Fazer usually refers to the older carb version of the FZS1000 which again is called a gen1 while the FZ1 is fuel injected and known as a gen2. Gen being short for generation.
The FZ8 has no previous carb version and was something Yamaha produced for people who wanted more than 600cc but didn't need 1000cc so sits betweeen the FZ6 and FZ1.
I was looking at a few FZ8 but my FZ1 was offered to me at a quite low price and only 8000 miles on an 07 plate.
Also in America the early carb FZS1000 is also known as FZ1, which can be a bit confusing if you frequent ebay.
