    Veteran Riders--FZ-8...How good is it?

    I've never heard of not being allowed to test ride from a dealer, seems like bad business to me. I understand why individual owners who are selling don't, but the dealer should be doing whatever they have to iin order to keep in business and maintain a positive name with all of their customers.

    Fazer8 (FZ8S) - Headcount & Overall Feeling

    N. It's a good bike, especially for commuting to/from work. For road tripping, I'd have to make serious modifications with regard to comfort/storage, but I've a Harley for those. I was never able to test ride the Fazer, if that were at the dealer instead of the N I wouldn't have bought it. It...

    FZ-8 Top Speed?

    I knock off usually around 95mph normally, fastest 110. Those speeds are stupid fast on public roads. Recommend saving those speeds for track days only. Not to mention if you are caught that's "go to jail do not pass go, do not collect 200$." Reckless driving, loss of license, and a whole slew...

    The scheduled service in both the owners and service manual doesn't call for it to be changed at all. Request you post your findings with photo's.

    Front/Rear Stands vs Center Stands?

    I don't know who makes it. When I saw the prices of new stands I laughed and starting looking around on craigslist. Found a front and rear stand for 45$.

    Front/Rear Stands vs Center Stands?

    I use a rear stand without the spools without any issue. Mine has L shaped brackets that lift the rear by the swingarm.

    Would you take the white FZ8 if you could?

    I'm going to have some accenting done in white, I currently have the raven. It's nice, but I want a few things in white. Namely the piece in front of the gas tank, the side pieces under the seat, and probably the two side pieces attached to the headlamp. Hopefully I can get the same type of...
