FZ8 coming in Summer 2010

No pictures, but at least its good news. I'm just hoping they're planning on selling them in the US. I'm interested in seeing the Super Tenere too.

I'm sure is going to be a great bike for somebody who haven't had a FZ6.
But I wonder how many of us will upgrade to an FZ8..
My guess is almost all of us who will want o upgrade on the same line (how many? I wonder again), will simply go to FZ1, a more logical move, don't you think?

i have to sorta agree. i'm still waiting for the full specs, but feel like the fz8 is focused towards a different type of rider (than what the fz6 serves now) and clearly the fz6r is. so what does that leave us with? the fz1 or another manufacturer i suppose

For me, I hope it has more lure than the street triple. I wont be in an fz6 forever.

I'd just be happy if they would bring the Tenere to the US but I'm not holding my breath.

I think it'll be cool to see the new FZ but I don't think I'd get rid of my 6 for one. I would like to add a 2010 R6 to my garage though...

Yes please! I would love to get my hands on one. :thumbup:

The Street Triple R is one of the few bikes I would consider moving to. Unfortunately, once I add a flyscreen\windscreen and better seat (I understand the stock one is really bad) it would cost about twice what I paid for my FZ6. While I'm sure it's a step up I doubt it is anywhere near twice the bike.

The other bike I like is the KTM SMT990 and that costs a lot more! It's a tough market in the US if you hate cruisers and think supersports impractical on the road.
