Hi all, well I finally found an MT10 SP! Having to go across the country to get it. But that's okay, it's near my daughters place who I'm going to see next week.  That being said, it's time to say goodbye to my 2017 Yamaha FZ-10.  I'm asking $8,500 for her (firm). I'm the original owner and I have to say, it's the best bike I've ever owned (and I've had a lot of bikes)! I Never had a bike that made me laugh out loud in my helmet as much as this one! But now it's time to make room in the garage. I've taken meticulous care of her. She only has some small scratches that you'd expect from normal use, and the rims have some paint damage from tire changes (I finally got myself a tire changer to stop that). I changed the oil every 2,500 miles using Yamalube full synthetic oil and Yamaha oil filters. Air filter replaced 1,000 miles ago. Coolant replaced at 7,500 miles. Bike is stock and also comes with the following: Comfort Seat and stock seat GYTR Quick up-shifter R-1 front radial Master Cylinder Steel braided brake lines, front and rear R-1 Titanium Headers Rear Tail Tidy New tires (they have about 10 miles on them). As I said, I'm heading out of town tomorrow night. But I'll be around until then and be back Wednesday 8/24. I'm also going to have a 2018 R1 and an Aprilia RSV4 Factory for sale soon, if anyone's interested          |

So I have to ask. Am I asking too much for my bike? Based on what I’ve seen, I think I’m asking for a fair price. But there seems to be no interest?

I don't think so. I think the problem is more of "forums are going the way of the dinosaurs in favor of facebook marketplace and the like"

Ahh, I see. I actually wondered about that. Too bad. I’ve always liked this forum. Hate to see it decline.
Thanks!

Screw Facebook. Dumped it years ago. Forums IMO are much more personable. Even if the membership is in decline. Ya never know stuff is cyclical and may rebound in the future.

Facebook groups have pretty much taken over. Screw Facebook. Dumped it years ago. Forums IMO are much more personable. Even if the membership is in decline. Ya never know stuff is cyclical and may rebound in the future. I got rid of it 6 years ago and just reactivated my account a couple weeks ago to browse marketplace for when I'm ready to sell my TLS project. Craigslist is nothing but dealers and scammers and even the TL forums are a ghost town but TBF the TL hasn't been made since 2003 lol |

Seems to be a pretty fair price given the current market. One thing to note could be that most forum members here already have a fz/mt-10. Do you have posted to cycle trader or any other site?

Thanks all! I’ve also got it on Craigslist & Rumble On. Never used Rumble On before. But as said, Craigslist is full of dealers now! Guess I’ll just have to be patient. Have used Cycletrader before with limited success.

Yes, I also dumped FB about 6 or 7 years ago. Hate to reactivate it now.

Free to list too, nice! I'll keep them in mind when it comes time to sell my TLS project bike in (hopefully) a few weeks |
