The FZR600 doesn’t get talked about as much as its bigger 1000cc sibling, but it deserves the credit. Yamaha barely touched the platform between 1989 and 1993 because they nailed it out of the gate: steel twin-spar Deltabox frame, forward-canted Genesis engine, and a chassis good enough that 9 of the top 10 finishers at its Daytona debut in 1989 were on Yamahas, with John Kocinski taking the win. This ’91 is a single-headlight year, the one where Yamaha ditched the dual-round-lamp look for the sharper rectangular unit. Some people prefer the earlier face. Either way it’s unmistakably early-90s Yamaha.
The Vance & Hines can is a nice period-correct touch on a bike from an era when the brand was genuinely racing these things at Daytona. Can’t speak to what it’s doing for the midrange without a dyno sheet, but it looks the part. The seller being upfront about the intermittent running issue and recommending a carb and fuel system service is the kind of honesty that actually helps here. A 35-year-old bike running four Mikunis that’s never had the bowls cleaned is a ticking time bomb regardless of how good the rest of the bike looks, and calling it out up front means you’re not finding out the hard way after you’ve won it.
No reserve on BaT means this one sells no matter what. Question is whether it goes to someone who’s going to sort the carbs and put miles on it, or someone who tucks it away as a clean example of a bike most people forget existed. Either way works.
