Are they any good? I quite like them...are they really as powerful as the old fazer 1000?

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

In jockland, nee, the weege, to exclaim "AYE RIGHT" after a statement is like sayin "DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!" or "THAT'LL BE THE DAY!!!!"

Are you Scottish then? I don't think I have seen one of these bikes in the flesh but if they are as powerful as the old thousand fazer and are modern and a good price then maybe they will be quite popular

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

I'll crack the jokes son

A bit plastic'y looking. I'm not keen on all the matt black stuff and the tail 'untidy'!!

[Grahamm]

Hmm, I see what you mean about "plasticky" also I'm not sure about that can...!

BTW You might want to photoshop out the registration number just to be on the safe side

Its the only thing makin the bike appealing.


Looks god awful. Good job on the intel Tor. Pillion pegs look like the came straight off the the ybr and overall finish looks on par with brand new chinese or korean. It really is a poor effort on yams part, as an idea and in its overall execution.

Those handlebars look like grey cheese strings

I've seen em in the shop at Chesterfeld and they look better in the flesh.  Not that I'd get one - for the same reasons I wouldn't get a new FZ1. . . I'm skint!

The boyfriend of the new admin girly here has a Fazer 8, not the white one. Wonder if he's on here? She wants to learn biking and was keen to know about my FZ1.

[Tori]

It was a demo bike, so I kind of didn't worry about the number plate...ummm..bit late now!

[flesh]

I actually quite like the look of them.......... :\

Never understood the blanking of registration plates - it's not as if they're hidden when you're riding the bike.

Think you should change your custom title then to something more like "poor"

Dont know wot happened to that last post !!

[Dunky]

I like it but I'm with Davie on this one cause I'm skint too.

[flesh]

Even if I wasn't skint I would not buy one.
A cross between a high reving poorly fueled FZ6 and a high reving poorly fueled FZ1......how appealing......and I own both of the fore-mentioned bikes  :\

[PieEater]

...are they really as powerful as the old fazer 1000?

No, at least 15 horses and 10 torques less.

this what bike magazine sais about the FZ8
"if yamahas 130bhp,150mph FZ1can be likened to a rampaging wildebeest (and those who've ridden one will know it certainly can) then the FZ8 is his unlucky mate who's been tagged with a tranquilliser dart,staggered around for a bit and just managed to dislodge it before passing out,from the outside,the two animals look almost the same-they're an identical size with matching silouttes-but that instinctive snarl at its core has been tamed,and it's not quite as steady on its hind legs"
and with a comparison against the honda hornet 60 bike said
"if you want an 800,get a hornet 600"
the FZ8 could not out accelerate a hornet 600 in the mid range the hornet being 180cc smaller in engine size
