Is the FZ8 a good touring platform?

Though designed to be a naked sportbike, the Yamaha FZ8 has earned a reputation among some riders as a capable sport-tourer. As a result, its suitability for long distance rides and multi day trips has been debated. Its comfortable ergonomics and smooth engine, along with decent wind protection (with aftermarket screens) is what proponents argue makes it a great all rounder. Its lack of factory luggage options and relatively small fuel tank are drawbacks for serious touring, say the critics. The talk is usually about ways to improve the FZ8 as a tourer, with aftermarket seats, luggage solutions, and ergonomics changes being a topic that comes up often. The FZ8 is compared to purpose built sport tourers and riders discuss if the FZ8's versatility makes it a better option for those who want one bike that can do it all. There were plenty of personal experiences with long trips on the FZ8 that are shared, with its strong and weak points as a touring platform.

In fact, it’s surprisingly good for touring. You can sit upright for hours without feeling sore.
