Here are all the official pics of the new Yamaha FZ8 and Yamaha Fazer8. The bike was presented at the 2010 Roma motodays event after plenty of teaser shots and leaked pics. The new models complete the FZ1 and FZ6 range, which are also available in the Fazer semi-faired version. The FZ8 and Fazer8 are bikes with a distinctive style, designed to be agile but powerful.

Both are equipped with a new 779cc engine with 106.2 hp and maximum torque of 82 Nm (at 8,000 rpm). The models fit into the range between all-powerful superbikes and easy-to-manage, medium range sportbikes. The Fazer8 and FZ8 models are compact, with cast alluminium frames and swingarms, with rapid steering and good road grip.

The Fazer8 has more sports touring features across all riding conditions, although we’re still looking at super street performance levels, with better aerodynamics. The prices announced at the presentation have the FZ8 at about 8,190 euros, and the Fazer8 at 8,690 euros. See after the jump for the technical information on both bikes and the complete galleries.

Here’s another look at the 2010 Yamaha Fazer range. The new Yamaha YS 250 Fazer replaces the YBR250 and joins the larger models in the Fazer line-up. It has a new look in keeping with the latest naked models from Yamaha, and will be released first in Brazil, to be then released in Europe late this year on a selective basis.

The YS 250 Fazer has new, redesigned rear suspension and new instrumentation with LCD feature on the handlebars. The exhaust has also received an overhaul and it gets new graphics, but it’s still recognisable as coming from YBR stock. The price for the Brazilian market should be somewhere around the equivalent of 4,000 euros.

Just for the record, we thought we’d post the new Yamaha FZ8 and FZ8 Fazer pics again, and clarify what we’re going to call them to avoid any confusion. We first saw the FZ8 back in January as the more naked version of the two, and now Yamaha has released its first official pic of the Fazer8. It’s equipped with an 800cc, inline four engine. Both models will be debuting next month, on the 12th or 13th and we’ll have more details then. For now, we’ll all have to content ourselves with these two pictures.

After the leaked pics of the Yamaha FZ8 “Fazer” we saw yesterday, we can now show you the first official photo of the 2010 FZ8 courtesy of our colleagues at Motoblog.it. This new pic does the bike justice compared to the black and white shots from yesterday, but we get the feeling that this will be it until March 12, when the official FZ8 presentation will occur.
