    What did you pay for your Yamaha FZ8

    I bought mine May 25th 2013 for a 2012 for just over $7500 USD out the door. :D Now she's getting worked on slowly. Just finally put my ProTaper fat bar adapters and ProTaper Contour Universal Low bars on. Had my Yoshi on a few days after buying the bike. Bar end mirrors are in transit now!

    New FZ8 Central PA - State College

    It's all going to depend on when I get all the parts for the bike. I want to punch out the cat, get and air filter, smog block off plates, and the power commander first. I'll keep you posted when it all falls into place.

    I will probably end up going down to Karns Performance to get the FZ8 tuned on the dyno before too long. Maybe we can all meet up out that way. Seems like a middle point for all 3 of us.

    the r6 and r1

    The bike was a beast.. Got to the point on the bike where I wasn't scared of it anymore. With that much power, it's a bad thing... Friends started to not want to ride, because I loved using the power. So I was about to switch it into a track bike, but I got a job in Cleveland. All highways...

    the r6 and r1

    Hey guys Last year I sold my 2010 R1 after putting about 7k on it. By far the best sounding/handling bike I've ever been around. I switched over to the FZ8 for comfort. I put over 500 miles on the FZ8 within the first 2 days of having it. 500 miles on the R1 would have made not want to ride...
