Thanks Val. What's the difference between a fz8 and a fazer? Can anyone give a breakdown of my machine, I just thought it looked nice. Well pleased with the ride.

Thanks Slappy. Here's my new ride. I've stuck a puig wind shield on since taking this pic, makes a lot of difference on the open roads.

Hello Everyone


I ve` recently started riding bikes again after a 16 year break. I bought a 1585 CC Harley Davidson Fat Bob Last year (thought I would get something small  for a start!!!). Thoroughly enjoyed getting back behind the bars and had some great ride-outs last year. The problem I have is that most of my friends have nakeds and felt a bid out of place on the old hog. So, I`ve just purchased a 2014 FZ8 in grey. The bike had just over 600 miles on the clock when I bought it a few weeks ago. I have just reached 1100 miles over the weekend which has completed the running-in period of the engine. The close gears have took some getting used to but I must say it feels a different machine now I can hold the revs out a little longer before changing gear. Overall I am really pleased with the bike, its light and quite nimble around the corners and has plenty of power for my style of riding. I do have an over run problem with it when gearing down and I will start a thread in the FZ8 section of the forum as it makes it easier to find if anyone else is experiencing the same and looking for an answer.   


Cheers
