Fazer/FZ 8 History

[brian2649]

From what I can gather from doing research into the bike before I bought mine, the fazer 8/fz 8 is based on the 1000cc models but with the obvious narrower bore making it 779cc, also It has a lighter crank shaft, revised cam profiles and a slightly revised fuel mapping making the power delivery smoother and less edgy than the thou versions. As for sharing parts, I'd imagine they share a lot, as both bikes are very similar indeed.
