What is the best sound and performance exhaust upgrade for the FZ 10?

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.

In 2025, the best thing about the FZ6R is that it has no electronics. Not a complicated system to fail, simply pure analog riding. It's refreshing.

It's a major drawback. Modern electronics make bikes easier and safer to ride at the limit. The FZ6R is dangerous in comparison.

I love the simplicity. Instead, you actually have to learn to ride properly, instead of relying on electronics to save you. In the long run, it makes you a better rider.

In 2025, if you don’t have at least traction control and cornering ABS it’s just irresponsible. It’s behind the times and the FZ6R shows it.

It's a double-edged sword. You sacrifice some safety features, but you also don't have to put up with software updates and electronic gremlins all the time.

If you don’t think you need a computer to enjoy riding, take a look at the FZ6R. It's just how rider and machine connect, and sometimes less is more.

I've ridden high tech bikes, and simple bikes, and I always end up back on the simple ones. It's pure and something new bikes have lost.

Modern electronics can be a real lifesaver for beginners, but it's fine for experienced riders. In 2025, the FZ6R might not be the best new rider choice.

The electronics keep the price down, both for the purchase and the maintenance. For riders on a budget but who still want a bike that can do the job, it's a great option.
How does the FZ6R compare to dedicated tourers when used as a long distance tourer?
10 January 2025 08:27
The FZ6R is a great budget tourer with a few mods like a taller windscreen and some soft luggage. I have done 1000+ mile trips no problem.

Weekend trips are okay, but for serious touring you want a dedicated bike. The FZ6R is not a comfortable bike or one with very many features for really long hauls.

Mine was great; I toured Europe on mine. It’s light enough to be fun in the twisties, but stable on the highway. Just need to pack light.

It’s no way near a real touring bike. It isn't designed for all day comfort and there aren't luggage options.
