What I would have paid extra money for had Yamaha offered it

Bags, windscreen, affordable ECU options (computer controlled). Most of the other stuff is Yamaha trying to get the price down to compete in this class. I think they did a good job with this.

I'm all about the QD options for saddlebags and windshield. Optional heated grips would be something I'd buy (or negotiate.)

Just my viewpoint.
If I wanted to buy a sportbike, I would have bought one. Probably the S1000SS, but maybe the R1M. Either way, rearsets and as-delivered quick shifter should remain options. (I do enjoy my quick shifter, but don't think the cost needs to be stock.)

This bike fits my needs well. Ride close to home a lot, take it to the mountains several times a year. QD bags and windshield would stay in the hotel on mountain days.

This is my first post and I hate to make it a rant, but I was sitting at lunch fuming about this and then I log in and bam, here's this thread.

Why the hell can't Yamaha get the stock fueling right from the factory? It was crap on the original FZ1, it was crap on the FZ09, and it's crap on the FZ10. How is it "boutique" brands like Aprilia and KTM can deliver flawless fueling from the factory yet one of the big 4 brands like Yamaha has to have a flash just to make the damn thing work the way it should. I know the EPA regulations blah blah blah, but doesn't Aprilia and KTM have to adhere to the same guidelines?

This on off throttle crap is tiresome and the sketchy off idle fueling is, in my opinion, unacceptable. I was seriously sitting at lunch today thinking about the new Tuono or Super Duke and getting rid of the FZ10. Which I hate to do because I'm a huge Yamaha fan and the reliability of the Japanese brands is pretty comforting when you are 600 miles from home, but from what I'm gathering KTM and Aprilia reliability isn't that far off anymore. That and I will lose my ass on resale at this point if I switch.

I'm pretty sure it's 2017 so can we get rid of the shitty rubber hoses. My dirt bike came from the factory with braided steel lines, both brake and clutch. Seriously, in the bulk amounts that Yamaha would use them, what would braided brake lines actually add to each unit, maybe $20?

I understand tinkering with a bike to make it your own. Aftermarket pipe, seats, graphics, shorty levers, etc. However, I shouldn't have to fix fundamental design flaw like fueling, brakes, and suspension.

Okay, I'm done pissing and moaning. Contrary to this post I do like my bike, but you have to admit it's pretty frustrating to spend $12k-$13K on a bike and immediately have to rip the ECU out and send it to a third party tuner to hack around and try and fix what a billion dollar company should have got right in the first place. Or spend $100 and a couple hours putting brake lines on when they should have been there from day one. Okay maybe I wasn't done pissing and moaning. On the bright side, I'm glad I have first world problems.
