All-new 779 cc engine combines new top end components, including ceramic-composite-coated cylinders and forged aluminum pistons, with a carefully optimized crankshaft to deliver the perfect power curve and torquey performance character for this category. |
|
|
The FZ8 fills the gap for sport riders who feel a 600 cc is too small and a 1,000 cc is too big. |
|
|
Muscular, naked bike styling gives an aggressive, mass-forward stance. This bike screams attitude. |
|
|
Comfortable, upright riding position with a compact design that contributes to the bike�s first-rate handling. This bike simply excels, both in the morning commute and on that spirited weekend ride on a twisty back country road. |
|
|
Cast aluminum frame and Controlled-Fill aluminum swingarm is lightweight and provides the ideal rigidity balance for outstanding cornering performance. |
|
|
|
New 779 cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, inline 4-cylinder, 4-valve engine delivers smooth power delivery and gobs of torque in the low to mid rpm range. But this engine also lets loose with eye-opening horsepower when the revs climb toward redline. |
|
|
Fuel-injection with 35 mm diameter throttle bodies has optimum intake efficiency and smooth throttle response. Provides precise fuel/air mixtures for awesome power delivery across the rpm range. |
|
|
Compact, pent-roof combustion chamber with a high 12:1 compression ratio with 26 mm intake valves and 22 mm exhaust valves contributes both to the superb torque and high-rpm power of this engine. |
|
|
Intake funnels for cylinders 2 and 3 are 25mm longer than the two outside cylinders. This tuning trick helps maximize the engine�s punchy torque delivery. |
|
|
The FZ8 inherits proven R1/FZ1 technologies, including forged aluminum pistons, fracture split carburized connecting rods, and ceramic-composite-plated cylinders. |
|
|
The 68 mm bore and 53.6 mm stroke specifications were carefully chosen to maximize the strong torque characteristics, as was the new crankshaft with optimized inertial mass. |
|
|
Wide-ratio 6-speed transmission has ideal ratios for the engine�s performance character. |
|
|
4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system looks great and includes a catalytic converter and O2 sensor. Short muffler is mounted low for great looks and excellent mass centralization. |
|
|
|
Cast aluminum frame uses the engine as a stressed member and allows for optimal rigidity balance, light weight, and superb handling. Six engine-mounting points help provide superb longitudinal rigidity. |
|
|
Controlled-Fill die-cast aluminum swing arm saves weight and is tuned for excellent handling. |
|
|
43mm inverted fork and a link-type Monocross shock with adjustable preload for light and neutral handling characteristics. |
|
|
310mm front discs, squeezed by monoblock four-piston calipers, and a single 267 mm rear disc offer strong stopping power. |
|
|
Aggressive chassis geometry with supersport-inspired 51 percent front wheel weight bias. Provides light, nimble handling. |
|
|
The generous 4.5 gallon fuel tank, is short front to back, and slender where it meets the rider. The foot pegs and handlebars are also placed for a compact, rider-forward riding position that contributes to the bike�s excellent handling. |
|
|
5-spoke cast aluminum wheels contribute to the light and neutral handling character. This bike sports a 120/70 ZR17 radial tire up front, and a 180/55-ZR17 rear radial to complete the look and serve up the traction. |
|
|
|
�Mass-forward� naked bike styling is accentuated by the headlight design. |
|
|
FZ1-style instrument cluster features a great looking tachometer with a white face. |
