When Yamaha released the FZ6R to the public earlier this year I was quick to review it. I hastily found a brand new one, barely a week out of its crate, and went to work. Over the course of half a day I flogged the bike through corners, around treacherous terrain (bumpy roads, gravel, etc.), up and down hills, through the mountains, and then back into good old city riding. It as a memorable half day, as the Yamaha FZ6R would become one of my all time favorite casual motorcycles.
What is a "Casual" Motorcycle?
Unlike the Yamaha R6, which is a super-sport motorcycle, the Yamaha FZ6R has certain conveniences that make it appealing for new and experienced riders alike. It has a more upright riding position, with less lean to the handle bars. This makes it more comfortable to sit on and ride, and after nearly half a day of abuse and hard riding my back still wasn't sore. On the R6 my back would have been killing me within an hour.
Not only that, but it doesn't pack a 160 horsepower engine. In fact, though Yamaha has been very hush-hush about just how much power it does make, you will find that the FZ6R is rather slow in comparison to any 600cc+ super-sport. Then again, that's like saying that the Chevrolet Corvette is slower than the Ferrari F430. At no point should you think that the Yamaha FZ6R is a slow machine, as it will still complete a quarter mile in around 12 seconds, and it will still outrun just about everything else on the street.
One look at the Yamaha FZ6R is enough to make someone fall in love. Distinct styling, combined with aggressive fairing and wide tires (for the size of motorcycle) give the FZ6R a unique look. Without a doubt, the FZ6R is not lacking curb appeal. Of course, all the aggressive fairing in the world won't mean a thing if the motorcycle handles like a Vespa.
Starting up the motorcycle reveals the silky-smooth idle of the fuel injected four cylinder former R6 engine, and once you rev it (and you will want to) you will be rewarded with an angelic exhaust tone. True, this is not a pocket rocket. Also true is the fact that the FZ6R isn't really any faster than any of its primary competition (Kawasaki Ninja 650R, Suzuki SV650S). However, the amount of personal satisfaction that owners of this motorcycle are sure to enjoy will easily outweigh any of those minor shortcomings.
And believe me when I say that they are indeed minor. Once you have this bike moving you will be experiencing a riding situation that is far and beyond what most "entry level" motorcycles offer. There is no clunky carbureted engine, no lacklustre acceleration, and no disapproving looks from other motorcycle riders. There is speed when you need it, there is the ride that you want (stiff, but not too stiff), and the aesthetics that cause other people to constantly ask you what you're riding.
Ride this bike hard and it will reward you with sub-12 second acceleration times (your $8,000 motorcycle will keep up with $180,000 Ferrari's), enthusiastic turn-in, and the ability to stop your newfound lover on a dime.
So How Good Is It?
This may very well be one of the best entry level middleweight sport bikes ever conceived, and in my humble opinion this motorcycle is worthy of respect from any rider, regardless of their experience level. Get on one, ride it, and see for yourself- you'll be glad you did.

| Yamaha fz8 2011 Specifications and Features |
| Yamaha fz8 2011 pictures,Photos and images |
2011 Yamaha FZ8 joins the American FZ motorcycle model line-up. The Yamaha FZ8 inherits proven Yamaha R1 and FZ1 technologies, including forged aluminum pistons, fracture-split carburized connecting rods, and ceramic-composite-plated cylinders. The Yamaha FZ8 motor's compact, pent-roof combustion chamber has a 12:1 compression ratio with 26mm intake valves and 22mm exhaust valves, aids the production of both low-end torque and high-rpm power of this engine.The 2011 FZ8 is believed to be an improved version of the previous Yamaha bikes. It’s production was greatly inspired by its siblings; the FZ1 and FZ6.
The three FZ models share a common chassis, swingarm, and a majority of engine components. Also, the FZ8 was created with a good bottom end and gearbox that were that much better than the 2008 R1. It has a faster engine performance that reduces the boredom brought on by the 1000cc FZ1, and a four-valve head design upgrading the FZ1’s five-valve.
Overall length, fork rake, and trail figures are identical between the FZ8 and FZ1, but the FZ8's inverted 43mm KYB forks aren't adjustable like the FZ1's, while the FZ8's rear shock is only preload adjustable, unlike the FZ1's preload and rebound-adjustable suspension. Stopping power comes from dual disc 310mm four-piston brakes up front, and a single-disc rear.The 2011 Yamaha FZ8 is priced at $8,490 and shares numerous basic components with its big brother FZ1. Its upright posture splits the aggressive ergonomics of fully-faired sport bikes like the R6 and R1, and comfier long range sport tourers like the FJR1300A.
Yamaha fz8 2011 specs features
- The muscular,
- naked bike styling gives it an aggressive,
- mass-forward stance while the comfortable,
- upright riding position with a compact design contributes to the bike’s first-rate handling.
- The compact, pent-roof combustion chamber has a high 12.0:1 compression ratio with 26mm intake valves and 22mm exhaust valves contributes both to the superb torque and high-rpm power of this engine.
- The intake funnels for cylinders 2 and 3 are 25mm longer than the two outside cylinders and helps maximize the engine’s punchy torque delivery.
- A controlled-fill aluminum die-cast swing arm saves weight and is tuned for excellent handling.
- Superb braking power is accomplished via 310mm front discs,
- squeezed by monoblock four-piston calipers,
- a single 267mm rear disc
- 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels contribute to the light and neutral handling character.

The SZ-R is by all means a good looking bike and won't look out of place when placed alongside the comparitively costlier current crop of 150 cc bikes. But one has to point out that features like a hi-beam/pass flasher and a trip meter has been omitted from the Yamaha SZ-R.
Adding to SZ and SZ-X charisma are the sophisticated meter panel, shroud with dynamic image, modern look dual tail lights, full plastic chain case (gives protection from dust & water), robust side cover and 5-spoke cast wheel.
The new YBR 125 motorcycle, on the other hand, has chiseled looks and enthralls the commuter with a comfortable riding experience.The motorcycle is targeted towards executive segment customers who want a commuter bike that has a universally accepted design, gives a feeling of solidity & robustness and satisfactory mileage at an affordable price.
The bike is equipped with 123cc engine and 4-Speed gear box. YBR 125 will be available in three colors - Red, Black and Black-Red colors. Booking of the bikes will start immediately.With the Yamaha signature all over, the trio SZ, SZ-X and YBR 125 are extremely well engineered, comfortable, stylish and promise to be the best bikes in respective segments.
