good stuff, thats a great base for a cafe, see a lot of people building some excellent looking machines out of them. mind if I ask how much you picked her up for?

[zcenterb]

Thanks, I am really happy with her. Should be a great build. Honestly I got a really good deal... The guy I bought it from was a really nice older gentleman that had owned it for over 15 years and kept up on service and maintenance etc. I showed up with a rental trailer and took it home for $1900. Really excited about it.

Good deal, thats a great price for an old air head, cant seem to find ones in worse shape out here for under 3k. Look forward to seeing what your going to do with it, make sure to update us with pics :)

What do you guys think of the fz10?

[bikerbill2021]

Well, I am biased towards Yamaha (and Honda), although a little too "batman" like for my taste if that makes sense, its still a great looking bike that I'm sure performs just as well as it looks. I hear a lot of good things about the FZ6-FZ1/FZ07-08-09 line of bikes from them, I'm sure this one is no different, basically in a rough sense they are more comfortable R6/R1s

I think it would look much better with a more standard head light assy like the FZ08-09 etc

Ive been looking at all the naked bikes, I love the superduke but its a bit more $$.
Insurance is also kinda scary.

I agree with Downz the front is a little too much for me. The fz07/09s have always intrigued me for like a 'daily' bike when I want a more relaxed ride but can still have fun because the power. So I'm sure the fz10 is a blast.

The magazines love the FZ10, I am sure it is great but as mentioned above too Transformer-looking for me.

I prefer the Yamaha XSR900, nice blend of classic looks, power, and features...
