I'm looking at a 12' FZ8 that a local dealer has with only 45 miles on the bike. It is pre-owned. Previous owner bought it, rode it home and got really sick that weekend and never road it again.
I don't really know much at all about the FZ8's. I am no stranger to bikes but have not kept up with this machine. I did ride it quickly and thought everything about the bike felt smooth. I like the seating position too.
My concern for the bike is how does it do with two people on it? I had an FZ6 once and I really liked the bike but when my now X-Wife got on it with me, the bike was horrible. It could not handle the weight.
My new and wonderful girlfriend loves to ride with me so I want a bike that works well for both of us. She is little, 5'2" and only about 110 pounds. My Buell handles the weight of both of great but the comfort level of my Buell is killing me. We spent three days in the mountains not long ago on the Buell and that was when I decided I needed a bike that is a bit more comfortable
So can an FZ8 handle two up and have the passenger ride with some level of comfort? Are there any luggage options for the FZ8? Most of the time the bike will be taking me to work and running back roads. Some days by myself and other days with my girlfriend. We will do the occasional trip to the mountains as well.
