    My new FZ8

    Heres the bike that ticks all the boxes I have on offer.
    I had it for a few hours today and it didnt take to long to get used to the view.
    Several other bikes in and around this class did not jump at me the way the FZ8 did.

    It will come with a GYTR R6 Shorty and Pack Rack (my only requirements)
    Paul Wheeler at North Harbour Yamaha has been effortless to deal with and put together a real good deal that we are both happy with.

    It will also come with its first service done...Paul has taken the bike around the Coro previously and I took it back with about 940 Ks clocked up.

    Fecken love this bike...Click image for larger version.

    I remember well the days when I had a mid-size naked. Oh the shits and giggles that were had. Sigh.

    I can fully understand why the short can, what a fugly standartd can

    If the grin you had on your face when you brought it home is anything to go by, I am one lucky gal tonight

    Congratulations love. It is so cool to find the bike of your dreams. What is its name?

    Nice choice of bike, should be a little bit healthier on the gas consumption.

    interesting.

    Its a nice looking thing (apart from that can!)

    I was offered a ride on one a while ago which I turned down, and by then I had convinced myself to buy an ST-R anyway. They fill the same market segment, what swung you the Yamaha way?
