Re: Trip to UK from continental Europe, summer 2011 well its only october :) theres still plenty of time to figure things out, find more interested people. I've seen some movie clips online of nice routes there, seemed to me its a huge improvement compared to the dutch scenery ;) Dikes are...

Re: Trip to UK from continental Europe, summer 2011 I kinda missed this post as I sort off moved to the fz1-forum :P didn't forget you guys but as winter is moving in, riding the bike to work is almost over for me, having a car for the cold rainy days is a nice luxury. But this sounds pretty...

A good friend of mine is celebrating his bday this saturday, as I will be attending it, and probably won't leave till early morning, I'm going to have to skip this one. I hope the weather stays good and you have a great ride :thumbup:

so did you make it back home Martin??? I'm dead tired, was up till 1.30 am last night, and it was a pretty long ride. I thought I'd be home by 5 or something :D Anyway, had a nice ride, learning the tricks of the fz1.. already had the rear wheel slipping on the wet, I guess the 150bhp on the...

well the motor-forum.nl mega meeting is early.. if the majority votes for sunday perhaps I can hook up at a coffee break. considering the weather I'm sure there will be plenty ;)

Im getting the FZ1 next friday, Arranged it specifically for the motor-forum.nl mega meeting on sunday, so I'm available on saturday. According to weeronline.nl, the least rain will fall on saturday :P I need to ride in the rain to get my new leather alpinestars suit to properly form around me...

pm sent :)

last fz8 supporter has fallen... Did a test ride on it. It does have a more stable power curve, and it does respond to the throttle a little more what you expect, the bike feels rock solid when touring, but it lacks the crazy mode above 6-7k rpm. it felt like a really nice bike. For touring it...

I think they mean an airbag in the clothing, which already exists... but: to extend EU legislation on road worthiness testing/inspections to motorbikes and other powered two wheelers (which does not exist at the moment) complete and utter bull****. just another way for those greedy bastards to...

Like everyone else, best wishes :) I know how crashing feels, lost my fz6 6 weeks ago :(

oh ****, I might be one of the big defenders of the fz8 here, as I loved its looks.. but this hurts :( I don't want a new FZ6, but theres nothing like it out there.. (fazer that is)....

Its like I said in other posts, the fz8 costs 10k here, the fz6 8700, the fz1 14000!! 3500 more for the fz1 is a big step up... If I had the choice I'd get the 1... but money is the problem there...

Well judging the 75 people that voted keep the FZ6, well ok, thats obvious. Unless you've got money growing on a tree, the FZ8 will probably not justify the extra money. But, being that its "made from spare parts", does mean it already has lots of items you can fit. Like my pazzo's from the fz6...

Like I said in my FZ8 haters topic, most of your points make no sense. Maybe in the US the price difference is too big, and too small vs a FZ1. For me in the netherlands it isn't. Undertail exhaust melted my straps for luggage twice, and its only 8 kilo's heavier, it has bigger disk brakes...

I hear everyone talking about price... but the FZ6 costs 8700 euros here, and the FZ8 10200, the FZ1 goes for 13000... so only 1500 euros extra for the FZ8 instead of the fz6. For that you get 800 cc's instead of 600, bringing more low range power, a more solid build quality, (I had a good...

The pictures I posted are better than the ones yamaha has on their website, and even what I made aren't showing how it looks in real life. @cloggy: If there aren't any problems with delivery delay or anything, I should have it by the end of august and I'll join a FZ6 meeting :) So you realy...

I think its a crappy comparison..Don't really like MCN anyway. Their comparisons are usually pushed by either brand preference or personal opinion. No straightforward comparisons as to which bike is technically better, or economical (maintenance, if you can do it yourself, general issues etc)

Yea I don't realy mean its an fz6 but better, even tho I wrote that.. But it is an overal upgrade on so many parts. If this has to replace the FZ6 in general, it probably does a great job. Don't get me wrong, I loved my fz6.

Ok so I crashed my fz6, probably totalled. I will not be buying another FZ6 because I saw the fazer8 at the yammy dealer today. I think it looks great! it realy is an fz6 but better. Since my clavicle is still broken and my suit is trashed, I'll be waiting for my insurance to pay up, and go...

First is the FZ8, second FZ6 78.1KW (106.2PS) / 10000 rpm 72,0 kW (98 pk) at 12.000 tpm 82.0Nm (8.4kgf･m) / 8000 rpm 63,1 Nm (6,44 kg-m) at 10.000 tpm FZ6 is 8kg lighter. the torque seems quite good, at 2000rpm less its on its full potential.. I love the look, and who keeps the...
