How does Yamaha cash back work? Do dealers include this in their advertised selling price or would this be separate? For anyone with experience with Yamaha financing--do they tend to be a picky lender, decent rates, etc.?

Part of my research for a bike has led me to considering these once I get a bike. I haven't seen anything like this anywhere the motodynamic has been mentioned. I hope the company can offer a good resolution for you. Please let us know what they say--it may sway which system I go with in the...

Sorry for the delay, No I have not yet bought it yet--although I wasn't expecting to just yet. From the discussion I feel better about choosing the 8 if I can get one for the price mentioned in the initial post. there was one listed for that amount before, but that one was sold. Another dealer...

Ha! I will definitely remove the crazy tail/plate holder thing. The government should allow them to clean that up from the get-go rather than having everyone pay to do it anyways.

So...is there a difference between the 11/12 and the 13 or no? For those that got an 11 or 12, was the ecu upgrades expensive and did you find it a noticeable and/or necessary improvement?

Can anyone comment on the engine/throttle response for the 2013? Is there a difference from the 11 and 12 year models or was that more marketing from Yamaha than anything?

@ goonanc prices on those bikes out here are about double. I have a thing for the 599, but the one thing I didn't like about my MSF class was having to play with the valves to keep the engine from stalling out. someone mentioned the sv650--I didn't like that bike looks wise, but I do think...

I have taken and passed the MSF and have a great deal of gear already. I started there first and highly recommend others to do so too. The class was very fun (at least the riding part) and the classroom part is at least full of info that could save you down the road (why do I say that as if it's...

Yes I was thinking along these lines as well. I mentioned the price earlier b/c I could get an 2013 FZ8 CHEAPER than I could an FZ-07 or even the cb500f I mentioned before. I would finance rather than pay out the bike and where I live people tend to run things into the ground before selling so...

Ouch guys, I didn't get quoted anything near what you all are talking--even for the race bikes mentioned.

Nice!

@Marthy--good stuff! Can you do a similar breakdown between the FZ8 and Fz-07? Everyone else feel free to chime in as well.

Please let us know how the akra works out for you. Is it possible to drill out the stuck part?

@Banky--thanks for the reply, but if possible please explain why you feel those would be better choices(there isn't a wrong answer to that btw). For those mentioning the FZ6--that would be an option except my better half prefers I find something new instead of used. Since that response...

Hi all, I am new and want to buy a bike soon. That said I'd like opinions from people that actually ride this bike before I put down cash. I personally like the look of the fz8 best; the next best look would be fz-07 and last the fz-09. I have not had a chance to see the 07 in person, but the...
