The Yamaha FZ8 is a tough looking all-rounder which is designed
to sit in the middle of the FZ6 and FZ1 models.
Powering the Yamaha FZ8 is a 779cc inline 4-cylinder engine
which produces 105 hp @ 10,000 rpm and 82.0Nm of torque @ 8,000
rpm. The all-new engine combines new cylinder bodies, crankshaft,
top end and forged pistons. The engine is designed to offer
a wide torque band which starts early and builds to a sportsbike-like
rush of power.
The black, powdercoated aluminium Deltabox frame forms the structural
centre of the Yamaha FZ8. It is coupled with 43mm telescopic
forks up front, and a monoshock at the rear which is adjustable
or preload.
The 2011 Yamaha FZ8 is available in three colors; white, blue
or black. It can be ordered with or without a fairing and windshield.
ABS is an optional extra.

Yamaha FZ8 official brochure information:
Aggressive looks and aggressive character define the new Yamaha
FZ8 - a high performance real world sports bike designed to
deliver a shot of adrenaline every time you turn the key.
At the heart of the FZ8 is a flexible and powerful 779cc engine
with instant drive and torque at low revs, and a trademark Yamaha
rush of horsepower as you approach the red line. Light, easy
handling and roomy ergonomics round out the ultimate everyday
sports machine - and the optional ABS system makes hard braking
safe, whatever the conditions.
The FZ8 is not a bike for beginners – it’s the naked sportsbike
with true attitude and the power to back it up.
Yamaha’s FZ range packages supersports performance into a versatile
chassis for everyday enjoyment. The FZ8 breathes new life into
the mid-class bike category – for a more assertive machine with
instant grunt lower in the rev range.
The naked FZ8’s muscular stance alerts you to the fact that
this is a serious sports bike – and that light, fast handling
and instant, willing power encourages bad behavior and begs
you to explore its full potential every time you turn the throttle.
Ride it hard with confidence – the FZ8 packs attitude, adrenaline
and Yamaha’s renowned build and finish quality into a flexible
street sports machine for everyday performance riding. |
