Short listing, but the photos do some talking.
This was the last major revision for the FZR1000 before Yamaha handed the torch to the Thunderace, with production wrapping up the following year in ’95. The ’94 brought the fox-eye headlights back after a few years of the single-eye look, along with six piston front calipers replacing the earlier setup. Underneath the bodywork is the same Genesis five valve engine and Deltabox aluminum frame that got the FZR1000 crowned Cycle World’s Bike of the Decade back in ’89. That’s not nothing.
Black, purple, orange and teal is a scheme you either love or you don’t, and we’ve actually run this exact colorway before: a 1994 FZR1000 with 10,363 miles that asked $3,700. This one’s got a quarter of the miles and nearly double the price. Seems like good math.
Speaking of mods, this one’s wearing a Yoshimura slip-on instead of the stock exhaust. Doesn’t hurt the bike, but if you’re chasing all-original for a collection rather than a rider, factor that in.
Carbs recently rebuilt is the detail that matters most here. These sit for years and the carbs gum up, so a seller who’s already done that work took care of the annoying part for you.
Would you keep the Yoshimura on it, or track down a stock can and put this one away bone stock?
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
