You read that right. 600 miles.
Ok, It’s really about 620 and climbing because it’s so fun to ride.

It had been sitting for 28 years when I bought it from the owner with 162 miles on it.
The original owner traded it in for another bike then regretted his decision and bought it back the next day so it turns out I’m actually the second owner!

I went through EVERYTHING except motor tear down.

The condition has to be seen to be believed. When I finished it, I rode it to Gear Shifters and was immediately invited to put it in the 520 Moto Alliance show.

I followed the factory manual break in procedure to the letter. The oil looked clean coming out and now has fresh Castrol full synthetic 10-40 and a new filter.

Here’s a list of upgrades and services performed:
*K&N air filter
*Ohlins shock with remote preload adjuster.
*New fork seals.
*New jets
*New fuel sender
*New petcock
*New battery
*Spiegler steel braided brake and clutch lines.
*Vortex sprocket and chain set.
*Samco hoses and clamps.
*VP coolant. (the coolest)
*Bridgestone Hypersport S22 tires
*I have all the original hardware but I replaced some of it with color matched Pro Bolt alloy fasteners.
*I have a bunch of extra stuff that goes with it like another set of carburetors, lower fairing bra, decals, original shock, etc.

I don’t have to sell it but I’d like to make room for another project.

Honestly, It’s a super fun bike that turns heads but I’m 6’2″ and I have to fold myself up like a chicken wing to ride it.

There might be other stuff I forgot about but if you are really interested, I’m happy to talk about it. Reply with your phone number if you want me to call or text.

The 1995 Yamaha FZR1000 is possibly the rarest of the early FZR liter family. When they first arrived on the scene in ’87, they pretty much dominated the sport bike category until the arrival of the Honda Fireblade in ’93.

Although the fizzer had more power and was quicker in the 1/4 mile, the CBR900RR was a great deal lighter and that proved the ultimate demise of the beloved FZR and the start of the lighter weight movement which was then taken “down” by the lighter, more powerful YZF R1.

The FZR1000 went through a few changes up until the ’94 model but the most notable was the color scheme. The ’94 & ’95s wild colors screamed “90s” and is a big reason they are prized by collectors today.

This example may be the nicest, lowest mileage ’95 in existence. I can’t prove that, but it’s an educated hunch.

Just wish I could display it along side my ’94. I think I’ll buy a couple lottery tickets today.
