Description
1987, Yamaha FZR750, Genesis, 23k Miles, Petrol, Manual, £3, 995 -
Offered for sale is a true legend of the superbike era - the 1987 Yamaha FZR750 Genesis. This was Yamaha's cutting-edge response to the superbike wars of the 1980s, and it helped lay the foundation for the iconic YZF-R line-up that would follow.
Powered by the revolutionary 749cc DOHC inline-four with five valves per cylinder, the Genesis engine was a marvel of engineering, delivering high-revving power, razor-sharp throttle response, and serious race pedigree.
Combine that with Yamaha's signature Deltabox aluminium frame, and you get a chassis-engine package that was well ahead of its time.
