At the heart of the 2012 Yamaha FZ8-N sport motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 779 cc (47.5 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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 FZ8-N measures 211 kg (465 lbs) dry. 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 1,461 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.91 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 288 km (179 miles) between fill-ups.
