Observations and critique of my FZ10
1. Start looking for gas at around 100 miles.
2. Lots of buttons-reading the owner's manual is a must
3. Ground clearance was the limiting factor for cornering speed on the FZ1, it probably will not be on the FZ10
4. The hard seat does not dictate stop frequency, gas takes care of that.
5. At low speeds, the cross plane engine feels like a large bore twin.
6. Passengers are not going to be happy, at least not the ones over 65.
7. Riders are going to be happy, especially if they have been riding an FZ1.
8. Expect everything from "nice bike" to "what the ****."
9. Hitting the "off" button on the cruise control is like hitting the rear brakes fairly hard. Hitting the brakes to turn it off is not so abrupt.
