Blame it on the ’90s. The wild paint job on this FZR1000 is definitely different than the standard Yamaha red/white to which we are all accustomed. But beneath the neon shades there exists the same genesis-derived 1 liter monster that even by today’s standards makes remarkable power. This bike is a beast on the boil,…
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. Not this one, it’s in Texas and available today as our latest Featured Listing! Legally imported with paperwork in 2011, this one should…
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.

This is example has only 2039 original miles and…
Lets start with the rider first. It’s a 1985 Yamaha RZ500 with a mere 7000 miles and available in Florida. It has some minor modifications and a few minor needs, but bidding has been very steady. It has passed reserve and currently over $11k with about 2 days to go. 1985 Yamaha RZ500 for sale…
Today we have a great survivor, an 89 FZR1000. While there were plenty sold there are few that remain in this kind of condition. While the later Thunderace that followed shared many of the FZR1000 ingredients, in my mind the FZR1000 was a bit more raw and elemental. dc 1989 Yamaha FZR1000 for sale on…
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…
