Hard to say.. it feels like i could get the fron up if i tried. The bike is a little heavy.but cannot notice it at all while balanced and riding. It's a very balanced bike. Oh and one other thing... I do not think seat is height adjustable. I pulled it and could not see anyway to do that. I need am ownrrs manual, did not come with one.Thanks for the review jsp.Im glad your back in the saddle so quick.It sounds like a great all around streetbike, and suits your needs better.How light does the front end feel under acceleration compared to both of your old 600s?
None really haha. But that means no wind buffering. Over 80 you can really start to feel the push but its not bad at all. I rather enjoy it. Gives to the whole freedom of riding and such.Nice bike, J !!
Thanks for the review & comparisons.
One question: how's the wind protection from the headlkight & deflector?
I was going to ask too. I like the FZ8 but concern about the windy part... my neck is not that great. I was looking around yesterday about screen available for the 8, not much. Then I found out the Fazer 8 comes 1/2 fairing. So I could always mod it...lolNone really haha. But that means no wind buffering. Over 80 you can really start to feel the push but its not bad at all.

Haha sorry but thays funnyI was so close to getting an fz8, but my mom smoked new ports when she was pregnant and made me a little to short
Bullshit! . Nope not me. I thought i saw you in bend! Haha. Black fz6r with a passenger (I think..). So u sayin there is another 8 in town eh??? Hmmmm.....Jay, was that you that I saw in Redmond? Had to be, cuz that is the only FZ8 I've ever seen around here!

Sure as heck looked like an 8. It was black, no fairing, decepticon logo shaped headlight and gold forks... Could have swore it was you...
He has already stated he will ride. Already cant wait. First words out of his mouth was "how's my bike?"Hows your dad? Is he gonna continue to ride or do you think he will hang his hat?
I do. I will get one real quick here! Give me a few. Will prob be on my phone though and not the GoPro. Much quicker upload from my phone.Ummm... Yo Jsp, Don't you have a gopro? umm... Video walk around of your girl!????
If it wasn't you, we need to figure out who it was!!Well than that was you then!
Sadly I did no riding at all today. Had to take the kiddo to a bday party and then was visiting the pops in the hospital.
Love to hear the hows my bike quote....sign of a true bike and a warrior spirit..He has already stated he will ride. Already cant wait. First words out of his mouth was "how's my bike?"
He is doing good. They have him up and walking a few times a day. May get to go home in a day or two.
