Allan Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Well, it's been a while since I posted and I have some bitter sweet news. I will no longer own an FZ-07 at the end of this week. I went to a Yamaha test ride event last Saturday and test rode an FZ-10 and well... That was the end of that... Yesterday I drove 279 miles to Detroit to pick up a brand new 2017 FZ-10 for 11,000 out the door which in my opinion is a great price for the FZ-10. I want to tank everyone on here for the great 4 years I have been on this forum. At the end of the week my friend will be buying my 07 and Zoey will no longer be mine. But like I said, out with the old, in with the new... I never honestly thought I'd be making this post because I love my bike to death. It was a very special bike to me. Bought it at the start of college and she was with my all 4 years until I graduated. Sad for sure, but I'm ready to move up in the motorcycle classes. My new bike which is still unnamed will be loads of fun I'm sure. I will still be around periodically I'm sure, but for now, this is goodbye. Thank you everyone. Below is a picture of Zoey with the new girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, @2wheeldynoworks can take your fZ-10 from the stock 133 hp to over 150 hp when you are ready. There is a ton of hidden power in that ECU. Youa re gonna love that bike, it is a beast.

Oh don't you worry. The FZ-10 forums will get a topic on that. Lol On 6/11/2018 at 1:49 AM, JRFlurry said: Congrats on the new bike! Did you go to Bright Power Sports or Rosenau? I went to Bright Power Sports. They had the best price I could find for a new one of these. On 6/11/2018 at 9:16 AM, Beemer said: You'll be back.

I already told the guy I'm selling my bike to if he ever goes to sell it again to let me know. haha I'd buy back the 07, rebuild the engine and make it a project bike or something.

You know you don't have to completely go, you can post some pics or video of your FZ-10 in the "Other Bikes" section and let people know what your personal experience with the bike is like. I would be interested anyway, especially in some home video. You could post your upgrades and comment on those as well. Just a thought, you don't have to do it.

SkH Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The absolute worst thing about buying a new bike is in a few months (or if you are lucky, a year or so) your baseline returns to normal again and the new bike itch starts all over again. Congrats on the new bike. I visit here at least once a week. Got any questions, ask and I will answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member norcal616 Posted June 15, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 15, 2018 well here in Michigan we do not get to ride all year round- I start getting the itch to ride my bike badly after like 2 months of snow but not to the point I need a new bike if I was living where you can ride all year round... winter time is for doing "secret upgrades" since your bike/car is hiding out in the garage... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
