I never realized what I saw last year on Oct in Europe was FZ8
I thought it was FZ1 for Euro...now I know I was wrong..no sticker either..:thumbup:
From slightly appearence look like FZ1...seems like FZ8 kind of similar with FZ1
The seat set up, side muffler and specially tank and sitting position...
Headlight is replica from most of Euro naked bike such as ducati, honda, aprilia
I got a chance to sit on it only and sitting position quite comfortable..
is has more wide flat steering like FZ1 bar....
Is very muscular looking with new generation face lift....:BLAA:

Here's an intelligent analysis of why the FZ8 probably won't be released in the USA:

The FZ6 still gets a very respectable mid table placing. 11th place is he 800cc BMW.
I think there is hope for you guys.

I guess I am more surprised that Suzuki isn't even in the top 20. The DL 650 comes in at 23, and the GSXR 750 at 34
I wonder how these numbers for all of Italy would stack up against , say, CA? Or possibly TX?
thats an interesting list.. but hopefully we will still see the fz8 over here at some point...
so does fz8 mean 800 cc ? or r they stickin with the 6 ? thatd be cool if yamaha used like a 750 engine or somethin cool like that

Yes, it's 800cc, a 'sleeved down' Fz 1000 motor apparently.
I like it, but is it a bigger Fz6 or a smaller Fz1 ??
Oh yeah, and the exhaust can is hideous!

Other thant the fact that WE WANT IT IN THE US, do you guys think it makes business sense? It's basically a FZ-1 with a (apparently) sleeved motor. Other than the name, it doesn't even look like an FZ6.

It may mean the FZ1 is getting upgraded soon to,FZ12 perhaps ?
Or a redesign with the new R1 cross-plane crank? :thumbup: Maybe the full BHP?

Oh, man, you guys, stop it! My face hurts from laughing...
I would buy the bike you described but I don't see that EVER happening.

If it priced reasonable I think it would sell good.
But, only if they lost the sick gold accents.
Under seat exhaust would be much nicer.
Mini mini fairings look retro. Not good with a modern sport bike.

I like the mini fairing on the headlight, I'd love to mod that on my bike. I'm not to fond of the exhaust though, it looks like a garbage can.
