Hi all. My name is Matt. I have had my eye on an FZ8 for a couple months now. I have been riding for a couple of years on a 1992 Honda CB750. Looking to upgrade this spring hopefully.

Well, I definitely am looking to buy used with low miles. Buying a bike new might have its advantages, but the price tag outweighs them. Other than craigslist, FZ8 forums, and cycletrader, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find a low mileage FZ8 (under 5,000 miles) 2010-2011 model?

I haven't seen but 2 used for sale, one shleeve had listed on here and another wrecked I have bought a few pieces off on ebay. I have seen them on ebay for 6900 I think. Other than that wait a few more months, I am sure one will pop up again!

give it another season and you might find one. They just hit the states last year, and naked is still catching on.

I might have found one on craigslist in my general vicinity. 2011 Model with 300 miles. I got a reply from the owner, now just waiting on some more pics.
