I have been Riding "Crotch Rockets" Since I bought my first one in October of 2005 Kawasaki ZX-6R. I have had many other bikes since then. My Current Bike is a 2013 Kawasaki ZX-14R. Im 31 have a family and now dont need to go 187mph. Not to mention its getting uncomfortable. My buddy just bought a 2013 FZ-8 and he loves it. We were out riding last week and we switched bikes. I immediately fell in love with the comfort. Power was lacking but I loved everything else about the bike. That sparked my interest and started doing research. Thats when I found the 2017 FZ-10. I think this bike looks sexy as hell! I went today to my local dealer and put a deposit on one. I should have it within the next week. Im excited!!!
My only question I have is what is the top speed of this bike? I cant seem to find anything on that. I am hoping for 150-160. Does anyone know?
Thank you all for the help. I hope I didnt make a mistake.

Top speed is depends on how strong your neck can take the wind lol. I always back out around 140. I'm sure bike can go over 150 but I doubt my neck can. I've always had sportbike and bought this bike for comfort and hope of slowing down and just "cruise" on public road. Ever since I reflashed ecu from 2wheeldynoworks, it's constant wheelies when you are below 4th gear and riding like a maniac. Low end and top end is fairly disappointing off the factory but that might save your driver license for little longer.

I have heard 145 stock, 170 with ecu flash/removal of factory restriction. Don't quote me on that. One of you guys should be the ones telling us right here on the forum. I'm waiting...

FZ-10 is tuned more for mid range and low end. You can always change sprockets if you want a higher top end.
Bike choice is personal choice, no one here can tell you if you made the right one.
I got tired of clip on handle bars on the street a long time ago and built a "street fighter" standard out of my '97 CBR900RR back in '02 and I always had a second sport bike set up for the track. Now the industry has caught up and we have a nice selection of superbike powered street standards to choose from.
That said, as far as track bikes go, clip ons, rear sets and a full fairing are the way to go.

I think the restrictions are different in the USA and the MT-10 might have more power? They should be equal after the re-flash.

What color did you order? I think you're going to love it. I certainly love mine.

I ordered armor gray. I have a full Brock's exhaust and reflashed my zx14r. Putting down 204 at the wheel. I will for sure re flash the fz10 and hopefully Brock's will come up with an exhaust.
