Tell us what you think of this 800 FZ8 Red Line 2012

presentation of the 800 FZ8 Red Line 2012

yamaha's roadster range welcomes a special edition of the FZ8. With its striking name, the FZ8 Red Line conveys a sportier temperament. Which is only logical, given that it's an SP-R version in black with a wide red stripe. The SP-R kit includes a Lazer exhaust system and Öhlins shock absorber, making the roadster even sportier and more rigorous. The package also includes an engine cover, a plate holder, FZ1 radiator scoops and protective pads.

to become Red Line, Yamaha adds a set of stickers (what? no paint?) running from bow to stern. If the look is more racing, we'd expect more from a special series than a set of stickers. Priced at 500 euros more than a standard FZ8, the Red Line clearly makes an effort on the price, given the SP-R equipment installed.

Very good, reliable machine. 11/27/2024 22:21 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Merkel 15

Nostalgie

Jeff2A Model 2012

This little-known model was released somewhat hastily and had a brief existence, as it was rather poorly placed between two successful models: the FZ6, which it replaced in 2010, and the MT09, which succeeded it in 2013.
But in the segment below the FZ1, another successful model!
The FZ8's main raison d'être at the time was to compete with the Z750, but it never succeeded despite the latter's limitations, even though it was already at the end of its career.
It barely managed to compete with the GSR 750, which was also released a few months later in a bit of a disaster, and was just as mechanically efficient, but much less well finished! Nevertheless, the FZ8 remains a safe bet for second-hand bikes, offering good value for money in terms of performance and handling. 08/13/2024 16:26 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Jeff2A

Newly licensed at 48 (it's never too late...), and so first motorcycle and I agree with Cool Dog above, excellent choice for a 1st bike. My only two modifications: I replaced the fork springs with OHLINS and a Bagster gel seat. Pure joy. 12/11/2014 16:04 Rating : 4/5 Respond to lionel8754

Hi,

I didn't understand what you wanted, Jade.
Do you want to buy it, order it from Reunion Island or find out about prices overseas? 11/22/2012 08:47 Rating : 3/5 Participate in the conversation
