    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.

    The little badge on the frame near the neck gives it away "OW01"

    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!

    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?
