Bought a new 2011 today and put about 80 miles on in process of running it in. I have had a large number of bikes mostly sport bikes with upright rideing positions and a number of cruisers. I am going to be 72 in August and am gratefull I can still enjoy sport bikes. I knew I wanted the FZ8 after taking several demo rides at bike week in Daytona. Biggest suprise was how much wind is reduced by the headlight and front end. Even without any windscreen at all. A lot of people complain the suspension is too soft. But for me I like the soft ride and don't usually corner hard enough to upset the bike. Looking forward to make a few mods
