For Sale is a 1989 Yamaha FZR 1000. I am the original owner of the bike. Modifications include a period correct Yoshimura slip, and a set of Kuni flat side Carbs. Everything else on the bike is original. Factory exhaust, airbox, and original owners manual will be included. Price will continually be adjusted to reflect the market trend on the bike as shown in the screenshot photos, and is still priced aggressively. Price is not negotiable, so don’t email asking.

The FZR gets attention on this site and thanks to one of our subscribers, this one landed on our lap. Back in 2014 Dan found one with only 6k miles that was bidding just under $7,000 with 4 days still to go. “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 own when dipped into a corner.”
For the gear-heads that like to know all the specs, check out this MCS page on the Yamaha FZR. This example has been ridden and it looks to be well maintained. The seller posted the value according to Haggarty and it seems for bikes of ‘good’ condition or better, the value is only rising. If the FZR is on your list go check it out.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
I would hope he still has the original carbs. I notice he only mentions that he has the stock airbox and exhaust.
