the FZ8 doesn't appear to be very popular judging by amount written in here.
or else where for that matter.
do you guys think that Yamaha made a mistake discontinuing the Fazer 600.
got to admit the Fazer600 from 02/03 were the best.
sure they could of use the same engine with fuel injectors instead of using the R6.
I like the look of the FZ8 but its a bit thirsty and a short range.
the xj600 doesn't seem a lot going for it in comparison.
so what is your opinion.
If I wanted to make a life-long career out of
working with the mentally retarded I would
have opened a Harley Davidson Dealership!

I have an XJ600 and a Fazer, the xj600 is nothing on the fazer, althought has the same clunky gearboxes! Much softer suspension too... Engines not too bad, but a bit rattly being oil cooled.
workmate of mine has a xj600......bought it thinking it would be a match for my mk1 600.....nowhere near :eek ....too soft and squiggy and cant keep up on the straights or bends......dont think he will have it long
One, is never going to be enough.....
Nothing that much wrong with the FZ8 except the ridiculous price, that's why it's unpopular.
OTR £7999 and Est 39 mpg! Doesnt make for good reading!
Didn't know they'd stopped the FZ6, although I was wondering yesterday. Spooky!
I really don't get the FZ8 at all.
It's basically a thou with a sleeved down engine and cheaper bouncy bits.
Less oomph, same weight.
Why?
I know it'll be slightly cheaper to insure and run, but I really think they missed a trick with this one.
I've said it before, but an all new 800 engine for an R8 could have slid nicely into a variety of different frames, least of all the FZ range, and allowed them to have a full range of 800 bikes from race reps to trailies.
