Hi everyone, I live in Baltimore and will be picking up an fz8 next week. Current bike is a 1981 xs400, but it's too temperamental for my commute so I went with the fz8. I figured it's reliable, suitable for commuting on terrible city roads, and fast/fun for the weekends.

So yeah, looking forward to reading up on mods and things like that. Thanks!

It is a pretty good commuter. That's what I use it for. 100 miles a day. Welcome to the forum, and good luck sleeping thinking about picking up your new bike. =)

Nice upgrade from the 400. You might be surprised at how crappy the fuel economy on the 800 is compared to what you're used to on the 30-hp XS. You might also be surprised at how must faster it is

Welcome.

Did you get some bad ink? Is it going to your head? Do we need to call the grammar nazi on you?
