Really looks the part the FZ8. Plenty of torque. But don,t give it the gas on very very slightly bumpy corner. It shakes it head and lets you know its not happy.

[CDKZFZ]

why cant the new fz's look nice like the old fz's, these ones are so boring.

[802iin]

only 1 light worked on the blue 1? lol

[BikerDarren24]

@802iin

One light is for main beam and the other is for high beam, the old FZ6 lights are the same. :)

@802iin never buy a motorcycle

They didn't address the fuel injection on this thing. Yamaha's always had problems getting fuel injection to work properly on many of their models -- the older FZ6 and FZ1 come to mind -- so I hope the FZ8 has this issue sorted out.

[TheReapersSon]

Those fucking turn signals sticking out like that is a big no-no. When will manufacturers learn that if it has a fairing, INTEGRATE THEM!

Warning! Actual testing only after 1:00.

Farol da azul ta queimado

[Brazath2]

@luishenriquegmail Só está com o farol baixo ligado, se ligar a luz alta o outro acende.

Ok, someone explain this to me. The Fazer 600 has 98bhp at 180kg while the Fazer 8 has a mere 8bhp more but weighs a whooping 216kg. How is this bike an improvement on the 600?

[belinossi]

@paolo27th Don't worry mate, this new fz8 has more than 30% torque than the old fz6 (increased from 6.4 kgfm to 8.4).

[atreiuspirit]

@paolo27th it's an old statement but i wanna tell you something. 8HP is not a "mere" additional power, consider that to get those on a fz6 you should buy a racing muffler, bmc (or other) air filter and get a dyno jet power commander, and even if you do that you wouldn't reach the torque that the fz8 already has.. now, if you do modify the fz8 as i did..115cv with a torque of 9.6kgfm. A little Monster.

Lol, "Yam-a-ha"

[hawkermustang]

I have an 05 FZ6 and it's a great bike all around. If I decided to get a more powerful version I would get the FZ1. No need to be half stepping.

[JayzBeerz]

too bad the US market don't get this bike, bad yamaha

[guitarnumb]

@JayzBeerz really? US we cant buy it here to use it here? well, there's bikes in philippines i wish i can use here. lol

[mohsin19999995]

@JayzBeerz um they do now

[JayzBeerz]

@mohsin19999995 yeah saw it yesterday they are releasing it in Dec 2010 in the US

[akribela]

I bought a new FZ6 in 2006 , great bike , great handling a do it all bike and its comfortable. For a 600cc it goes like stink but I still wished for more power when doing long road trips. Cant wait to test ride this new version :]

[dreamssofblue]

blah. can you believe it? the fazer looks awesome but a 800 cc motor? why would they do that instead of making a fz 1100 or even with the genisis engine design? everybody raises 2 teeth on the back and drops 1 tooth on the front of there current fz1 should tell you something. they want there rides faster. "ideal" is bags of grunt without having to sacrifice highway crusing rpm and longevity. a fz 1100 geared with the looks of the "2011 fazer 800" uber!

[rodatv]

look like great bikes!! but i still love my r6

[vexr241]

fingers crossed for a radical new fz1!
