1989 Yamaha FZR 400 for sale
Update 11.15.2011: Back on eBay, links updated. -dc
Location: Cape Coral, FL
Mileage: 4,695
Price: $4,500 B.I.N.
Looks like a nice one with a lot and I mean a lot of modifications along the way. My favorite thing is the period correct Kerker exhaust. This is the exact same one I had on my track 400 back in the day; albeit mine was a little more beat up.
There are a few things that raise an eyebrow about this bike and the amount of money the seller is asking for it. It is a lot of cash for a FZR400! I sold my bone stock 90 for $4,000 and at that time it was the highest price I’d seen one sell for, but as of late I’ve noticed prices creeping up. *Usually* stock 400’s command more money, but that is not the case with this one. Back to the eyebrow thing……
1. Why lighten a rear rotor for the street?
2. The swing arm, brake control arm and chain guard are all painted black
3. It’s missing the Yamaha sticker on the tank
4. It’s missing the Yamaha sticker on the windscreen
5. The rear foot rests are missing
6. It has a super fork brace
7. Missing the stock front blinkers
8. It has spring pre-load adjusters
9. Has an odd FZR sticker on the tank
10. Has something funny on the gas cap ring
I know I’m being a little on the negative side about this machine, but don’t get me wrong- it has the lowest miles we’ve seen on a FZR400 in a long, long while and that is a good thing. I like this one, but #’s 1-10 are all things I did to my race bike and this one is said to have never seen the track.
You are bidding on a mint condition 1989 Yamaha FZR400. I am the only owner and this bike has never been raced or been down. It comes with a Kirker 4-1 exhaust system; a factory seat cowl plus a Corbin full seat; JEM Machine fork pre-load adjusters and fork brace;Dynojet carb kit and K&N air filter; Race Tech Gold Valve fork cartridge; Traxxion Dynamics Penske rear shock; Sproket Specialists front/rear sprokets;; rear disc lightened by TCM Prod.; Competition Werkes rear fender eliminator kit; Russell front/rear steel braided brake lines.; Ferodo brake pads; Flanders flush mount front turn signals; plus numerous TI and stainless nuts, bolts, and hardware; new Pirelli Sport Demons and probally other stuff that I just can’t think of now
Penske, Traxxion, Race Tech, Ferodo, and braided lines.. remove the lights and hit your local track with a $4,000 22 year old machine???

Its got a full coverage tank bra on it. Nice Bike!
I like how he pictures it with the tank bra with the stock seat and pillion cover, but without the bra and the Corbin seat. Also looks like Oberon foot pegs bolted to stock brackets. Only real mod it is missing IMHO is a TZR-250 rear wheel so you can spoon some decent rubber onto it.
You know, they have alot of nice bikes in Florida but I don’t recall ever seeing any good twisty mountain roads (aside from freeway on ramps) to ride a proper sport bike. Yet, I’ve seen loads of ads for good bikes saying “Never seen a race track”. Really? Today more than ever with everybody hosting track days and Florida having some of the best racetracks around, “Caveat Emptor” seems to be in order.
As the owner of 2 FZR400’s I wish the seller good luck.
Worth 3 grand at best during a healthy economy.
I see it has drilled and pinned axle bolts and an aftermarket metal chain guard. I’d like to see what else is safety wired. It certainly seems like a track bike to me.
I’ve got a bone stock ’88 fizzer, love it! I’d suspect this one’s seen some track time.
I had a 92 FZR600 before. Pretty cool bikes.
