YAMAHAFZ8 2009 - 2010

　　In 2010, Yamaha launched the FZ8 alongside the Fazer 8, also known as the FZ8 N and FZ8 S, which were motorcycles manufactured by Yamaha as part of the FZ series, sold in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

　　The FZ8 model was a naked machine, while the identical Fazer 8 was equipped with a half fairing and an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). The bikes were released to replace the smaller FZ6 and FZ6 Fazer models.

　　Both machines were powered by a 779cc four-cylinder engine derived from the FZ1 model but with a different bore and stroke. Compared to the FZ1, the 2010 FZ8 and Fazer 8 models packed a lighter crankshaft, smaller valves, and revised camshaft profiles, while the frame and swingarm were taken from the FZ1 without any changes.

　　The bike's suspension was handled by a 43 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling performance. After 2013, both front and rear shocks became adjustable.

　　In the braking department, the 2010 Yamaha FZ8 packed four-piston calipers with two 310 mm discs on the front wheel and one single-piston caliper with a 267 mm disc on the rear wheel, providing robust and reliable stopping power.

　　Underneath the fuel tank, the bike packed a 779cc liquid-cooled four-stroke four-cylinder engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system, boasting 106 hp with a peak force at 10,000 rpm and 82 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
