Yamaha FZ8 Updates

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 05:41 PM The Yamaha FZ8, although discontinued in many markets, remains a popular choice for enthusiasts in India due to its agile handling and powerful 779 cc inline-four engine. Its ability to navigate tight roads with ease makes it a favorite among riders who enjoy backroad adventures. I think its handling is one of its strongest points, making it a joy to ride.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 11:21 PM In terms of design, the Yamaha FZ8 stands out with its naked bike aesthetic, offering a sporty look that appeals to many riders. The bikes aluminum frame and adjustable suspension (introduced in 2013) contribute to its robust yet agile feel. I believe the design is a perfect blend of style and functionality.

Friday, 20 September 2024 10:26 PM The FZ8 is known for its smooth throttle action and light brake lever, although the clutch lever is not adjustable and can be a bit far from the handlebars. Despite this, the bikes overall ergonomics make it comfortable for long rides. I find the throttle response to be very responsive and user-friendly.

Sunday, 25 August 2024 05:03 PM Yamahas decision to discontinue the FZ8 in several markets, including the United States after 2013, has led to a surge in demand for used models. In India, this bike is still sought after by riders who appreciate its mid-range power and handling capabilities. I think this bike is a great value for money in the used market.

Wednesday, 10 July 2024 08:09 PM The FZ8 features a 779 cc engine derived from the FZ1, with a reduced bore and stroke, resulting in 89-91 horsepower. This engine setup provides ample power for road riding without feeling overly aggressive. I believe this power range is ideal for everyday riding.

Sunday, 16 June 2024 12:12 AM The bikes braking system, which includes dual 310 mm discs at the front and a single 267 mm disc at the rear, along with ABS on the FAZER8 model, ensures strong stopping power. This is particularly important for Indian roads where sudden stops are common. I think the braking performance is quite reliable.

Monday, 20 May 2024 07:28 PM Despite being criticized for being expensive compared to rivals like the Triumph Street Triple and Kawasaki Z750, the FZ8 has maintained a loyal following in India. Its performance and build quality justify the higher price point for many enthusiasts. I think the quality and performance make it worth the investment.

Thursday, 25 April 2024 10:50 PM The FZ8s fuel economy is respectable, with an average consumption of around 5.6-5.33 liters per 100 kilometers. This makes it a practical choice for daily commuting and long road trips in India. I find the fuel efficiency to be quite good for its class.

Friday, 15 March 2024 07:49 PM The bikes suspension, which became adjustable in 2013, provides a smooth ride and excellent handling, especially on Indian roads which can be quite uneven. This adjustability adds to the bikes versatility. I believe the suspension is one of the key features that make this bike so enjoyable.

Saturday, 10 February 2024 10:15 AM The Yamaha FZ8 and its half-faired counterpart, the FAZER8, replaced the FZ6 and FZ6 FAZER models. While the FZ6 models continued to be sold in some markets, the FZ8 quickly gained popularity for its enhanced performance and features. I think the upgrade was a significant improvement over the previous models.
