2011 YAMAHA reviews

Beautiful bike handles wonderful I’ve loved Yamaha from the beginning so I finally bought one. I bought this bike brand new and it has just been a great bike to ride. The only beef I have with it is that it is sometimes uncomfortable on long haul you’re in an extremely forward café position. It’s aggressive position to ride in. Great for the track but not the most comfortable for long holes. Performance is excellent qualities excellent reliabilities is excellent. Never had a mechanical issue at all starts every time bike took good care of me I owned it for 10 years, I would definitely buy Yamaha again Show less

Best bike for over all power. cross plane motor sound is amazing truly out of the box fastest 1000cc made. So easy to control, wheelies nearly every gear factory settings, minior tune and pipes just open this bike up unbelievable Show less

should have 6 speed tranny and a 6 gallon gas tank Show less

I was amazed as I pulled away from the dealership and rode this scooter home! It has quick, strong acceleration and a smooth, stable ride all the way up to 40 mph. I love this scoot! I like how it provides a bigger profile in traffic than my Honda Met and a lot more leg room than the Honda Ruckus that I had for a first scooter. A grocery peg would have been nice but I can't complain about the generous storage. The fat tires make it versatile for some rougher back road riding, which I'm prone to do. I am very pleased and find myself riding this one over my larger scooter because it's just a blast to ride! Sad that Yamaha has discontinued this model. If you see one go get it! For a 49cc it can't be beat! It's great for both shorter and tall riders and has a very comfortable seat. Show less

I moved to this bike after riding the following: 2004 R1 (with 50,000 miles) 2009 R1 2009 R6 After getting sick of the riding position of the sportbikes on the street, I decided to go this route. I couldn't be happier. The FZ8 is a great bike all around. It's designed for the street with increased low end torque as well as plenty of snap on the top end. The riding position and comfort makes this bike the perfect commuter bike or weekend warrior machine! Show less

It has great handling and outstanding power. The gearing is something I had to get used to. Shifting into 5th at 55/60 mph. was significantly different for me. It's very comfortable. I have a passenger on the back and she loves it. It's the best price! I have been in a couple motorcycle runs, and have had a lot of interested people in this bike when it was all stock. Show less

I just bought it but I'm already enjoying it. It rides smooth, is pretty quick and the acceleration on corners is great. Dee at the dealership traded me out of a V-Rod! The staff was great to do business with. I miss my V-Rod's pure hp, but for my needs, this bike should be great. The only drawbacks I see are the wind affects it and it is too tall. Thanks to Dee, Rick and Krista! Show less

I bought this bike after totalling a Monster and could not be happier with my decision. A comfortable riding position, plenty of power, and good suspension make it the perfect all-around bike. It's good for commuting and the "spirited" rides on the weekends. Show less

This bike flows and jumps beautiful. It goes up hill, climbs like a dream and is reliable. I went up a 75 degree slope. Its engine runs clean and like a dream. This is the best bike for 11-to-12-year-olds and it's freaky fast. Show less

It is surprisingly fun and fast. It has great storage space and just a great ride. Show less
