The Yamaha FZR1000 was produced by Yamaha from 1987 to 1995. Classed as a ‘sports bike’, the FZR1000 was generally regarded as the world's finest production sports motorcycle at that time, and in its 1989 FZR1000R incarnation, the engine produced over 140hp with class-leading handling to match. The FZR1000R won ‘Bike of the Year’ throughout the motorcycle press and was crowned the "Bike of the Decade" by Cycle World. The machine was continually updated throughout its lifetime and continued to collect awards through the early 1990s. The big new feature was the Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) to smooth out power delivery.
Purchased approximately 8 years ago, this FZR1000 has not been used due to existing as part of a static collection of Japanese machines. In ‘as-purchased’ condition and not run for a while, it will need checking over and recommissioning before road use.
