Found a great deal on a used 2018 MT-10 blue and black with 600 miles from Facebook Market Place. Love this bike so far, but it is funny how few people own this bike and when you find one used how little miles are on these. I have already put on 300 miles and did the first oil change. I will be setting up the suspension to better fit me (6 ft 190 lbs) this weekend. I am thinking that is the reason for people not liking the bike they expect to just get on it and it to be set up for them. Anyway hope to see someone else from the Austin Area on this forum.

I think so few people own them because they don’t know what to think of them. Until I bought mine 6 months ago I had no idea they even existed. I mean I knew of the FZ but not this new iteration of it. I rode with a group a couple of weeks ago that included 3 15+ R1’s in the group and when we stopped they had no idea what I was on. They asked me if it was something Euro. I simply went looking for something “sporty” but more upright and happened on this bike. R1 motor and more comfortable ride sold me. After all the reviews I looked at not one was bad except for a “snatchy throttle”. I’m happy with my purchase. Suspension on any bike is never gonna be setup from the go and certainly not for taller heavier guys. Hell youre to tall and heavy for the stock suspension on these bikes. Anything over 5’5” and about 150lbs and you really need to respring. The suspension on these bikes are designed for the horse jockey gp riders that ride them professionally.
Anyways congrats on your purchase and welcome from Dallas

Welcome aboard!! I've seen a couple in the area but not many. Live down in Kyle.
Yeah the suspension was the best thing I did. I took it to on road off road suspension. The guy does track side tuning and used to race. If you need help with look him up. Real easy dude to talk with and does all the work himself.
