that engine is actually the newer 700 raptor engine with a 2mm smaller bore. both of those engines were in the bikes before the quads

Yamaha to ditch FZ6 for FZ8?

If they were going to intro the FZ8, shouldn't it be on the 2010 lineup online or is this another bike that only Europe gets for the first 1 - 2 years?
Glad the FZ1 is still there!

LOVE that. DS/SF hybrid? Hell yeah! (take away the side-shock please!)
With the increase in ride height, simple engine design, more travel in the fork, I see some light dirt touring (like the WeeStrom). LOVE IT!

This came up under Google images when searching "Yamaha fz8"
I'm not sure if it really is the fz8, but it does appear to have a bulkier, and naked front end. Maybe its just my imagination or the angle the picture is taken at, but regardless its a nice Yamaha.

The MT-03 is a tiny bike and is ugly in real life. The FZ6 is way better

Too bad - I liked the 600cc. Plenty for the street, good on insurance (my company goes strictly by displacement).
I did recently pick up a bike powered by a Yamaha Raptor engine (the 660cc carbed one) - a bit of a different animal than the FZ!

Canadian FZ6 and S101: You nailed my thought! Upon seeing the FZ8, the B-King came immediately to my mind.

I started with a Ninja 250, went to a FZ6, FZ8 would be a nice step up the ladder. Especially if it was a little brother to the R1's cross-plane shaft engine!

Anyone heard anything on the FZ8 release? I find it weird that it's a 2010 model and we're almost through Jan. 2010 and there's no word on anything for the FZ8.

i prefer the looks of the fz6 rather than fz8.. dual headlight with fairings are nicer.. just my POV.

Looks like the FZ6 has finally been dropped here in the Uk , not on their web site any longer.
