1988 Yamaha FZR400$7500 CAD / $5500 USD.
17,829 km, completely original plastics, exhaust, upholstery in excellent condition.
Never been dropped or restored.
This is an original 35 year old bike so it’s not perfect but it’s close.– 399cc, 4 cyl, 60hp, 14k rpm redline
– less than 400lb
– sub 400cc (399) so cheap to insure, and even cheaper if you go for collector plates in BC
– 17,829km (Odometer photo taken Aug 2023. Updated as of Nov. 20th, 2023. May go up a little as it may be ridden before sale)
– original plastics, small marks, but no significant damage to paint, no cracks
– new tires in April 2023
– fork seals and front/rear caliper seals done in the last year
– runs, turns and stops brilliantly
– needs no work, though needs a fair amount of time on choke on cold starts, if it bothers you you could probably tune that outLocated in Victoria, BC. I don’t want to sell it, but I will be out of the country for a while and I’d rather see it used and taken care of my another owner than locked away in storage while I’m away.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
Nice spot and really fair price considering how complete it is. Who has guidance on how to purchase in Canada and bring to the states?

D’oh, one of my faves and I’m only an hour north of this. Regarding shipping to the states, fairly easy paperwork-wise and there is a ferry running to Washington state from Victoria.
