logo or no logo, the color tone is wrong, it's a fake put it this way, if u dunno who is selling what on ebay, u have ~90% chance of buying a fake.
On first impression - this seem to be real. However.. hmm.. after i go over it several times.. i feel something wrong.. and wanna really make sure 100% that this is fake so that I could return it...
Well, it sorta does sorta doesn't. The date code looks fine, but the serial is way off. Can't tell about the other features coz the pics aint going.

I think your racket is fake. These considerations make me think that it's a fake: 1. the gold color in the frame is very shiny. The real racket has this gold color, but it's not shiny; 2. no special grommets (2 pairs) in the bottom of the frame (near the joint between shaft and frame); 3. real rackets have a different grip, the grip has red dots combination. If you can return it, I suggest you to do so. I hope this helps.
Blinan, (org indo toh?... lol) Yeah I bought this racquet in eBay. Hopefully, the racquet could be refunded ASAP. until then, I have no intention to make this matter worse (publish the seller information). there is also clear visible logo of PBSI (Persatuan Bulu Tangkis Indonesia)
Iya, dari Indonesia... I have seen a real NS8000 and a fake one side by side. They looked almost the same and the fake one had the PBSI logo as well, but the fake one didn't have the Sunrise hologram sticker. However, I think the Sunrise hologram sticker can only be seen on SP coded Yonex rackets.
