Hi i purchased a FZ8S last Saturday, i wanted to upgrade from my Ninja 650 but didn't want to go 1000cc. So far i have found this to be a perfect compromise, it handles great and puts a smile on my face. My FZ8 has 14 months factory warranty left and i bought it with 2800km on the clock (1750miles). I live in South Australia on the outskirts of the famous wine region of the Barossa Valley. Over here in Australia the FZ8 has been replaced by the MT-09 (FZ-09) and it is one of the most popular bikes here.
