About Yamaha Fazer 8 2014
Introducing the 2014 Yamaha Fazer 8, a motorcycle that captures the essence of sport riding with a perfect blend of performance, comfort, and versatility. Positioned in the sport category, the Fazer 8 is designed for both spirited rides through twisty backroads and commutes through urban landscapes. With its aggressive styling and athletic stance, this bike is not just built for speed but also for the everyday rider seeking practicality without sacrificing the thrill of the open road.
At the heart of the Fazer 8 lies a robust 779cc in-line four engine that delivers an exhilarating 104.73 horsepower at 10,000 RPM and a torque of 82 Nm at 8,000 RPM. The compression ratio of 12.0:1, paired with electronic fuel injection, ensures that power delivery is smooth and responsive, making it a joy to ride. Whether you're accelerating through the gears or cruising at a steady pace, the 6-speed gearbox offers seamless shifts, providing riders with the confidence to tackle any terrain. The liquid-cooled engine not only maintains optimal performance but also enhances durability, ensuring that the Fazer 8 can handle the demands of both spirited riding and daily commutes with ease.
Yamaha has equipped the Fazer 8 with a host of features that elevate the riding experience. The black powder-coated aluminum die-cast Deltabox frame is not only lightweight but also contributes to the bike's agility and handling. The front upside-down telescopic fork and linked monoshock rear suspension, both offering 130mm of travel, ensure a balanced and comfortable ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road. With optional ABS braking for both the front and rear, riders can enjoy enhanced safety and control, especially in challenging conditions. The Fazer 8 also boasts a 17-liter fuel tank, providing ample range for longer rides, while the adjustable seat height of 815mm ensures that riders of various sizes can find their perfect fit.

- Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and advanced suspension setup provide excellent maneuverability and comfort on all types of roads.
- Versatile Riding Experience: Suitable for both daily commutes and weekend adventures, making it a great all-rounder for various riding styles.
Cons:
- Weight Consideration: At 215 kg (474 lbs) with fluids, some may find it a bit heavy compared to lighter sport bikes, potentially affecting low-speed handling.
- Limited Wind Protection: The small windshield may not provide sufficient wind deflection for taller riders on longer journeys.
- Optional ABS Adds Weight: While the safety feature is commendable, the addition of ABS can increase the overall weight of the bike by 5 kg.
The 2014 Yamaha Fazer 8 is a dynamic and versatile motorcycle that caters to both the sport enthusiast and the everyday rider. With its impressive performance, cutting-edge technology, and thoughtful design, it stands out as a worthy contender in the sport bike arena.
