1989 YAMAHA - Lot 52

1989 YAMAHA Type FZX Serial no.: 6089 750 cm3 French registration 3 000 / 5 000 € This roadster-type Yamaha 750 FZX is powered by a willing four-cylinder engine, with a temperament and original styling that's always a hit with enthusiasts. This machine was born and bred, and sold well until 1993. The engine wasn't the first 100 hp, but its design could be said to be far more innovative than that of the GSX-R: 20-valve cylinder head, 45° water-cooled cylinder block tilt, vertical carburetor positioning and 5-bearing linkage. The chassis is more classic. The frame has a double steel cradle, but displays real sporting qualities. The front axle is fitted with a 16-inch wheel, very much in vogue at the time, intended to provide greater handling without compromising the GSXR's bike-like qualities. The FZ oscillates between classicism and modernity, taking the best of both. And if it's less playful than the Suzuki, it's also more reassuring and a little stiffer. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the usual tune-ups required to keep these machines in the collector's museum. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the customary restarts required by the immobilization of these machines in the collector's museum. 1989 YAMAHA Type FZX Serial no.: 6089 750 cm3 French registration 3 000 / 5 000 € This roadster-type Yamaha 750 FZX is powered by a four-cylinder engine of excellent willingness, with a temperament and original styling that always make emulators.
