1:13 I was hoping you'd say
"Holy shit, you can flick this bike aRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEAAALLLL good."
lol, if only I was this guy named bakerXderek I might have...but alas I am some measly vlogger in Georgia. =)
now you two need to switch bikes for a ride :)
Flick this bike REEEEEAAAAAAAAL goood, like a REEEEAAAALL biker. Brah ur comment is gold
To all the people saying FZ8 was made obsolete by the MT-07 and MT-09, no it didn't. It's a completely different bike than either of those 2. It's a road cruiser that can go fast if you want it to. But yeah Yamaha probably gave up of further developing it and that is a shame.
Luccas Faun Agreed I dust fz07s with my FZ8
CHANGE GEAR!
is gas that cheap up there?
I have a FZ8 as well and I love it. I put a Two Brothers exhaust on it and it sounds amazing.
Thanks for thinking about us and recording your first time on the FZ8. Shows you are always thinking about your subscribers.
Makes you stand out among the rest.
Always wanted an Fz8 and then I had seen that the Fz9 was in development. In that time i got my r6 and loved the hell out of it. I just recently sold my r6 and purchased an Fz9. The comfort of an Fz8, the power of a much bigger bike.
I just go this bike two weeks ago and I love it! Great in the turns and a whole lot of torque. Mad fun bike for sure.
rustyrides600 how is the bike man ?
Tired of seeing me ride an R6? Here's a first ride on my buddies FZ8!
FZ8 First Ride!!
duuuuuuuude 100,000 subs yay
What was lamramkin thinking of your bike? Would be very interesting!
How does this compare to the FZ-07?
+chaseontwowheels how you like/compare the fz8 vs. fz-09, fj-09?
+chaseontwowheels FZ8, Gsxs 750, or street triple ?
Someone else actually lent you their bike?
Yea by best bud.
***** I saw his video also. I think its cool that both of you loved each others bike. I have the FZ8. Really wanna ride an R6
Nice ***** ! Looks like a great bike, just rode a KTM 990R Super Duke yesterday it was bad ass! Ill have a vid up for that soon, Thanks for sharing the FZ8
great info and comparison on both bikes.
That road looks awesome
I got to ride one last summer during a demo day. Such a nice bike!
You should head up here to sactown and come ride 193 , or 49 , or Berryessa !
Just picked up an FZ-09 on Tuesday, super eager to get it out this weekend and find out what she can do. Hopefully it's at least as good as the FZ-08 from the vid.
That road looks like a blast👍
Does it feel strange having a more upright riding position(especially canyon riding) coming from the R6? -K
The R6 sounds lovely!
i absolutely love my fz8
How was your helmet with not having a windshield on the FZ-8. I have a street fighter and was thinking about getting the icon variant. Just wondering how the visor would feel with no wind protection
When you get a new bike, do you buy it new from like dealerships or do you buy them used?
Stop at TWO in Suches. I'm glad that place is back open. Good lunch for reasonable price.
Hey guys what do you think about the FZ8 vs the FZ-09 or the FZ-07? does the FZ8 still compete?
Sounded so weird had like an electric sound to pretty crazy. I love naked bikes though. You should check out the fz09
474 more subs! Almost 100k sir! And my Monster turns/handles like a dirt bike, its crazy :-P
That was some serious lean time!! I'm going to have to try a sport bike some day!!
Pretty sweet ride man!
I must admit, I'm impressed, Chase is actually a very good rider. Good lines.
I love how you mention the mid range of the bike when you were below 6k. The power just starts to kick in at 6k on the FZ8. I've never ridden an R6, but now my expectations are lower!
Hey, Chase. Watched way more of your videos than I care to admit, but I'm currently looking for a new bike (sold my last one, then the one I was going to buy, the seller got cold feet) and I was looking at the FZ-07. Do you know anyone that has one or have any thoughts on it?
Congratz on 100k = )
were you using the gear box? 🤔
I just wanted to let ya know I'm so friggin glad I found your channel, you keep it real without being cocky about it! your videos keep my crippled azz going Evey day. I'm on 100% disability & it doesn't pay to well so I'm dreaming about getting one of those 3 wheel motorcycles you did a review on. I haven't got to ride since 2005, good god I miss it every day, you know it's in our blood!!!! 👌 😎 be safe! later
I had an fz8 last year and changed it for a street triple, but let me tell you i miss the comfort level of the fz8. Even thought the triple is more agile and lighter my fz8 had more torque and looked more muscular. What i wish the fz8 had is
-ABS I Have more peace of my knowing that i have it
- better tires i slipped a lot with the battlax 016.
- i found myself looking for another gear when i was in 6th gear.
What i wish my street triple r has: a better seat my butt and lower back hurts me after 30 min and being skinny i don't have a lot of natural padding
- a little more torque those 10 lbs of torque make a big difference.
- the fz8 4 cylinder sounds better
- the 22k valve adjustment of the fz8
Overall the street triple has more quality equipment but with a few changes on suspension and tires on the fz8 i wouldn't miss anything of the triple
FZ8 is a really nice bike. Dig it.
You rode FZ8 and newer. Sv650. Which would you pick today?
Got yesterday a fz8 with c2w sticker logo on the front, was that your bike?
I see you like the trip up Blood Mountain. You might try taking the ride down the back side of the mountain to the Mountain Parkway to Blue Ridge. You can pick up State Road 60 across two mountains on some some of the best twisties through the valley, to Suches, and on to US 19 at the Junction of US129. That 60 miles through Suches is some of the best road changes you'll find in Georgia.
The FZ8 is a lot of bike for the money and if you put an arrow header and a power commander in her she will run much stronger with way better low end torque. Worth every penny.
Meeeeee :D
those triples do sound nice!
It looks like it would be fun to ride. Seems very maneuverable.
Will you make a review of fz8 with the fairing? :D
Buy one!!😍😍
i like how you can hear iamramekin revving the shit out that R6 through the whole video hahaha. great videos both of you. Im surprised you hadn't switched sooner.
I am still riding one of these babies! haha have a few things done to it however. Do have videos on it
How tall are you, Chase? I'm not sure I can ride an r6 because of my height :(
Amazing bike
your R6 sounds awesome
I really like this video! Please make more videos like this!
You mean first ride videos?
***** yes please
seems like you are not counter steering at all, or is it just the camera view
Hey bro it was cool meeting yall and hanging the other night. We all need to go ride soon!
I liked my FZ8. Traded it for a FZ-09. wish I could have keep both, but the 9 is a more enjoyable ride IMO.
Im saving up for an FZ6! Super sweet.
Chase can you do a video about Jackie? We miss her but how's the recovery going and have you heard anything from the cops/insurance?
0:10 😂😂You guys are crazy 😂💀
nice road (Y) good driving chase ;)
the FZ8 looks like a really fun bike! I've tried the new FZ-09 and that thing was incredible and extremely fast!!!, Can't wait till the day I ride blood mountain, when I get my new truck I'm gunna road trip down there
are you talking about the mt-09 ? D:
+TrackStriker
MT09 and the FZ09 are the exact same bikes. US calls them FZs and Europe calls them MTs.
ahhh, thanks alot :) Didn't know that.
You passed me in this video!!!!! The jeep that you go by was me!!!!!!
DAMN! Thats a nice bike ;)
It's a shame that Yamaha gave up on this bike so soon.
@@big-k-7.62. Yamaha doesn't make them anymore though. At least in the US anyway.
@@big-k-7.62. That is correct. They make the MT07, MT09, and MT10. They do not make an FZ8 anymore though. Or as it would now be considered the MT8.
so chase now that you have ridden both the fz8 and the r6 which do you think would be a better 1st bike? i want to buy one in july and i want something that will be fast yet good for commuting.
If you need a bike as sole transportation or commuting I would not recommend any super sport. You can try a sv650, fz8 and others are more sport touring.
i am looking for something in between but i have now decided on a used kawasaki z1000, i wont need to buy a bike after having that cause it has plenty of power yet is comfortable.
Yea. But it is still a 1,000 don't get me wrong you can learn to ride it but I would not recommend a liter bike with an in line 4 cylinder for your first bike. Do the research on any 650 or an sv 650. That 1000 is a much bigger bike and your skill set is not good enough to ride such a heavy bike. Not saying that it is impossible. I started with gear 759 but I had plenty of motorcycle experience. I believe that power is too much for a person who has never ridden before and the weight of the bike will cause major problems for a beginner. 6ou will not be able to flick and turn the bike like you would on a sv650. Better handling and much more forgiving. Please do much more research and you will realize that a 1000 even if is not a 1000r super bike. Do some reading i know that big bike will cause you trouble. Good luck and take this into consideration.
I think chase would love some New Zealand roads, all we have are bends!
We sure do
They are wonderful bikes :) cheap too!
congrats on being a boss 1000k
Awesome video dude. You should included your friend opinion of your bike.
Wanted to hear what he thinks of a supersport.
that Ride looks Awesome
good video!
can anyone show me the difference between a 2014 fz07 or a 2016 fz07. i can't seem to find any. all the specs are the same. ik im in a diff page or video to post but laziness takes me a long way
looks different
It's an awesome bike
Damm just sold my zx6r yesterday to pay off my tuition from last semester since things got tight! But my next bike willl be an fz8! Those are sexy asf
2:39 Peg scrape? ;)
Nice. I'm lookin to jump on a used 2013 fz8. Great ride footage
Shawn Reedy I have a 13 and I love it. Did you ended up getting one?
kenneth turner I’m looking to get 2012 fz8 I’m about 6’3 does anyone fit on any bike?
Antony Burgos I know it’s a little late, but I’m literally purchasing insurance for a 2012 model as I type this. I’m six foot even and I can flat foot the bike just fine. But there is no bend in my knees at all. I think you’ll fit just fine on one.
@@antonyburgos9871 I bought one five months ago, I'm 5'6 and I'm fine on it. Amazing bike
@@antonyburgos9871 not sure if you got one already but i am also 6'3" and got FZ8 2 years ago and it feels just right .....not problems at all when it comes to height. It's feels bigger than other bikes in that category.
I just posted a clip of my FZ1 the funniest bike I have riden . I scrape the pegs on most corners or bump the center stand but you can still lean the bike over pretty far ( no chicken strips on my tires)
Get the ecu flashed on the fz8 and different rear sets makes the bike much different.
lxcast vortex rear sets
I have my fz8 with every bolt on performance mod and a custom tune and it made 112whp and it will keep up with a gsxr750 up to 120-130mph and then my gearing runs out lol it topped out at 159mph on gps
ramekin tapping that limiter when we was passing you lol revs just a tad bit quicker
You should see if you can get an FZ09 test ride, that bike seems fucking awesome.
Try the Triumph Street Triple next! :)
What the heck I can load any video on youtube, but It won't load this one...
I thought that was Matt that blazed past you at the 7:31 mark.
nice. Run. great weather....miss.riding.badly.
Is Blood Mtn close to Dahlonega? Been too many years since I lived there.
yep, its very close actually. I would guess about a 20 min ride?
nice. used to live in Smyrna when I was a kid. Vaguely remember Lake Altoona and Lanier...nice to see some of the state 'through your eyes'...
Is that your knee plate dragging on some of the turns?
No that was one of the foot pegs.
Holy shit. Shift already.
Niiiice corners
Aa I was the 100,000 sub! Watching loads of your vids, I love em
Is that an r32 on your picture or a 1.8t
your R6 sounds sweet when matt passed you
You liked the FZ8, that's why they don't make them anymore. :)
Holy shit the R6 sounds beautiful!!!
Almost 100k
WHEN CAN I MEET CHASE lol. :( IM LEARNING HOW TO RIDE; when you gonna RECORD down in the NYC :)
1:23 Human Power!
Haha I have an fz8. Thx for the love!
Nice video man. I I also own a Fz8 for 2 years now and I'm pleased with it. I had a Hornet 600 2009 and I must admit that the 800cc engine does make the difference comparing to the Honda. It's not too big as a 1000 and not too small. It is just what I like and need for my style of riding. Be safe and keep the videos coming!
What road is this if anyone knows?
iamramekin thx will need to get on this soon
what was that sound at 2:40?
I know my Fz07 has foot peg "feelers" on the bottom that extend down an inch or so i think he touched it down to the road
He hit the peg.
Who else got the notification on their phone and immediatly watched the video xD. Lov the vids bro
I did lol !and its 5 am!!!!!
Here :)
+1, way to start the morning
Its 2:15 P.M in denmark
I was playing a game on my phone saw the email. Exited the game and came to UA-cam Realll quick
900 more subscribers to go!!!
Keepin' it Yammie, ahhh yahh... :D
I like the fz-09 better. Still good to see you on a naked bike!
Ride an MT-09. I think it's called FZ-09 in the states. Another huge step in front of the FZ8. And after that, try a Supermoto, like KTM 690 SMC-R. ;)
Except for the track you're not gonna like the R6 that much, anymore. :)
You really need to ride a FZ-09. Triple torque and very nimble.
Trust me I really want to!
