Yamaha Fz-10
The Yamaha FZ-10 was introduced for the 2017 model year as the North American market version of the MT-10, Yamaha's flagship naked hypernaked streetfighter. It is powered by a crossplane 4-cylinder engine derived from the YZF-R1 superbike, making it one of the most powerful production naked bikes of its era. The model was notable for its aggressive styling, advanced electronics package, and raw performance credentials drawn directly from Yamaha's MotoGP-inspired R1 platform.

What Buyers Should Know
Crossplane Engine Magic
The FZ-10 uses Yamaha's 998cc crossplane crankshaft engine derived directly from the R1 superbike, delivering a uniquely linear, predictable power delivery rare in naked bikes. This engine is proven and extremely robust when properly maintained.
Watch the Throttle Response
Early 2017 models were criticized for abrupt, jerky low-speed throttle response, which Yamaha partially addressed in later model years. Buyers should test ride and consider an aftermarket throttle tamer or ECU flash if purchasing a first-year bike.
Strong Resale Value
The FZ-10 (rebranded MT-10 in most markets) holds its value well due to its exotic R1-derived engine and strong enthusiast demand. Used examples typically retain 75-85% of their value within the first two years.
