Yamaha FZ description
2013 Yamaha FZ8, wow... great price 2013 Yamaha FZ8
The FZ8 features both compression and rebound damping adjustability on the new front fork, while the new shock now features both preload and compression damping adjustability, as well as a stiffer spring. In addition, new fuel-injection settings provide a sportier engine feeling, quicker revving power character, and more direct and linear feeling from the throttle to the rear wheel. Features
The 779cc engine combines top end components, including ceramic-composite-coated cylinders and forged aluminum pistons, with a carefully optimized crankshaft to deliver the perfect power curve and torquey performance character for this category.
The FZ8 fills the gap for sport riders who feel a 600cc is too small and a 1000cc is too big.
Muscular, naked bike styling gives an aggressive, mass-forward stance. This bike screams attitude.
Comfortable, upright riding position with a compact design that contributes to the bike s first-rate handling. This bike simply excels, both in the morning commute and on that spirited weekend ride on a twisty back country road.
Cast aluminum frame and Controlled-Fill aluminum die-cast swingarm is lightweight and provides the ideal rigidity balance for outstanding cornering performance.
