Hello all, new to the site. I just got my 2011 FZ8 on January 26 after looking at them for a day or two. I came from a 2001 GSXR600 and 2005 SV650S. With the SV, I found myself enjoying long rides more - that is what attracted me to the FZ8. I look forward to long rides on is bike. I have a few ideas on some mods and look forward to sharing them with the site.

The SV was an awesome bike. I really liked the V-Twin engine. I had the S model - the fairing and windscreen really helped with blasts of air.
