Built around Yamaha's sport motorcycle platform, the 2011 Yamaha Fazer8 ABS utilizes a 779 cc (47.5 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 82 Nm (60.5 lb-ft) at 8,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 68.0 x 53.6 mm (2.7 x 2.1 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Fazer8 ABS measures 219 kg (483 lbs) wet (curb). 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.
