Ducati monster. I nearly got myself the 796 but couldn't justify spending that much money on a bike that is so expensive to maintain. I still think it's the sexiest bike ever designed though! Also the husqvarna nuda 900r... Apparently I have weird taste :P

Greetings fellow Perth Fz8's!

Not too bad at all :-)

Thanks man!

Anyone know what kind of battery the FZ8 uses? I know nothing about batteries and thought I'd start here before trying to find the info online. I'm away for work at the moment (middle of the desert in the Northern territory of Australia - so boring out here!), and want to get mine replaced so...

Filmed just about every ride since getting the camera too.

I have a gopro hero2 and am pretty damn happy with it. I like the chest mount the best so far because you can see everything your hands get up to while you're riding and still have a good view in front of the bike. I should really cover up my speedo though ;) Can you guys recommend any movie...

There is a lot of nice bikes in this thread! One of these rode past me yesterday while I was walking on the side of the road. It sounded amazing, not over-the-top loud, but just a very sexy note. Ducati is Italian for sex, yeah?

I'm not into Harley's much but out of all of them I kinda like the '48' is that part of the sportster range? That blackbird would be pretty cool also. Can't take my eyes off this thing though... It's ugly I know, but the kind of ugly where you just know she fucks like a pornstar ;)

I have a confession to make, I have a thing for the Husqvarna Nuda 900r. Please don't tell my FZ8. You guys been "checking out" any other rides?

Finally got the parts I needed after my little crash and Yamaha Australia raped my bank account, but she looks good as new! Might even leave the Yamaha badges off the tank shroud. Even though they cost me $30aus each, cheers Yamaha. Fuckers.

Yamaha Australia took their time, but I'm picking up all my new parts today! Today is a good day.

Decided to just buy the tank shroud through Yamaha, and get the rest repaired. I found a few decent auto paint repair places here that look like they do a good job. I didn't know they could fix scratched headlight lenses. Paint repairs and replacement tank shroud is still going to set me back...

Here's the prices I got from Yamaha. 39P-83559-00-P0 $234.00 COVER, METER (in white) - White plastic part that goes over the speedo. HEADLIGHT ASSY $502.00 - Clear headlight lens. 99999-04001-00 $325.00 COVER, TOP SET (in white) - White plastic cover that goes over the fuel tank...

Man the black version would look seriously awesome with gold wheels. Even better if the gold exactly matched the forks. *light globe appears above my head*

I don't know about you, but my stack (even though it was minor) scared me enough to have more respect for the bike. Which is definitely a good thing! Sucks so bad to see my baby all scratched up though... Haha

My hand's not too bad, just a decent chunk taken out of the palm. I work in the mining industry here in Australia and they're obsessed with safety, so I've been getting the medic to redress it everyday. He does a much better job than I would! Will be wearing gloves for every ride from now on...

Cheers I've found that tank shroud for around $130-$150 on American websites, but can't find it anywhere in white, can't find a white version of the part that goes over the speedo either. The front fender is black so I can get that cheaper from the US. I've also found the headlight cover for...

Haha cheers mate! It went something like this in my head "oh yeah you can hear the difference sounds throatier, wtf? WTF!?' BANG! I'll check out some websites, the one you posted seems pretty good. Hopefully I don't have to donate to the golden Yamaha toilet seat fund!

Dude, I know how your feeling. Did pretty much the same thing yesterday. Glad your ok!
