Do you love the styling and rawness of a naked but want something more powerful than a beginner's bike, yet the thought of a gigantic power cruiser with all its mass doesn't fit the bill? Yamaha's answer is the 2011 Yamaha FZ8.
It's aimed at the rider who is looking for a comfortable, everyday bike but wants more power than a 600, yet doesn't want the high insurance premiums of a liter bike. Already released abroad, the FZ8 is set to go on sale in December. Along with its dealership release is a host of factory accessories including frame sliders, guard, grab bars and lower and seat cowls. It will be offered only in black with a MSRP of $8,490.
