Welcome back, to the best hobby in the world (in my opinion)!! I'm sure you"ll love your new FZ8, sounds like you already have got some good mods in mind, Good luck with the rest of your purchase.

Just curious, what kind of bike(s) have you been riding?

Over a few years before the long break i had a gsxr 750 followed by a R1 decided to get away from the total sports style this time as at 41 i,m getting a little old , tested a few bikes from the 650 bandit gsr 750 and the speed tripple i have to say seemed to ride almost the same but its the styling of the yamaha that won the day in the end , have heard comments about the tyres not being to great so will change them i think when the bike is run in .

regards jess
