Been looking for that classic Yamaha liter bike to fill an empty space in your garage? Then look no further than this first year FZR1000. Granted, Yamaha didn’t update the engine and introduce the EXUP system on the FZR until 1989, but this year is still no slouch. With 135hp, this bike can still go 0-60mph in around 3 seconds and hit a top speed of 160mph.
This example looks to be in nearly stock condition minus the Vance&Hines pipe, blue windscreen, and Corbin seat. Your butt will thank you later for the seat. Mileage is also very low for its age with under 17k on the clock. I also see no physical evidence of it ever being down, which is impressive as I am sure that a number of these were flung off the road back in the day.
From the seller:
UP FOR AUCTION IS THE FANASTIC 1987 YAMAHA FZR 1000 GENESIS. THIS MOTORCYCLE NEEDS NOTHING. IT SHOWS AND RUNS LIKE IT WAS STILL THE YEAR 1987.
PLEASE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE IN MY AREA I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND COME LOOK AT THIS COLLECTORS PIECE YOURSELF. BID WITH CONFIDENCE AFTER REVIEWING MY EBAY SCORE.

Takes me back. In the mid ’90′s I had a blue/white ’88 with the same exhaust (and stage 3 kit). Was a heavy pig but really fast.
