Muscular, mass-forward designThe FZ8-series consists of two models – the naked FZ8 and the semi-faired Fazer8 with a front cowl and screen. A short muffler, narrow tank and new 3-part tank cover instantly distinguish these bikes from their peers.Visually, the FZ8 series evokes a pure release of energy in forward motion. The black side parts on the tank provide comfortable knee grip, and give the subtle impression that the coloured tank is breaking away and accelerating forward. The headlight unit on the naked FZ8 adds an aggressive-looking detail. In all, the visual impression is of a bike that looks fast even when it’s standing still – and that sensually curved diamond frame and muscular 4-cylinder engine are still the stars of the show.AccessoriesA range of genuine Yamaha functional and styling accessories is available to enhance the looks and extend the capabilities of the FZ8 and Fazer8.The range includes:Higher windscreen for the Fazer8Stylish flyscreen for the FZ8Seat coverSubcowlingRear carrier46L TopcasePassenger backrest for 46L topcaseInnerbag for 46L topcaseGrip heaters MC 120Passenger grab bars for the FZ8Main standRadiator coverEngine guardsRoller protectorsStylish license plate holder (available in April 2010)TankpadStylish LED indicators in black, chrome and carbon look (available end May 2010)TF Touring tank bag for the Fazer8TF City tank bag for the FZ8ApparelYamaha offers a wide range of apparel, designed to keep riders and passengers stylish and protected.
