The Yamaha FZ8 Fazer is not set for its official debut until May, but Motociclismo.it says these are leaked pics of the final version bike. The Fazer 8 will have both faired and naked versions, as seen in the pics below, based on the same chassis. The FZ8 could replace the FZ6 model, and you can see the official FZ8 teaser in the picture above.

The FZ8R should tip the scales at about 220 kg, making it a heavy bike, which is about 4.5 kg heavier than the FZ8 naked version. The FZ8 is looking very similar to the Yamaha FZ1, with the 800 cc motor also rumoured to be based on the bigger bike. We could be looking at 120 hp, and torque is expected to be impressive as well.

We don’t know at this stage whether the FZ8 will actually replace the FZ6, or be an additional option in the line-up, placed between the FZ1 and the FZ6. There’s no word from Yamaha about whether it will bring forward the presentation date after these leaked pics, if that’s what they are (though I’m not sold on that), but we think we can expect some more details soon.
