Update 2.25.2019: We last saw this bike listed by the same seller in November of 2017 for a buy-it-now of $10,500. It’s back on eBay and bidding is underway. Good luck to buyers and seller! Links updated. -dc
After a short quiet period, friend of the site Gary in Utah is back on eBay, somehow with yet more incredible grey-market machines on offer. Today’s offering is a lovely 1994 Yamaha FZR400RR SP, the gnarliest 400 Yamaha made in the ’90s, sharper, faster, lighter and angrier than the bog-standard FZR400R and FZR400RR.
1994 Yamaha FZR400RR SP for sale on eBay
These got license plates, but they were really best suited to track use, with carbon bits, solo saddles, fully adjustable suspension and a rack of flat slide carbs complemented by a better exhaust and a modified intake. There were faster 400s out there, but the Yamahas had a reputation for corner speed and handling accuracy that still draws wistful stares from Those Who Know.
Being from Gary’s collection, the bike you see here is surgically clean and in near-perfect condition, with all its legal rigamarole taken care of and a clean title. It has covered a handful over 6,000 miles, so it should be good to go for many more.
