Yeah, we made a little trip last autumn with my mate, he has an FZ8, we swapped bikes for couple of kms. The FZ8 is basically a literbike, with reduced bore, therefore it has the weight, size and flickability of a literbike. The non-adjustable suspension isn't great, frame at the tank is wide, bike is heavy, rider triangle is sporty. On the plus side there's more torque and HP, the frame is rigid, seat is wider, build quality is good and I think it looks good, even today. Anyhow I wouldn't swap my bike for it, especially because my bike has upgraded suspension, adjusted for my weight. I like this old girl (FZS600) better.
