Nice

 Ugly tank, ugly headlight, ugly mirrors.

Just looks too complicated for my taste.

[ojstinson]

Sometimes bad ass and ugly are synonymous.

The suspension, mainly the forks, are woefully inadequate on the FZ8.

Meh. Needs full fairing

[The Buddha]

Yea the headlight is about as pretty as a pair of chrome truck nuts. Hell atleast those are behind not in front.
Cool.

Rode one 2 (?) yrs ago as they were released here before the U.S.

The problem is that it is a bike that answers a question no one asked. You get more power than the FZ6, but not as much as the FZ1. But it's not that much less money that you would choose it over the FZ1. If Yamaha had put a street version of their crossplane 800cc MotoGP motor in it, I don't think you could have kept them in the showrooms ~ woulda made the Street Triple sound pathetic in comparison. But Yamaha didn't, and I've never seen one on the road even though they've been available for a couple of years now.

Its what I'm thinking of getting when I can ride again. Love the ride, feel, etc
