I like this motorcycle, more than I should! With a bit more windscreen and GIVI bags, and I might have to have it.
MSRP is $8499, not bad.

FZ1 ??? more wind protection and they are looking alot alike now!

FZ1 ??? more wind protection and they are looking alot alike now!
they are the same bike, this is a sleeved FZ1. Over There, i think both bikes are available in two versions, with and without the half fairing. sharp. but i'd go with the thou. i wanted one of those when i was bike shopping, but the versys deal happened first.

edit: here's a review. (http://www.ashonbikes.com/content/yamaha-fz8-fazer8-review)

I can't believe how many cool bikes are coming out this year. I think I'm staying with the V for now, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to resist trying something else (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/firstrides/122_1006_2010_bmw_r1200rt/index.html).

Yes indeed!
But I'll take the Fazer8 abs version with the half fairing, tyvm:D
Only $11 grand Canadian.

Why anybody would buy a sleeved down 1000 is beyond me. There can't be any weight savings. Just get the FZ1. Better yet, the Z1000 or the Ninja 1000.

Thanks Kevrider, I think you are right. For 2 grand more, get the added horsepower and wind protection. Tough choice between the FZ and the new Ninja 1000, surely there is a test in the works there as well.
