2011 Yamaha FZ8
With the mission to produce an extensive number of outrageous motorbikes, the Yamaha Motor Company has recently delivered the press introduction of their newest sporty naked FZ8 bike that will be imported to the U.S on 2011. The 2011 Yamaha FZ8 has outstanding features that are able to lure first-time riders. It's digital display, comfortable lower seats, and highly-designed body attracts female riders.
The 2011 FZ8 is believed to be an improved version of the previous Yamaha bikes. It's production was greatly inspired by its siblings FZ1 and FZ6. The three FZ models share a common chassis, swingarm, and a majority of engine components. Also, FZ8 was created with a good bottom end and gearbox that over-topped the 2008 R1. It has a faster engine performance that reduces the boredom brought by the 1000cc FZ1, and a four-valve head design upgrading the FZ1’s five-valve.
Aside from having a few similarities to FZ1 and FZ6, the 2011 Yamaha FZ8 still possesses original features. A newly designed fuel-injected 4-cylinder engine makes this bike a unique one.
BRAKES
The FZ8 has a twin front disc brake specs that were nearly identical at 310mm, and a single 267mm disc. Both of these were pinched by a four-piston front, and single-piston rear calipers.
ENGINE
Another great thing that Yamaha did to FZ8 was its 779cc engine that has the power to deliver 106.2 hp at 10,000 rpm and 60.8 ft-lb of torque at 8,000 rpm. Its two injectors per cylinder, accompanied by a generous 7.8L air box and asymmetrical intake manifolds, gives the engine two inner cylinders that generate more torque and two outers focusing on power.
POWER DELIVERY
The FZ8's power delivery is a big advantage for all riders. The off the line grunt is delivered from as low as 3500RPM. And below 6,000RPM, this bike responds with a smooth and fluid power delivery. These features were intended by Yamaha to produce a strong bottom end power development to make the FZ8 user-friendly.
DESIGN
The 2011 FZ8 model is equipped with a front cowl and screen. A short muffler, narrow tank and a 3-part tank cover are some aspects that makes FZ8 out stand among its siblings. While the black side parts, colored tank, and headlight unit on the Yamaha FZ8 adds a strong-looking detail.
All in all, the visual impression of this bike is that it looks fast even when it's standing still. Maybe due to its sensually curved diamond frame and muscular 4-cylinder engine.
The riding position is sporty but comfortable, with a seat height of 815mm and a narrow tank which gives the rider a good ground access.
WHEELS
The FZ8's wheels are five-spoke cast aluminium rims - the front tyre is a 120/70 ZR17, and the rear is a 180/55 ZR17. This gives the bike an outstanding ride feeling, grip and cornering performance.
As stated above, the 2011 Yamaha FZ8 is a combination of the great and popular features being utilized in the earlier bikes released by Yamaha.
With an MSRP of $10,499, the FZ8 is ideal for novice riders ready to step up from their training bikes, or for intermediate riders who are seeking ‘big bike’ credit, near-sportbike grins in the twisties, and a hint of upright practicality.
