YZF600R here and looking to move up to something with a more comfortable riding position and still that wonderful Yamaha inline 4 and less weight and bulk of a FJR1300 and it seems like the FZ8 might be a wonderful choice. My dealer is pretty knowledgeable on stock but he doesnt know much about the aftermarket mods. I am sure the FZ8 will have all power i want but what i am thinking about is a nice windshield and some fairing protection so i can stop doing the shorter rides on the YZF and do some longer rides on the FZ8 without getting tired. Also some bags for the bike that would be good as well. Yes i am very much a newby to this site and thats why i am here, to learn . Looking forward to hopefully being a FZ8 owner !
