Update 3.1.2014: The seller has decided to pull the bike from the market and ride another season. -dc Normally when you see one of these on our site it’s available in Europe.

We witnessed some amazing sales last year with pre-OW01 FZR750R’s last year. Today’s example has traveled a bit over 1300 miles and has some mild modifications that appear easy enough to return to stock. The seller’s buy-it-now seems to reflect this with an asking of $7500. dc 1988 Yamaha FZR750R for sale on eBay from…
SOLD Today’s Featured Listing is this RD400 Daytona Special. Reviews in it’s day remarked that this 2 stroke was for hooligans and wheelie addicts. 1979 marked the end of the RD400 and the Daytona Special was Yamaha’s way of celebrating their success at the fabled racetrack.

Update 4.13.2014: This one is back on eBay after failing to sell with a high bid of $26,500. It now wears a $28k buy-it-now. -dc We don’t get the chance to share Yamaha FZR750RR’s too often with a production run of just 500 worldwide. Even more rare, I can’t say I’ve ever seen one with…

Produced in limited numbers it featured a very peaky 5 valve 750cc engine that breathed through huge flat-slide carbs and was mated to a close ratio gearbox. Ohlins rear shock and fully adjustable suspension up front made it one…
