Another sly shot of their coming 800 cc streetbike line has been issued by Yamaha, this one showing the plastic-covered face of the Fazer 8.

Yamaha previously showed a pic of a naked bike, the FZ8, which will replace the FZ6 in their line-up. CMG notified you of that in November.

A CMG reader commented back then that he wasn't thrilled by the lack of a front windscreen and fairing, and Yamaha listened — or maybe they were already onto that notion. We'll take the credit anyway.

More will be revealed shortly, as the two models are staged for a public beta release in March.

Meanwhile, what we know is that the bikes will be 800 cc models, in-line fours, and made by Yamaha.
