Sad to see you go. From my recollection, I got the impression that the latest GSXR-750 did not review well - if you are influenced by reviews. Good luck.

Did a nice trip (200km) into the Alps this Sunday. Weather was perfect (sunny but not too hot).
Jealous......

Did you notice, I'm elite? Elite, I tells ya!
Not knowing much about handlebar risers, and frankly being new to riding altogether, what are these risers for? What do they do for your riding position? I recently bought a 2012 FZ8 (on Thursday) and love it, did you not like where the handlebars were? Also, side note, what is the first thing most people upgrade when buying there fz8? Thanks!

Handlebar risers are spacers under your bar clamps that bring the bars up for a more relaxed sitting position, less stress on wrists and arms. My first upgrades were mirrors/tires/seat in that order. Others will say suspension, but for a naked standard that it is, the suspension is fine, for supersport handling, best to start with a supersport. If you want to spend big $$$ and ride real aggressive, adjustable suspension will give you the most noticable upgrade.

Agree to this listing, would probably add tail tidy and a slip-on as next steps.

Absolute first thing to upgrade is....your smile. Riding these other cheesy ass crappy bikes, you kinda get a half-assed squint on your face which you think is a smile. When you get the FZ8, break out that quarter-past-9 grin from ear to ear.
This is a chick fresh from riding the fz1.

For me it was barend mirrors, tank pad, "in memory of" painted, tires, saddle bags, fender eliminator, reflective wheel strips, the new carbon heal gaurds. That was under the first 2000 miles.
I will stay away from exhaust and pcv as long as i can. Money is better spent on tires, hand grips, comfort, and handling for me.

Most of my miles are city riding and as so, I want to see, be seen and heard.
Bar end mirrors, a bright yellow Simpson Bandit helmet and a "big shouty exhaust".
Oh, the ridiculous rear fender goy junked with only 7 miles on the bike also.

Suspension, suspension, suspension. Also a fender eliminator and new rubber... Handeling is key for me.
Also upgrading rider skills/rider training is money well spent
