Maybe I'll stop by Canada for some cheap prescription drugs, maple syrup and a Yammie.

I'm not sure about other places, but here in BC the cut off for insurance is at 750cc, then it almost doubles. So twice as much insurance for 27cc, more weight, a horible looking exhuast, painfull looking seat. Yes ya get a few more ponies, and a bit more torque (which are sucked by the extra weight). IMHO its just isn't worth it. I'd get a FZ1 or just stick with my 6.
Yamaha Canada has just announced that the 2011 Yamaha FZ8 and 2011 Yamaha Fazer 8 street bikes will be available in the Canadian market. Perhaps as a disappointment for some, both models of the new street-naked will come without the option for ABS.
Presumably the Canadian market has now cleared out its back-stock of Yamaha FZ6’s, which the 8-series has been replacing in European markets, and can now begin to offer the new middleweight.
With Canada getting the 8’s in its line-up, all eyes are now on the Yamaha USA to see if/when they’ll bring the bike to the US market. When they do, we can probably look forward to some great commercials, like these gems from the European campaign (that’s sarcasm for those keeping score). Check them out in the link below... did we mention they’re really bad?
