Another day, another good looking RZ500. Life at RSBFS is good. This particular example is not as clean as the RZ500 in Canada posted earlier in the week, but it is still a freaking RZ500, and the fact that it is already titled in the United States makes it pretty freaking cool. Check out all…
RZ500 models from Yamaha are a continual RSBFS fan favorite, and here is an interesting one. Purported to be stock with the usual wear and tear, this one has 20k+ miles, with an engine rebuild fewer than 500 miles ago. The seller doesn’t state how comprehensive the rebuild was (top end only? rings? overbore?), but…
It’s springtime across the country, and great bikes are popping up everywhere like spring flowers. We have seen a significant number of great looking FZR400s emerge from winter hibernation. And this particular Alaskan Fizzer comes with spares. LOTS of spares. Yes, it has been tracked. Probably a ton of track days. But isn’t that the…
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re kind of obsessed with these 400’s. Today’s example has a bit over 19k miles and has reportedly never been tracked. The panel condition backs this up with just minor wear in places. The only upgrade is the Vance and Hines pipe but the rest looks stock and intact. The…
5.11.2014: Previously bid to $14,256 with no sale last month, this RZ500 is back on eBay with an opening bid of $16,500 and appears to be no reserve. Good luck to buyers and seller. Links updated, -dc Rather, it’s really in the house as seen in the photographs. More importantly it’s another very nice RZ500…
While other parts of the world enjoyed the YZF750 is greater numbers, the U.S. did not. It was only sold for a few years and it was not a huge success here. Now that two decades have passed, these are a great alternative to other 750’s of the period and are rarely seen in original…
A continual fan favorite, the Yamaha FZR400 has long been regarded as one of the best handling motorcycles to come out of Japan. Popular on the racetrack, many of these mid-range Fizzers have lived hard lives. This bike looks to be a bit different, in that it *appears* to be stock and unmolested. If that…
While today’s liter bikes are measured by an even higher standard of speed, in the late 80’s the 5 valve Yamaha Genesis motor was the top dog in the speed race amongst manufacturers. While the OW01 was certainly more exotic, the FZR 1000 provided even more punch in a straight line and still held it’s…
