I think it's going to be very very nice. I'm liking the look of both models and I'm sure it will be a little more "advanced" than the FZ6.

Hmmm, I want to know NOW more about this FZ8. Of course, my HD friends will call it a P.O.S. (and not be joking)
Ok here's some analysis.
Going from left to right.
1st pic) There's something different with the fairing on the FZ8. Part of it sticks forward.
2nd pic) USD forks, as others have noted. Probably fz1 inspired.
3rd pic) pod lights
4th pic) You can see that Yamaha has kept the same clutch adjuster this time around. Also, some of the handlebar is shown, it looks like an fz1 styled handlebar. I could be mistaken about this. There's also a weird groove where the fuel tank is supposed to be (bottom of pic, underlined in red.) Any idea what that's there for?
Could be a platic front piece on the tank like the FZ1 and R1&6 have. Or it could be a line made into the tank to replicate that look.

The header looks like vintage 1985 FZ 750.
I'm not sure what to think of that set of photos. Maybe if they were in color instead?
LOL you don't get out much do ya? 12.3.2010 to anyone besides an American means March 12, 2010. The rest of the world uses dd/mm/yyyy for dates.
As far as power, I agree with urbanj. 130hp. Hopefully it will be crossplane too!
I wonder how many of us will be reunited in the next year or so on the FZ8 forum
