dont like the look of the fazor but the fz6 is quite tasty

but could they please start fitting tail tidys as standard and save us the time?

im interested in the faired fazer, any ideas on tech specs yet? im hoping for nice inbetweeny figures (600 vs 1000)

+1
but is very pretty :smiley:

I think the Fazer looks ok - it looks really good - especially compared to earlier half-faired Fazers and bandits.

Why have they released an 800? Isn’t a 600 and a 1000 enough? :blink:

the 600 is mo longer part of the range, replaced by the XJ6/divi

new official color pic!

Hmm - 800 is so close to 1000 - I reckon they should have done a 750 instead of an 800 - 750 is a more classic displacement and rings more historical bells with most bikers.

Nice looking bike except for the odd looking number plate bracket

We are getting official pics and details through any day now so I’ll get a news story up once we have enough detail. Guess at least one official pic is out by the looks of it.

looks decent naked, faired is still a bit dubious and out of proportion.

might have to be in the market for something like this or a cb1000 as parking the r1 is an issue…

read a great quote about this bike :

‘FZ8, like the FZ1 but slower’ !! :w00t::smiley:

Think that’s a bit harsh :w00t::smiley:

I love my FZS600 but would at some point like to change it. There a million and one bikes out there that I like the look of (mmmm Triumphs), but pratically speaking a new Fazer would fit the best in with my life. Never liked the look of the FZ6 and nary heard a good word about them. They are now gone. So where does that leave me? Divvy? Too budget commuter. FZ1? Amazing looking, heard great things about them but I have barely had my licence a year and I am not going anywhere near a thou yet. So I want something with the practicallity of my FZS, something a bit classy and not too budget looking or feeling and something which isn’t going to a) scare the bejesus out of me and b) not have the insurers going “here, Dave, you got to listen to this, the kid wants the insure a FZ1” :smiley:

So I personally am quite interested in the Fazer 8. If it turns out to be any good I’ll consider getting one 2nd hand in a few years.

Now make the R8 already :slight_smile:

Actually, they might not be able to call it that :hehe:

Thats a shame, I was enjoying how ugly the standard exhausts were getting but this one doesn’t look all that repulsive :Whistling:

My god it looks like a Fazer :w00t::crazy::w00t::smiley:

Hope they do some decent colours. They’ve missed a trick with the Divvie F by not releasing the American colours here.

Yamaha have release more pic and specs!

I really like the white Fz8 but wish they make a yellow one with the black yamaha box/stripe

Yamaha claim 104bhp with 60lbft of torque
naked FZ8 weighs 211kg, and the Fazer8 tips the scales at 215kg (add another 5kg if you get the ABS)
