2010 Yamaha FZ8 Review Price And Pictures

2010 Yamaha FZ8 Headlight

A 779cc agent acquired from the FZ1 donk is the brilliant of the show, with a complete FZ1 anatomy and swingarm as well. The new agent makes decidedly added torque than the abate FZ6 for a gruntier, added attainable ability ambit about boondocks - but builds to a advantageous 105-horsepower top end blitz back it's time to get a ankle on.

2010 Yamaha FZ8 Sport Bike

Features

Aside from having a few similarities to FZ1 and FZ6, the 2011 Yamaha FZ8 still possesses original features. A newly designed fuel-injected 4-cylinder engine makes this a unique bike.

Brakes

The FZ8 has twin front disc brake specs that were nearly identical at 310mm, and a single 267mm disc. Both of these were pinched by a four-piston front and single-piston rear calipers.

Engine

Another great thing that Yamaha did to the FZ8 was its 779cc engine. This engine has the power to deliver 106.2 hp at 10,000 rpm and 60.8 ft-lb of torque at 8,000 rpm. It has two injectors per cylinder, accompanied by a generous 7.8L air box and asymmetrical intake manifolds. The engine’s two inner cylinders generate more torque and the two outers focus more on power.

Power Delivery

The FZ8’s power delivery is a big advantage for all riders. The off the line grunt is delivered from as low as 3500RPM and, below 6,000RPM, this bike responds with a smooth and fluid power delivery. These features were intended to produce a strong bottom end power development to make the FZ8 user-friendly.

Design

The 2011 FZ8 model is equipped with a front cowl and screen. A short muffler, narrow tank, and a 3-part tank cover are some of the aspects that make the FZ8 stand out among its siblings while the black side parts, colored tank, and headlight unit add a strong-looking detail. All in all, the bike looks fast even when it’s standing still. This could be due to the fact that the bike has a sensually curved diamond frame and muscular 4-cylinder engine.

The riding position is sporty, but comfortable, with a seat height of 815mm and a narrow tank which gives the rider good ground access.

Wheels

The FZ8’s wheels have five-spoke cast aluminium rims placed on a 120/70 ZR17 tire for the front and a 180/55 ZR17 for the rear. This gives the bike outstanding ride feel, grip, and cornering performance.

As stated above, the 2011 Yamaha FZ8 is a combination of the great and popular features being utilized in the earlier bikes released by Yamaha. With an MSRP of $10,499, the FZ8 is ideal for novice riders ready to step up from their training bikes, or for intermediate riders who are seeking "big bike" credit, near-sportbike grins in the twisties, and a hint of upright practicality.

As abounding accept suspected, the agent is absolutely a scaled-down adaptation of the fuel-injected 1000cc FZ1 engine, alone to 779cc by abbreviation the agent bore, accretion compression, swapping out the pistons, crankshaft and top end. The consistent motor puts out a blow beneath 105 horsepower, with 82 Nm of torque.Effectively, that top-end application amount doesn't assume to be abundant up on the 90-odd rear caster horses offered by the lighter, 600cc FZ6 donk. But the stroked-out FZ8 makes its ability abundant beforehand in the rev range, a actuality which should accomplish it a abundant added accommodating and acquisitive powerplant about boondocks and in the majority of real-world benumbed conditions.

The bad account is that by abbreviation the FZ1 engine's bore, the FZ8 doesn't administer to afford any agent admeasurement or weight. The acceptable account that comes as a aftereffect is that the FZ8 is adored with the admirable FZ1 anatomy and swingarm, which do an accomplished job of accouterment acerbity and angle in all the appropriate places.There's not a lot for gearheads to get aflame about elsewhere; abeyance seems adequately basic, adjustable alone for rear preload, and the brakes are four-piston monoblock jobs, with the advantage of abacus ABS.



There's two versions available, aloof like with the FZ6 and yamaha FZ1 platforms - the naked FZ8-N looks nice and beefy and stylish, and the semifaired Fazer8 looks a little more... Practical. The FZ8-N weighs 211kg accessible to cycle with a abounding catchbasin of gas, the Fazer8 215kg - and you can add 5kg to either if you appetite the alternative ABS.
