So I have to admit when I first saw this photo I assumed that someone had had the bike repainted. Then I took a closer look. I guess even a fan of 90’s era sportbikes and all their graphic glory, like myself, had forgot just how far things went. It was certainly a defining era in terms of graphics and while it’s easy to laugh now, many of the 90’s bikes I think look better than the all black framed, black fairing bikes of today.
The seller provides lots of information-
Your looking at a posting of a very rare 1994 YAMAHA FZR 1000 cc motorcycle in Black Metallic with stock original graphics. Its rare in the fact that not many of these were made overall and the black metallic color scheme was mostly sold outside of the U.S. and the white color scheme was sold mostly in the U.S. These are hard to find, and most people that had these wish they still owned them now. Looks brand new, never dropped, no accidents, no problems ever, very reliable, well built trouble free bike, well maintained.
It boast 145 hp. Its a 4 cylinder boasting 5 valves per cyclinder( 3 intake, 2 exhaust), for a total of 20 valves total ( 3 intake, 2 exhaust). Uses the original EXUP exhaust system that monitors efficiency and helps with power efficiency where its needed thru the exhaust system. It was the fastest bike, time trial and overall speed for its year. States that its overall top speed is 174 mph. Its carburated and not fuel injected and its been kept exactly stock as it came out of the showroom. Its a short frame aluminum chassis, with a large 1000 cc motor.
Adult owned, original owner, well maintained. Fluids changed seasonally. Tires in great condition. No leaks. Maintained by certified motorcycle mechanic who is passionate about making the bike run true and correct and babies it as much as I do. Last season the mechanic did a scheduled radiator flush with new fluid. I’m putting this out there for former owners that wished they still owned this bike or wish they owned this bike back then. Helmet in pic not included….this post is just for the turn key working motorcycle only! Needs nothing, practically brand new with 14,000 miles on it…….less then 1000 miles per year. Heated winter storage for all of its life.
Only serious inquiries and offers will get email responses back. Anyone under the age of 21 years of age needs a parent present when purchasing this motorcycle. No tire kickers and no free rides. TOP LEFT PIC IS THE MOST RECENT PIC.

1994 Yamaha FZR1000
The FZR1000 is a very well-balanced bike with massive amounts of power. The chassis is perfectly capable of maintaining its composure under the stress of a motor at full throttle, and this makes the ride and the feel of the bike more enjoyable.
One of my favorite things about this machine is its extreme light weight and maneuverability. Due to its layout with 45 degree angled cylinders and relatively low seat height it feels lighter than a brand new R1, although it’s about 50 pounds heavier. The bike is very easy to handle around town and it has a very satisfying acceleration.
When you ride the FZR1000 you feel like you are a part of the machine and the ride is more enjoyable. On the modern sport bikes you are perched on top of the bike and the ride is not so comfortable.
But what goes fast, needs to stop fast and the FZR1000 has no problem with powerful braking. The bike’s solid and reliable braking system will do the job for you every single time.
The bike’s powerful engine really starts to scream when you hit 7000 RPM and no moving object on the road will leave you behind at full throttle.
The 20-valve inline four built by Yamaha is one of the most reliable power plants ever constructed so you will ride the bike with no worry.
Conclusion:
The people that own these motorcycles take very good care of them so it wouldn’t be hard for you to find a bike that looks great and rides smoothly. If the owner has the full service history of the bike and you are satisfied with the miles, than you should really consider buying it. Also make sure that the tires are in good shape because they aren’t so durable on sport bikes and they don’t come cheap.
Yamaha’s FZR1000 was considered the Best Street bike in the 90’s. It was the bike to own in those days: very fast, beautiful and handled like no other. (END)

Not many photos, except proof that the paint actually is factory Yamaha-
This looks to be an all original and well cared for FZR. There are not many photos, so you may want more close ups to make sure things are right cosmetically and in terms of original parts. The paint looks good in the available photos and nothing immediately stands out as being replaced. Mileage is not bad at all and if well maintained should not be an issue.
This looks like a clean and original ’94 FZR1000 with graphics that leave no guessing as to what era it came from. For all you Yamaha guys out there or folks that just remember these back in the day and always wanted one, here’s your shot at it!

now I see why it is rare graphics that reminds me of the ugly dirt bikes of the early 90’s.
The matching helmet is worth the price all by itself!
At the time, the GSXR1100 crushed the FZR1000 in the street bike wars. But the Perimeter Frame concept was cutting edge and was obviously the direction that race bikes were headed, so the big FZR was heralded as a benchmark. Didn’t matter that any 18 year old could twist a throttle on a Gixser and smoke it. Yamaha also had pretty poor taste in graphics at the time. None the less, still an incredibly cool bike.
[…] original and low mileage. It doesn’t have the killer over-the-top 90′s graphics of this one. But it is a killer looking ride. And these bikes put out enough power (roughly 140 ponies) to keep […]
I owned 2 of these and can say they were incredible bikes. The GSXR 1100’s of the day didn’t have a prayer on the street against the big FZR. The bike that got my goat was the Duc 916. Under a rider that could feel it out, it was impossible to hang with.
