your hands and the aggressive riding position grows old real quick. If touring is your priority, there are much better options.

It depends on your size, I think. I’m 6’2? and for long rides, the FZ10 is pretty comfortable. On long trips, it may be a reach to the bars for smaller riders.
What is the best sound and performance exhaust upgrade for the FZ 10?
10 January 2025 08:33
Akrapovic all the way. It's expensive, yes, but the sound is what it should be, deep and throaty without being annoying. But the titanium also saves a ton of weight.

The Yoshimura R77 is one I like. It sounds great, provides decent performance gains and it's cheaper than some of the premium options. You can't go wrong with Yoshi quality.

I would honestly say the stock exhaust with the baffle removed sounds pretty good. You'll feel the difference with suspension upgrades or better tires - save your money for those.

SC Project for me. It's as loud as hell and looks badass. Just make sure you’re ready to be hated by your neighbours.

I decided to go with a full system from Black Widow. The sound and performance gains are impressive, but it’s a fraction of the cost of the big names. Don’t sleep on the budget options either!

Whatever you get, be sure to buy a good fuel controller like a Power Commander. If you don't tune your engine properly, you're wasting performance, and you're risking damaging the engine.

I can call me crazy, but I do love the Leo Vince slip on. It sounds unique, and it's not ridiculously expensive.

I'm running the M4 exhaust and could not be happier. It didn't break the bank, it had great sound, and it was noticeable that it saved weight. It’s also not as common as some of the other brands, so you’ll stand out a little more.

Unpopular opinion: keep it stock. That crossplane engine already sounds great in the FZ-10, and you don’t have to worry about running into any warranty stuff or legal stuff with noise regulations.
