Yamaha Unleashes the All-New 2017 FZ-10 Sport Model
Cypress, CA – June 8, 2016 – Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., is pleased to introduce the all-new FZ-10 “Hyper Naked” flagship sport bike that compliments the wildly successful FZ-07 and FZ-09 models to its Sport motorcycle lineup.
The all-new, aggressively styled FZ-10 offers serious power and agility thanks to its R1-derived engine, chassis, and fully adjustable KYB® suspension, and liter-class riders will appreciate the FZ-10’s torquey power delivery and corner-carving precision.
The FZ-10 is powered by the latest-generation R1-based crossplane-crankshaft engine, which has been expertly tuned to provide plenty of low- to mid-range torque and power. The intake ports and valves, combustion chamber, camshafts, and compression ratio have all been designed specifically for the all-new FZ-10, to achieve outstanding rideability in a wide variety of situations.
The distinctive, exterior styling of the FZ-10 is defined by a dynamic, mass-forward silhouette with lean, yet muscular and athletic lines. A small front cowl, full LED lighting, and exposed engine combine to create the visual expression of spirited performance, while the upright riding position provides for a comfortable, yet sporty, slightly forward lean.
From sport riding, to commuting, to long-distance adventures, the new FZ-10 is ready to impress, with its Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), D-Modes (three different riding modes), Traction Control (three different settings), Cruise Control (using the left handlebar switchgear, riders can easily select or adjust a set speed for improved rider comfort when traveling long distances), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and full LCD instrumentation.
The 2017 FZ-10 will be available in Armor Gray and Matte Raven Black, and will retail for $12,999, with bikes available in Yamaha dealerships beginning in late June.
