Fz8 for beginners

[@sergiumarian8966]

Yeah. This motorcycle can be for begginers. This is my first motorcycle and i love it. ❤️

[@dannggokies9129]

You picked a great bike.

[@ryanvandermiller3756]

Same I love it I’ve had mine for about 5 years now and it’s still a beast

[@austinhatz]

I picked up my first fz8 in June and I love every bit of it. At first it felt really fast but after a few weeks in the saddle you get used to it.

[@dannggokies9129]

They are great bikes. Be safe out there.🤙

@@dannggokies9129 i am looking to buy my first bigger bike… and I also like fz8.Is it smart to be the first one? I have 38 years… i was driving a little some bikes of 125 ccm

​@@vladimirmilinovic6175is big, fast and heavy compared to a 125 or 250/300.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

​@@vladimirmilinovic61751:37 in 2nd gear he goes from 40mph to 110mph in a few seconds. 220kilos. Rapid acceleration, can you brake and turn such a momentum if a car pulls in front of you, or is on their phone etc? Will you have restraint, skill etc? In Europe we are restricted for 2 years to reduced power.

Before I even got my license, I got a 2012 FZ8, used but greatly looked after. Really a blast, does fast but is not overly so, handleable, compact, a real fun bike to ride as my firstie.

[@inklip33]

Bought my 2011 FZ8 brand new in 2010. It was first street bike. It’s completely stock. Such a fun bike to ride. Great for riding around town and a blast on the twisties. Never plan on parting with it.

[@dannggokies9129]

My wife has taken it over and she allows me to rip on it a little.. it’s not going anywhere.

[@jamespeddycord79]

Have a 2011 FZ8 i brought alittle over 4 years ago from the original owner. only had 7200 miles on it. Was my first bike and absolutely love it.

[@sopretentious]

Oh man, the luxury of an empty, open road. I love my FZ8. Enjoy your rides!

[@michaelclark8278]

I have a 2015 FZ8 as my first "proper" bike, love it. It goes like the wind if that's what you're into.

[@francismatawaranable]

I got 2012 fz08 awesome motorcycle!!very rare to find one nowadays.

[@FZ1RIDER]

I don't have a fz8 but I do have a fz1 and it's been one of my favorite bikes to own.

[@jdanko94]

My first street bike I rode off road and had a dual sport for 18months before getting the 2013 version of this bike and loved every second although it had weird radiator problem where it would start to overhear in traffic… guy I sold it to said he sorted it with a flush and hose change

[@dariannimeck2178]

Gotta love the fz8, grew up riding dirt bikes and got a DRZ 400 super moto as a first road bike then bought a fz8 off my dad and have been riding that ever since, very nimble and has very good control at high speeds. Been happy with the bike from day one

[@wrkings]

Nice video mate, considering one of these

[@mikep996]

I put 5000 miles on mine last year....I had an absolute blast.!!

It’s easy to do on these bikes…

I'm looking at one for my first bike. I'm a big guy at about 6'1 330, so I wanted something that could handle my big butt and not struggle.

I'm getting a 2012 model at a steal and I'm hoping it rides as good as you make it look

[@dannggokies9129]

Practice and they are awesome bikes.

I'm going today to get the same bike was gonna get 2014 cbr1000rr my girl don't want me to get it saying it's to much bike but it's not my first bike I've had a gsxr 750 but I really like the fz8 it looks like a good bike

[@dannggokies9129]

I had an 07 cbr1000rr and loved it but the fz8 was nice because of handle bar position.

[@3RRORCU8E]

Im looking to get my first. Thank you for this very insightful video.

Great review of the bike better than most

[@wepaboi]

Loving the handlebars! Did you need to mess about with the wiring/harnesses to get the handle bars to fit?

[@dannggokies9129]

No bolt right on.

I see one w 11k miles for 5k. Good deal?

[@benrob4963]

Great vid man!! I’ve got an Fz-8 that I’m restoring! Could you do me a huge favor?? Could you link what bars you put on the bike?? I can’t find any that are a good fit for mine! Plus! If I could ask you more questions about the bike! That way I know what is a normal finding and that way I can fix more things on mine! Thanks!!

[@dannggokies9129]

They were on the bike when I bought it but they renthal bars. They are a little wider than stock.

I just bought a 2013 FZ8 for 6500 10k miles on it i really love the bike its exactly how you explained it its perfect for both worlds nice cruzer and fast when you want it. Idk why they stopped making the FZ8. Also I never see them on the road are they kinda rare ?

I’ve had the 2013 model for just over a year now for my first bike I love it, and also do you like the puig windscreen and does it make a good difference for the bike?

[@dannggokies9129]

The windscreen is great. Instead of wind hitting you in the stomach it will hit you in the chest and can tuck behind it pretty good.

[@oliverlachkovic2174]

​@@dannggokies9129I was also curious about the windscreen. I did get Fz8 few weeks ago as my first bike! Now that I know the windscreen works great. Is there any reason why you chose clear version over tinted one? Other than aesthetics? Thank youu

@@Jake_203 yes mate must admit the power was a grin factor but being a little older now the sit up style of the Fazer is easy isn’t it… turns on a 5 pence and still a bit of power , enough to kill yourself still 😎. The Fazer thousand was good too

[@bevbiltgarage9791]

I wouldn't want recommend you the fz8 to a new or novice rider. Not because of the power or performance of it but because bikes like this are far less forgiving than a mt03 mt07 r3 etc, which are designed to be easier to ride so you can get the experience required to get something like a fz8 mt09 mt10 etc as your next bike.. don't rush it by going for a bike that will teach you the hard way when you can get a lot better as a rider on a more suitable bike

[@dannggokies9129]

The bike is easy to ride and can last a rider a lifetime. Not everyone is the same.

[@bevbiltgarage9791]

@@dannggokies9129 it's a great bike but I don't think it's a beginner bike for a novice, I've had a fz8 and I really like them, I just think a novice is better suited to a R3 or mt07

Nice demonstration!! I was really debating between this and the 919 Honda. I ended up with a 919 just because of the classic style but i almost went for the fz8. Good sound and good all rounder! How is the reliability and maintenance on Fz8
