Been lightly modding so far.. Swapped out all turn signals and taillight, chopped off more of rear frame, tweaked the carbs, new battery, LED package, plasti-dipped belt covers, new sprocket cover, and maybe some other things..

Teaching myself things such as brake/clutch bleeding and carb jetting/tuning instead of wasting money on "Italian" service!

Great composition on that photo! Love it!

Very nice Chris! I want to get back on two wheels badly but I always got my self in trouble. I would ideal like a super-moto in the future.

Just got back into motorcycling after a 10 year hiatus. Bought this Yamaha FZ8 about a month ago. Here are pics from the day I rode her home from the dealer. Been busy modding it - of course!

Nice Cab! The FZ8's are so sweet, they were on my purchase radar along with the Monsters, ZRX 1200's, CB1000's, and Z1000's.

I will post pics of mine once it arrives, but here is what my new toy will look like. Dealership says it will be "sometime" in March before they get these in. Gotta love KTM...

I would have a hard time getting that thing dirty. I've never been a KTM fan but that bike looks amazing!! I think I would just park that bike in the living room. Do you know what number your getting?

They don't know what number i'm getting yet, I hope it's 22 (not a reed fan) but I probably won't be lucky enough to get one with that low of number. I've always wanted a KTM, and when I finally decided to buy another new one I looked at Honda and KTM and once I saw the Factory Edition I was sold instantly. I think I need to buy a spare set of plastics so I can take these off and not cry when I get the first scratch.

Can't beat a KTM. A lot more money than a Jap bike and 30 pounds less and you'll kick butt on the trails. Remember to check sprocket size that you use, hand guards, Tugger lift straps and skid plate. I modified my 450 EXC before it left the show room floor. Keep up the maintenance.

Happy trails......................

I would buy a spare set of plastic too. I did this with my last bike; looked new when I sold it. Good luck on getting the number you want.
