    MT-01 parts for an FZ8?

    Let me start by saying that I just saw pictures of the MT-01, which apparently is for sale everywhere that isn't the United States (Thanks, Yamaha:tdown:). I have no doubt I would have chosen it over the FZ8 if given the choice. My question is this, since the bikes seems to have some...

    Pic from last night

    I've put nearly 350 miles on the FZ8 this week. I'm not use to being able to ride 100 miles and still being able to walk afterwords. It's kinda nice.

    New FZ8 in KY

    I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself as a proud new FZ8 owner. I'm a life long Yamaha fan that previously had an R1 before taking a 4 year detour with Ducati (1098). I loved the look and power of the Ducati, but their bikes are unreliable and are the poorest value in the motorcycling...
