Excited

"New Models from Yamaha at National BikeSafe Event
Yamaha will be giving free test rides (subject to criteria) on the brand new Super Ténéré and FZ8 at the upcoming National BikeSafe event. This will be the first UK showing at an outside event of both models so be sure to visit the Yamaha stand early to book your test ride."

This event is a couple of miles away from me and is this weekend

Apparently, the National launch of the "Canadian" FZ8 is this weekend in Kelowna, BC. I don't know any details, however.
FZ8's should be in showrooms within a month according to Pacific Yamaha in Richmond, BC.

Sat on the FZ8, don't really care for the look or the feel of being sat on it so didn't bother with a test ride, now the Triumph tiger that was a different beast all together, and I am very tempted to trade in the FZ, just need a test ride.
