Took it thru city traffic, bumpy road, short run on the interstate and just a few sharp turns. LOVE it.

Comparing it to my 08 Bandit 1250.... the ride is way smoother, handles way better (FZ8 is 100lbs lighter), FZ doesn't have the torque the Bandit has but given the benefits gained I can certainly live with it, roll on at highway speeds isn't as good as the bandit but again I can live with it, fantastic brakes, love the dash, headlight is way better and the chickybabes noticed !!!

I never felt the urge to wheelie the Bandit LOL. Monday or tuesday I'll scrub the tires in on some country roads with a buddy who has a 2011 Bandit.
I guess now I'm an offical FZ8 member.

Was talking to a buddy of mine and made a trade.... He's gonna repaint the FZ for me. I kinda leaning toward a Kenny Roberts theme.

You could follow the graphics of this Special Edition but do your's in yellow and black.:)

2012 Yamaha fz8 red and white edition - Google Search

I also like what this member is thinking about doing with the black fender and headlight shield http://www.779cc.org/forum/fz8-mods/2561-opinion-needed.html#post33536 Yellow & Black would look so good.
And if you follow the paint scheme, heres some good shots of the SE, click on photos twice for enlargements http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles...yamaha-fz8-wgp-50th-anniversary-ar130580.html

Kenny Roberts Black and Yellow is ALWAYS a good choice for a Yamaha!

Tank idea I found searching on Google...
