I'm amazed that they haven't made any announcement regarding the 2018 FZ-10 (or a re-badged MT-10) yet. People were talking about riding their new '17s in September of last year, so those are almost 14 months old. I think they may reveal the 18's at Eicma. I guess we will have to wait and see. I am in the market, but holding out to see if the 18's offer anything I want over the 17's. I'm hoping for a blue one. Think ur right. We should know the 18 lineup next Tuesday. Think ur going to see a blue one also and gray one. There already registered with CARB as 2018 MT10’s. I just watched a video from the Tokyo motor show that’s going on right now and they have the blue one on display. |

I don't care what colors they go with, but I hope they ditch the neon wheels. They look cool, but holy hell what a pain to keep clean.

Just got back from a 135 mile ride and didn't have to do a thing to the wheels, clean as a whistle. Maybe if you ride on dusty, gravel roads or in the wet it might be more of a problem, but on dry roads, eezy peezy. |

I’ve just been quickly wiping mine down with a damp microfiber towel once a week. And, I am loving those wheels more and more. They really do make the machine look fun, and they make me feel young. Haha. |

I gotta change the forums that I own all over to MT instead of FZ.

Yamaha's EICMA private press conference is tomorrow at 9PM CET (4PM EST). It looks like the entire FZ/MT line may have big news ahead between a wholesale platform shift from the FZ badge to the MT badge, as well as an FZ-09 SP with a suspension that isn't dog crap. I wouldn't think that many major changes are in stock for the FZ-10 platform given that it's barely a year old, but depending on what they do change i'll buy new old stock 17 or an 18 this winter.
Hopefully they've sorted all the headlight-cracking bugs, and maybe they've addressed the engine ticking (alhtough that was a prominent feature on my 08 R6, so if it's still around I'm guessing it's not going anywhere). I'd really like a full color dash, but that's most likely out of the question. I usually don't care about colors too much, but my last bike was a raven so I want something less black, and I'm personally still not sold on the neon wheels. I do feel like powder-coating the hi viz wheels while leaving bright yellow accents has a lot of cool design potential, but I'd like to keep my paint stock.
