presentation of the 800 FZ8 Race Blu 2013
the FZ8 "Race Blu" edition combines two of the distinctive features of the 2013 models. Technically, the roadster gains a new, more attractive and more vocal exhaust system, and above all, adjustable suspension. In the face of sharp competition, the "little" FZ1's main drawback was the lack of rigor in its damping.
visually, it takes up the color codes of THE Yam 2013 special series: a dress with blue and gray accents. Touches of color mark the rims, hubs and cylinder-head cover, and end with a border running from the shoulders to the buttocks. A new color is nothing out of the ordinary. However, Yamaha puts a lot of emphasis on its "Race Blu", which features a clever blend of "Yamaha Blue" and "Matt Grey", creating a style with urban accents. It was introduced by the MotoGP M1s at the Misano Grand Prix. The blue rims give the Yam "Race Blu Serie" a marked presence and a resolutely contemporary look. It's up to you to appreciate.

Fortunately, Yamaha came up with the MT09 in 2013, which had a far more successful career! That said, the FZ8 is still a very good second-hand bargain, and a very versatile machine, much better finished than the GSR750, which came out a year later but was, alas, a little too sloppy... Rating : 3/5 Respond to Jeff2A
i'm hesitating between 2 models, the MT-07 and the FZ8, both 2016 and new. Having been a fan of the R1, I'd like to switch to a more comfortable machine. What do you recommend if I want to continue riding for pleasure, without covering great distances?
thank you for your advice

I'd had the precaution of trying it out beforehand in MONTPELLIER (another new one with 1000 kms) and also the Z800, in a dealership in BEZIERS 860 kms or so, so new with IXIL exhaust, which is its main rival.
What I can say, since I've tested both, is that the Z800 has a more powerful engine, fuller, more generous at all revs, and looks great too.
The FZ8 is less flashy, with a less powerful engine, and just 100hp at full throttle (contrary to the 106 claimed, whereas the Z is basically 115). However, in terms of agility, the FZ8 is NETLY more agile, a fact that surprised me during testing and confirmed when I bought it. The FZ8 is less clumsy than the Z.
Why is that?
Well, take the weight of each, the height of each (center of gravity) and you'll have the answer.
In this review, I'm only talking about standard (unimproved) machines.
The choice is yours.........
I'm keeping an eye on the MT 10, which will have no equivalent in terms of full power, since it will be delivered legally in full. We're talking 160hp..........Houaaawwwwwwwwww Rating : 3/5 Respond to Nico34

Thanks Rating : 5/5 Respond to hamdi
It responds well in curves and acceleration is acceptable for the 106 HP, however a long use (8h00) becomes difficult to contain the pain of the posterior, the reliable engine and its electronics remains an attout not to be neglected. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Cool Dog
Torque from 5000. Possibility of storing a U and an anti-puncture spray under the seat. Efficient brakes. Easy to handle. Exhaust to be changed Rating : 4/5 Respond to terminat
