Yahama Street triple

They already have the FZ8.  Why this now? 

Because it's almost a grand cheaper and over 50 lbs lighter?

Because the FZ8 engine was merely a sleeved-down version of the antique 5-valve engine in the FZ1?

I like it. But I don't love it. I'll still go test ride it when it comes out in September though. I think the looks can be vastly improved by replacing that headlamp with a classic round headlight.

Although if I was to replace my Monster with this, I think I'd miss the Duc. But then again, the little 620 is my first bike so I'm not sure what a triple is even like to ride.

I currently ride a Triple and I can say that it does take a while to get used to it. I missed the torque in the low end and the music a twin makes. I do have to say that I have grown to love my Trip, even if it's fugly.
