Aggressive, mass-forward design
The FZ8's muscular, forward-moving looks make it clear right from the start that this bike means business. The aggressive headlight and 3-piece tank cover set the tone, but it's the powdercoated frame and jet-black engine that steal the attention.
Aggressive 779cc engine
An assertive engine combines cylinder bodies, crankshaft, top end and forged pistons to deliver a displacement of 779cc – the perfect power curve and character for this unique category.
Instant torque meets slingshot horsepower
