Bought a Yamaha Fazer 8

I'm keeping the ninjette for trackdays in the summer and for when my girlfriend wants to start riding

However, this is my new baby The power is just fenomenal. In first gear you can feel the front wheel is barely touching the ground at WOT
Yet you can turn it on a dime and cruise at ease. The perfect bike to me

It's equipped with a top case, not shown in the photo's. Very useful in my situation

Is that the half faired version of the FZ8 naked bike that sold in the US for a couple years?

Great bike! Wish I could've picked up a black fazer. Mine is the classic Yamaha blue.

Yes

I love the look of naked bikes as they are. But the moment someone sits on it, it seems odd to me. Same when riding it, I need something to look at in front of me

The color makes a great difference in how it looks. I always liked colorful and flashy bikes. But to me, this one has to be black or else the front seems so weird...
