I like the upper fairing and belly pan compared to the FZ1, they really should have stuck with the underseat exhaust!
Yes, looks very much like our FZ6. I also don't like the exhaust - it's pretty cheap looking. After market exhaust can solve the problem.
I'm dissapointed. How is this any different than a FZ1? 200cc displacement less? That's all? Compared to the FZ6, we gain 200cc displacement, inverted front fork, and adjustable suspension. We loose the underseat exhaust - the one defining trait of the FZ6. Looks like the answer to the question no one asked. I don't see this coming to the USA where the FZ1 would likely trump FZ8 sales.
I agree. I like the fairing, but I'm not a fan of the side exhaust. Thanks for sharing the article Dennis!
