FZ-10 Motorcycles for Sale in peninsula, Iowa

<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The Yamaha FZ-10 shares its essential platform with—the YZF-R1—the overall balance of all its qualities makes it excel. The 998cc crossplane inline-four is the power plant!! The FZ-10’s 45mm throttle bodies are essentially the same as those used on the R1 but allow for cruise control (yes!) and carry single fuel injectors that pump 25 percent more fuel at 100-percent duty cycle; the showerheads on the R1 are deleted here, and the emphasis on making more power in lower rpm calls for the increased injector capacity.  More conservative cams reduce dura­tion, lift, and overlap, all things that help the bike run more smoothly and provide greater power at lower rpm. Add to this smaller ports and smaller 31mm steel (not 33mm titanium) intake valves, which give the air and fuel cause to rush more quickly into oblivion at lower rpm, making bottom-end output more robust and overall response feel a lot more imme­diate than on the R1.    The 130 horses and 73 pound-feet are no joke!!       On the road, one will be amazed!! . The 43-tooth rear sprocket gains two teeth versus the R1 (and accounts for the slight change in wheelbase) but the transmission keeps the same internal gears, so the tall first is followed by some very close ratios. Top-gear roll-on performance is super strong, and the six-speed gearbox’s shifting performance is impeccable.    So is the chassis. Rake and trail are classic 24 degrees/4.0 inches, just like the R1, and the main frame and swingarm are identical. Full praise for the handling on this naked superbike. It’s got total unflappability like the R1 but is easier to turn thanks to that wide handlebar.  Pretty impressive power for such an overall refined feeling. The more you ride the FZ-10, the more you like and appreciate what it does. Great ergonomics, a comfortable seat, controls that feel elegantly smooth, and fine brakes it even has ABS.  Add it all up to  give a wonderful ride, natural feeling that clicks right into the open space in your brain that is waiting for “great all-purpose motorcycle.   This one is CLEAN!!! it has under 10,000 miles on it. It has been fully serviced, and it is ready to ride!!! </p><p></p>
