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…
While these early TZR’s aren’t as coveted as the early 90’s ones, they can provide a lot of smoke for the buck. This one has the classic Yamaha colors, less than 5,000 miles, and the current bid of $2650 is reserve met. That’s a lot of fun for less than $3k! To be totally honest,…
Attention California buyers! Here’s a great looking RZ500 that is described as better than average. It definitely looks like a well preserved original with some refreshed panels. And sporting a fresh rebuild with just 700 miles ensures you’re looking at a bike that is ready for several riding seasons ahead. The seller clearly states that…
It looks like the melting snow in much of the country is uncovering rare gems that are begging to be ridden. While the last RZV we posted probably didn’t have to live indoors due to the snow, today’s bike has low-ish miles, some thoughtful mods, and enough spares to put it back into OEM condition.…
The RZV500 is one of the most popular bikes we post on RSBFS and this is one of the more unique examples I’ve seen. At a glance it is absolutely spotless and obvious that it was a labor of love. Look closer and you start to notice deviations from stock around and behind the bodywork.…
I have yet to talk to a rider who doesn’t look fondly upon the FZR 400. While not the littlest Fizzer in the lineup, the 400 somehow achieved the perfect blend of great handling and good enough power. While it will never pull like a liter-bike, it will run circles around one on tighter racetracks.…
