2012 Yamaha FZ8, 2012 Yamaha FZ8 FZ8 is a "do-it-all" sport-bike with amazing all-around performance for both the urban commando and the weekend canyon carver. And at 800cc it splits the difference between a 600 and liter-bike so you get lightweight handling along with great torque... all in a stylish, upright package. Muscular, naked bike styling gives an aggressive, mass-forward stance. This bike screams attitude.
2011 Yamaha FZ 8, 2011 Yamaha® FZ8 Key Features May Include All-new 779cc engine combines new top end components, including ceramic-composite-coated cylinders and forged aluminum pistons, with a carefully optimized crankshaft to deliver the perfect power curve and torquey performance character for this category. The FZ8 fills the gap for sport riders who feel a 600cc is too small and a 1000cc is too big. Muscular, naked bike styling gives an aggressive, mass-forward stance. This bike screams attitude. Comfortable, upright riding position with a compact design that contributes to the bike's first-rate handling. This bike simply excels, both in the morning commute and on that spirited weekend ride on a twisty back country road. Cast aluminum frame and Controlled-Fill aluminum swingarm is lightweight and provides the ideal rigidity balance for outstanding cornering performance. Features & Benefits Engine New 779cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, inline 4-cylinder, 4-valve engine delivers smooth power delivery and gobs of torque in the low to mid rpm range. But this engine also lets loose with eye- opening horsepower when the revs climb toward redline. Fuel-injection with 35mm diameter throttle bodies has optimum intake efficiency and smooth throttle response. Provides precise fuel/air mixtures for awesome power delivery across the rpm range. Compact, pent-roof combustion chamber with a high 12.0:1compression ratio with 26mm intake valves and 22mm exhaust valves contributes both to the superb torque and high-rpm power of this engine. Intake funnels for cylinders 2 and 3 are 25mm longer than the two outside cylinders. This tuning trick helps maximize the engine's punchy torque delivery. The FZ8 inherits proven R1/FZ1 technologies, including forged aluminum pistons, fracture split carburized connecting rods, and ceramic-composite-plated cylinders. The 68.0mm bore and 53.6mm stroke specifications were carefullychosen to maximize the strong torque characteristics, aswas the new crankshaft with optimized inertial mass. Wide-ratio 6-speed transmission has ideal ratios for the engine's performance character. 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system looks great and includes a catalytic converter and O2 sensor. Short muffler is mounted low forgreat looks and excellent mass centralization. Chassis/Suspension Cast aluminum frame uses the engine as a stressed member and allows for optimal rigidity balance, light weight, and superb handling. Six engine-mounting points help provide superb longitudinal rigidity. Controlled-Fill die-cast aluminum swing arm saves weight and is tuned for excellent handling. 43mm inverted fork and a link-type Monocross shockwith adjustable preload for light and neutral handling characteristics. 310mm front discs, squeezed by monoblock four-
