She revved it hard then banged it into gear and yes you've guessed it.

Yup, I know how it goes.  Hope she was OK.


I remember one of my first outings on the wee thing.  Sitting at a junction I selected first gear ready to go.  Saw a gap, wacked the throttle open wide, nothing happened, so I kicked the gear lever again……………. well you know what happens.  I was trying to turn left but I went straight across the junction on one wheel.  I was lucky.  Didn’t make that mistake again.


Also, it still had the original Yokohama Super Slides fitted.  With solid foot pegs (leg shields gave you some warning of impending doom), that scary clutch, pretty much useless brakes and wobbly handling, well the Yokohama Super Slides were just ideal finishing touch to ensure that despite 7.5hp or whatever it was you would regularly be scared absolutely foccing witless.



Scary little things.

I've averaged 39.2 mpg on my MT10......... Yes I'm a sad Foccer too.

So what do you manage to a tank compared to the FZS1000?
