It was very quick, but a bit to much for me. I don't do any drag races or anything like that, so i don't need that much power.i just ride around twisties and there i like the naked bike style a bit more , because of the wider handlebar, it kinda gives me a better feeling for the bike ^^ only downside is the missing wind protection :D its not that bad though, my first bike was a supermoto so i'm kinda used to it. I'm not sure if the FZ 8 is a popular bike nowadays, kinda seems forgotten

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.
@johnnazar180
@johnnazar180 4 жыл бұрын
From a 30 roll the fz8 jumps out by about half a bike due to its longer first gear, then the FZ09 pulls about a half bike away up until 95ish, then the fz8 starts to pull away from the fz09 because of higher top speed and stability along with taller gearing. In terms of riding FZ8 feels WAY more comfortable but not as torquey, where as the fz09 feels much lighter and smoother (newer bike) but very twitchy throttle. Fz8 sounds better with a Coffman slip-on than any full exhaust fz09.

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. Greetings from Germany.

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.

I really liked my 2012 FZ8 for the year and a half I had it. Only really had two negatives. It got STUPID hot in the summer. Like, your inner thighs would be warm to the touch after a hour ride. Some people notice it, some don't, so it might be different from one bike to the next. The other thing is it's feels pretty weak before the little dip and power jump that happens at 6k revs (~35 mph in 1st gear). My GSX-S750 felt better in the lower RPM's, but I think the FZ8 ended up feeling a little faster overall. The FZ8 is more comfortable. Could ride that bike for days if it wasn't for the heat issue I experienced.

Of the FZ/MT family that I've tried so far my ranking goes 09>07>8. The 8 may have more power but its only there if you're wringing its neck. Great on long sweepers but still not strong enough to be thrilling once your on the freeway. It is by far the most stable and smoothest so I think it would be the nicest if you do a lot of freeway. Truthfully though not the most entertaining motorcycle IMO. Then the 07, which is worse at freeway speeds but wooooorlds better in town, tighter twistes and basically anything under 80mph. Honestly if your riding doesn't include frequent triple digit rips its all the bike I think is really needed to have fun on the street. I think its probably the best budget bike ever made. Then my very much beloved 09. Which has its torque immediately available whenever you want it. Low, mid and doesn't sacrifice much top end to get it. Also feels just as flickable as the 07 since the 09 has a wider bar. To me it's easily the most enjoyable of the bunch if arguably the least refined.

id put fz8>fz7>fz09 because the 09 is a great hooligan machine but its gen 3 and it still has a snatchy throttle. the 2014 models are unrideable and the fz8 is only underrated because it was ahead of its time (came out when naked bikes in North America were not popular). fz07 is a legend though

I believe the Fz8 is the successor to the Fz6 with just more displacement in the engine bumping it up to the "8" designation. The power characteristics are the same as the Fz6 (not the Fz6r) in that you had to really wind them up to get the power out of them. Around town and below 6K rpms, the Fz6 was sedate and reserved. Above 6K rpms, you better hang on and this seems to be very similar.

FZ8 has a 4 valve head, which is an improvement vs. the FZ1's 5 valver. I have owned an '06 FZ1 since new, it has been bombproof reliable, surely the FZ8 is more of the same. I do like the bikini fairing on the FZ1, it blocks the wind quite well. I bet the 8 does howl nicely with an aftermarket exhaust and ECU flash. Yamaha always leaves so much power on the table on it's non front line bikes. They are smooth down low, but is all about 7K and up on the tach. My FZ1 has an Ivans ECU flash and Akra full exhaust, the mods definitely unleashed the holy sh%t Kraken ;)

1:23 they are Not very different on torque. Especially on lower rpm and considering weight difference. FZ7 vs FZ8: Max torque 50 lb ft (@6 500 RPM) vs 60 lb ft (@8 000 RPM)

Dj Project "Never herd of the FZ 08. Did they come out with that before the FZ09?" Yup. I owned both. The FZ8 was a quick, smooth and comfortable bike. The FZ09 just tries to kill you.

They stopped selling the half-faired FZ6 here in the states over 10 years ago I think. They then gave us the FZ6R (XJ6 Diversion overseas?), a full fairing but weaker version of the FZ6 which they no longer sell here either. They never gave us the naked one that I've seen.

The confusion with naming comes from that weird idea to call the MT lineup FZ in America. In Europe, the FZ1, FZ6 and this FZ8 were always called that, and MT03, MT 07, MT09 and MT10 is a whole different line of bikes. In America they were all FZ...

I have one of these. Had my first crash on her but it was such a fun bike with that 6k rpm power band. Sounds absolutely amazing with a Yoshi can on it, too. Stepped up since then and my girl wants to start riding so I'm selling to make some space. Pretty sure you were looking at N*m and not ft*lb tq numbers but it does still have slightly more tq than an FZ-07 and is a great bike that never got much love relative to others in the FZ range. I should also mention that it is WIDE compared to others in its class lol. Wider than my Z900.

I bought one of these when they were brand new and I absolutely loved it. I rode it from WV to SC and KY many times. I recently sold it as I bought another bike and it wasn't being ridden anymore but it's definitely one of the best bikes I've ever owned. I put 14k on it in the time I had it and it never even had so much as a hiccup. In my opinion It's very overlooked in the motorcycle community due to some of it's more basic options such as the suspension and so on which can be upgraded.
