[Richard-BKK]

The Yamaha FZ8 not much information is currently available, but I'm packing and will be at the launch party. So information is coming soon.

Lovely bike but the price here in LOS will put most buyers off I suspect.

Another commuter bike?

Yes sir, another commuter bike that should hold it's own with everything up to a litre.....except a Fireblade or R1!

I agree, it looks cool and practical, but also very capable with the aluminum frame, older USD forks, and brake calipers which were standard R6 fare not too long ago.

When you compare it to other Japanese commuters like the Bandit and Gladius: this looks to be a performer.

I too would love to see the WR250X (and especially DRZ400SM) officially dealt here.

I think a 30-40hp motard would be the perfect Bangkok bike.

Narrow enough to split lanes, nimble, and quick.

Sadly almost every DRZ I've seen advertised is illegal and/or overpriced due to scarcity.

Actually my teeny Nouvo Elegance works perfectly for Bangkok but I'm still a fertile man and want a faster bike with some balls.

I hope the upcoming Motor Show will reveal lots of new options for all of us.
