For sale is my 2012 fz8. Great bike, just don't ride it very often, as evident by the low miles. Mileage is just over 2800, will go up as I do ride sometimes on the weekends. Bike has some small upgrades, what i would consider cosmetic: bar end mirrors, short levers, fender eliminator, dan moto...

@bauers007 I'm in Whittier and am usually riding through uptown, south mpls area. Do you ever go to first Thursday at donolos pizza? I find that I'm usually is 3rd at about 3.2k - 4.

Hey members, I was riding through the city and caught the wave of green lights. I began to wonder what rpm others tend to cruise at when riding at 35-40 mph?

Hey guys, i've been thinking of taking a more advanced skills course to sharpen my riding. I can't find anything that looks good via google. I just keep getting links to basic rider training. I'm looking for something more advanced, but not a "racing" class. Anyone in the mpls/ st paul area...

Warning to fellow riders: OK, so I'm not sure what the technical term is, but you know those metal ball pieces screwed to the bottom of the foot pegs? Well I was riding home in traffic and when i picked my feet up, the cuff in my pants caught that ball. One kick, two kick, would not let go! so...

I think it looks great mounted straight to the pass peg like that, so i will just have to copy you! Comes in on Monday! so excited. BTW that black is sleek looking. Wishing they offered that on the 2012

Oh how i wish it were true! Thanks for the advice guys, will be taking the sprocket cover off just for good measure. Cheers!

Found an apple jammed behind my swing arm, tucked into the frame area. The chain wore a nice groove in it. I'm not sure exactly how long it was there, but guessing 2-3 days. I looked the bike over and nothing seems damaged, but wanted the communities input on any particular area's to tripple...

Looks Great! I just ordered mine the other day :) :) Do you have any tips for installing it? or was it as straight forward as it seems. Did you remap at all? how do you find it riding?

I'd love to ride along the border sometime! I also moved out to MN from Detroit not long ago. Getting lost on my bike has been a great way to explore

MN Ride Congrats! where are you in MN?
