Hey everyone!

Someone on Reddit recommended this forum to be a while ago and I just found it hidden in my tabs, I had completely forgotten about it.
I'm really looking forward to sharing experiences with the FZ8 with all of you! I have a 2013 FZ8 that I have been riding for about a year now, upgraded from a Ninja 250 and I have never looked back. This bike is the best I could have hoped for!
Here is my ride

And a beauty shot

I was in Seattle about August of last year (business), and really liked a lot of what I saw.

First off the search engine sucks so just look around or ask. We have a great bunch of members here and we all share the same passion for riding and modding.

Welcome! I used to visit Seattle 4 times a year. We had our division meetings up there. Used to stay at the Coast Hotel right next to the airport. I swear in my 6 or 7 years visiting, I never once got caught in rain. Was always gorgeous up there. And the roads...........

echotangofz8: Hello everyone, I've had my 2013 FZ8 for a couple of months and around 300-400 miles. I came from a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 650 (pretty good bike for it's day) and I'm slowly getting used to the sportiness and more power that the FZ8 brings. Apr 3, 2021 1:55:54 GMT 10

zen: Looking for any kind of passenger grab bar that is not a tank bolt on. Even a rear luggage rack would be probably be OK. COME BACK TO LIFE! Mar 12, 2021 8:36:55 GMT 10
