Very interesting bike....hee hee. Maybe getting this in 2011.

[dragonforce]

only thing to look forward to is the inverted front forks..

not much gain in power, heavier than fz6, side exhaust.. i hope fz6 parts will still be widely available.

[pickyvan]

The exhaust is a turn off, pale in comparison to the CB1000R's

[dEeLdo]

there's alwez a wide range of aftermarket exhaust to choose from

 

notice that even tho the tank looks similar to FZ1, it is 17L instead of 18L...

[gearone]

smaller tanks = get to know pump attendants better:angel:

 

no faired version?

[biting_point]

hybrid btw FZ1 and FZ6.. Price wise??

Doesnt look any different from FZ1..

 

seems like i can decide on my CL2 bike already..

[bus_wrecker]

looks like an FZ1..

[hydrop]

Just wondering if the pricing will be very close to fz1? If that is the case, might as well get fz1.

 

Looks like fazer 600 is removed from the line up in 2010. The entry level 600cc bike is now the diversion 600.

[Dafanshu]

very sexy baby... waiting for the otr price

no faired version?

more pictures are out at ibike.com.hk

[dEeLdo]

have a feeling, since it looks almost identical to the FZ1, I somehow feels that a Gen3 FZ1 is in the works... maybe in 2011? we'll never know....

[mild_slevin]

full introduction on FZ8N and Fazer 8

 

http://www.ibike.com.hk/02_market/yamaha/07_web/index.htm

 

like they describe its kind of like mix and match of FZ6 and FZ1...

should be quite stylo as we can see from the current FZ1... chuck away the stock pipe and throw in a mean aftermarket pipe should spice things up.

[javier83]

when is it coming....

[LollyPoP]

looking @ the specs of the FZ8 & FZ1.

the 800 is equip with a 17litre tank but a 3.8l EO?!!!!

 

as fr price wise, i dun believe there'll be much a diff. (2-3k diff between the 800 & 1000)

Road tax & insurance won't be tat much, BUT power wise i believe the 1 will perform better.

If i'm going back to a FAZER, i'll skip the 800.

[welly]

nothing surprising abt the fz8

[dragonforce]

MCN test rides the fz8.
