a second hand FZ8


God the  FZs1 was nice to ride,i have put the 17 tooth front back on so the front does not come up so much on acceleration, the pull makes the voices in my head say "more!more"
shit it's fast,power commander,k and n filter, blue flame end can seem to work harmoniously and sound amazing,so so pleased.
