2013 Yamaha Fazer 8 ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Yamaha's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Yamaha Fazer 8 ABS pairs a 779 cc (47.5 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 104.7 HP (76.4 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 82 Nm (60.5 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 134.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Fazer 8 ABS measures 220 kg (485 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.1 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
