Yamaha Motorcycles was formed in 1955 and the first bike produced was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues to this day. The FZ range was launched with the FZ750 in 1985 in answer to Suzuki's trendsetting GSXR750, followed by the FZR1000 Genesis in 1987 with its major feature, an all-new aluminium perimeter-type frame marketed as the 'Deltabox'. Although Yamaha had previously been using aluminium Deltabox frames on their race machines, this would be its first application on such a large production road-going bike. In 1989 the bike was once again improved with a more sculpted frame and the addition of the 'EXUP' exhaust valve.
This 1989 Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP has recently benefited from a good overhaul, including a new pair of Bridgestone tyres and a set of HEL braided brake lines. Various parts have been powder-coated, including the wheels, rear subframe, air ducts and the engine side cases, together with a new screen. Included in the sale is a single seat convertor, the bike has recently passed an MOT (2nd May, 2025) and it will be supplied with a current V5C.
