How the Yamaha FZ8 is WAY different than the FZ07

Yamaha's FZ8 is one of the baddest street fighters you can buy! It's extremely powerful and really shows up in the top end. The best part is you can pick one up for pretty cheap on the used market.

This is the fastest street fighter ever made and it comes with the Hayabusa motor!

This might be the best street fighter motorcyle ever!

You need to check the digital speedometer, it seems to stop working when you exceed the speed limit .

I have a 15 fz8. Here in nz it has 105hp and pretty much all the fz07s (mt 07 here) are 650cc and learner restricted to 52hp. I have had my fz8 for about a year now and love it, it's great for flying through the twisties and cruising all over the place. Imo it is a very underrated bike

Thank you from California.. I just bought 2012 fz8 and have not found a good video of the fz8.. thanks a million.. just got a new subscriber

I have a 2013 model.. Only downside I've found is the suspension is a bit soft. Gets unsettled mid corner and gives the sensation it's going to slide out..apart from that, absolutely love it.

You seem to say that every bike you showcase on your channel is the greatest ever. Your a good salesman.

Like someone else said, finally a good video on the 8. I love my 2013 with the adjustable suspension.

This was my first bike, still have it 3 years later. Absolute monster. Actual stats: 109hp(ish), and 61 lbft. And no, an fz07 does not pull on this. First gear goes up to 71mph and I can pin it in first as well.

I have had my fz8 for a few years now and I still love riding it as much as I can

[jared]

I sold this bike to them. Really cool to look back at this video. Great people and cool shop. Also yes, the phone holder sucks lol.

i just bought a fz8 last weekend its a blast to ride. Picked up a 2011 triple black fz8 with a nice coffmans exhaust. I absolutely love it

[Schaltschrei]

Bought the FZ8 in 2013 and loving it until now. For me, the 700 to 800ccm Range is perfect for a little bit of tourque, but quite enough RPM to race. Loving it since the day it came from Japan in a box just for me . never let me down and was a hell of fun even on the Nordschleife.

But i think that kind of Bikes make more sense in europe. We got these tiny little roads with very thight curves. It allows you to race in high rpm from corner to corner, smashing trough the gears. I guess thats not the same on the wide roads of the US.

The FZ8 is definitely one awesome machine! With its many features that compliment almost every riding style and versatility to accommodate even the most aggressive riders. My opinion is the FZ8 is your all around’ anything goes kinda bike and for what you pay, you get a lot!! Take care and much respect from Rockwall, Texas - Semper Fi!!

I have the anniversary edition. It's a great bike. It's a 2012 and I paid 5100 (Can)for it in 2018. It only had 1800 km in on it. It's a great bike for the money. It does 117km/hr in first when it hits the rev limiter. There is a lot if power at the top of the rev range and you can ride it all day.

Just bought my ‘12 fz8 for $3200. Good to great condition. 10k miles. Love it!

[krazokid]

Don't forget the amazing FZ6 as well. Probably the best all around motorcycle ever made in my opinion :)

[exothermal.sprocket]

I prefer the aesthetic of the XSR700 over the MT.
But I have demo-ridden the FZ8 years ago and found it a very good middle slot bike, enough power, but not stupid power. Equivalent to the GSX-S750.

i ride mine FZ8 3 years now, its my first bike and i LOVE my bike :)

[michaels]

Been following your channel for awhile now, always enjoy the reviews but perfect timing on this one. I just picked up a 2013 FZ8 2 weeks ago and I love it! I was initially looking at an Xsr700 or 900 but came across the FZ8 and jumped at it. It's got the hooligan DNA like the others but definitely more refined. It's the bike to buy when you still want ss performance but are sick of the ergos.

Had the fz8 abs s for nearly 2 years now. I'm second owner, the first owner spent nearly £1000 on adjustable rear shock and reworked front forks, which I belive is the only downside to these bike's.
However, saying this I'm loving mine, being half faired with a double bubble screen, it's just right for higher speed open roads. Only draw back is the fuel consumption. 🇬🇧

I have an 09 FZ1 and recently changed sprockets and it pulls hard. It’s amazing the performance you can get out of this bike and paid less than 5, 000$ for it. 🤯. I’d be curious to see how the fz8 and fz9 compare.
