Great looking bike! Congratulations! I miss riding my 6R since selling it a few months ago. it was the best and worst thing I have done. My wrist and back thanks me for it, but I die a little inside evrytime I hear the revving engine go by. I am drooling looking and reading about this bike.
safe driving and enjoy!

Insurance is only a few more a month on this bike than my R6. So $30/month full coverage $500 deduct $25k/$50k/$20k. No medical. State Farm.
I love my statefarm policy.. Feel that get a good deal on full coverages.
When I got my bike I was asking about the Ninja 500 and the 6R. Was only like $0.50 more per month for any 600cc bike I was told.. LOL
Very nice. Is it me or do the handlebars look like theyre at kind of funky angle?

Which way? Forward and back or rotation angle/wrist? Been 2 years on my R6 with Clip-ons and I definitely notice a different feeling but was not sure. They feel way different. Like riding a dirt bike
Have to get used to bars again. They very well may be a weird angle though...EDIT: Looking at pics of the FZ6r vs the 8... The 8 definitely looks and feels more straight across and upright vs the 6R having an angle down and toward the rider. I thought the 8 felt different from the 6R but its been a couple years...

I'm a little curious about insurance on these bikes... I have State Farm, as well ("we must be connected...") 100k/300k/100k, since that coverage is so cheap.
The expensive one is Uninsured Motorist. That parameter alone is half my premium. 25k/person; 50k/accident; 250 ded. on that one parameter.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems that this would be the most important... Chances are you're not going to do *all* that much damage to someone else (since chances are they'll be in a car).
However, if you T-bone a left-turner, and it's their fault, and *they* have no insurance... what then?

I never thought much of uninsured coverage since it is the law in MN to have coverage (and most states I think). Then my car was hit by a girl texting and w/o coverage.. :wtfgun: GRRRRR just want to :bitchslap: these people.

I had a bar end mirror left from my FZ6R that I forgot I was using on my bicycle...
Took the mirrors on the 8 off and threw on the bar end mirror and love it! Those antenna mirrors had to go bad. Found some plastic hole plugs from the hardware store that work perfectly for the old mirror locations.
Looks much meaner now. Very happy with it. Next will be the rear fender. Most likely on Christmas though as the wife wants to use that stuff as presents. Works for me.

Looking good! Using the mods as Christmas presents is a good idea, hmmmm...

JSP: The bar end mirror looks good.. Looks like the bike was supposed to have them it looks so natural. NICE!!
Michael: That is a VERY nice Christmas gift.. Yeah I dont think I could complain on that! LOL (Though not so much of a peace & goodwill to man symbol)

Yeah, my wife complains I'm hard to shop for when birthday/Christmas comes around because if I want something I just go buy it. I've had to start giving her a list of what I want and promising not to buy what's on the list till afterwards, ha ha.

LOL.. Same thing here in both aspects.. (If I have the money for what I want.. I have a very hard time waiting for birthday or christmas)!
