Original Tires? 1986 Yamaha FZ600 W/5889 Miles
Hey, I’d be first in line for a classic low mile bike but I’m not sure I’d want the original tires from 1986! Is it amazing or crazy that the bike still has them on? Those 5889 miles on the clocks break down to just 235 miles a year. I’ve seen a few low mile classics this year and it continues to amaze me when I see an average sport bike like the little FZ with such little use.
I do see a few scrapes on the fairing and exhaust but overall it sure doesn’t look its’ age. I’m not holding out on any auction info, there wasn’t much there except the fact that it is a stock, clean bike with original tires.
How many of you were in high school in 86 and thought, “If I only had that rad FZ, I’d have the girls all over me”?
Just slightly different than what you see when you shop for a 600 in 2011. I don’t know how much demand there is for an 86 FZ600 but there has to be someone out there that wants to relieve their youth. Just do it on a fresh set of rubber. .

Those are not the original tires. Look closely at the bike. The body work looks great but everything else is rusty, tarnished or beat up. The foot pegs and chain look like it was submerged under water.
I put 15,000 miles on the same year and model bike. To this day I have the fondest memories of that motorcycle. This will probably be the bike I find a clean example of in a few years and do a full restoration. It was actually an amazing bike to ride! I bought mine when it was less than a year old and had about 2000 miles on it. I paid $2000.00 for it.
Very cool to see this bike! It is a piece of history an would imagine there would be some wear after all it is 25 years old.
Who ever buys it will be very lucky to have it in there collection. Rare sportbikes rule! keep it up
Errm, no, Yamaha’s never came with Metzeler ME33 Lasers and M45 rear tires. Wonder what else the seller’s misrepresenting?
Ive been looking for an 86′ for quite some time. It was my first bike ever back in 91. If any one has one for sale please contact Kevin at (661)645-4544
