It's an yamaha fzr <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Nah I don't know could probably be 1991-2 but I'm just guessing cos I have a 1990 twin lights but the front cowel is different. It looks so sexy when new ey.
The little badge on the frame near the neck gives it away "OW01" <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.pitnet.com/bikes/fzrr750_owo1.htm">http://www.pitnet.com/bikes/fzrr750_owo1.htm</a><!-- m --> From that site "The FZR-R750 was a limited edition superbike produced in 1989. Above is a picture of two color schemes they came in. There were only 250 of these beauties made with only 30 imported into the USA. They still sale for well over (us)$10,000, if you can find one. ......."
Well done Dave! Well I found one - only 25K and she could be yours. 7866 km on the clock. It would almost be a shame to ride it. Yeh they only built 250 of them - to satisfy the requirements that they were racing a "production bike". I sat on it - it's definitely a race-only setup. Would be fun tho!
Just found another write up <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.speedzilla.com/forums/street-track/11597-great-1989-article-owo1.html">http://www.speedzilla.com/forums/street ... -owo1.html</a><!-- m --> I Imagine they are still a good ride by today's standards
The EXUP BROTHERHOOD forum has a section for the FZR750 OW01 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.exupworldwide.com/forum/index.php">http://www.exupworldwide.com/forum/index.php</a><!-- m -->
Hey thanks for posting that magazine write-up Dave. I tried Googling for how they actually did in competition, but couldn't find anything. Did they give those RC30's a run for their money?
I have no idea how they went. I might be able to find out on the brotherhood site, I'll put a post up there and see.
Read my post on the brotherhood <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.exupworldwide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=70984">http://www.exupworldwide.com/forum/view ... hp?p=70984</a><!-- m -->
