MIDDLEWEIGHT EIGHT!

Coming to America?

YAMAHA HAS RELEASED information on the brandnew FZ8, announced as a 2011 model for the European market. It is powered by a 779cc, dohc, inline-Four tuned for instant gratification via good bottom-end torque. The aggressive FZ8 chas sis features a black powdercoated

Deltabox frame, a 43mm inverted fork and TL. optional ABS among other highlights. Yamaha U.S. wouldn't confirm if the FZ8 was headed our way for 2011 but didn't deny it, either. If you're a tuning-fork fan, keep your fingers crossed.
