Yamaha FZR400 description
Well I thought I'd never sell my race bike but it's time. I don't get out enough on the street and its to let someone else have some fun.
Currently set up for the street with all working lights, blinkers, mirrors, etc. Awesome track bike or canyon carver with "telepathic" handling which is why these are so hard to find in stock condition. The motor shrieks like a banshee when wound up (see video) . Bike needs absolutely nothing and is in excellent condition. Motor is very tight, doesn't leak oil or smoke and makes great power. I went through it completely, including new tires, for a track day earlier this summer and then didn't go. Comes with extra rear subframe and complete race body work (see picture) and tons of spares, including complete forks, water pump, black box, etc. etc. Easily enough to campaign a season of racing or sell for $500-1000 on Ebay. This is a true sport bike, not a comfy Sunday driver. If you want to strafe canyons or take a fast lightweight machine to the track, this is perfect. Also, since it is a customized bike I don't recommend buying it unless you have some mechanical aptitude and familiarity with motorcycle mechanics. I repair and restore bikes professionally and can attest that this is a one of a kind sweet machine. Raced but not beat up, meticulously maintained, clean and sharp. Raced at Road Atlanta, Daytona as well as local tracks here in Colorado and won an amateur championship back in 1997 Race tuned (for Denver elevation of 5,000 ft) with numerous dyno runs. Pulls hard all the way up to 14,000 RPM. Motor is like a two stroke with most power hitting hard at 10,000+ RPM 1mm over pistons (I forget the exact displacement but its in the low 400's cc's) Frame and geometry tuned by CompuTrac to mimic the handling of a TZ250 Powder coated wheels with polished rims Fox race shock Forks built by PK suspension with cartridge emulators and preload adjusters D&D race exhaust FZR1000 master brake cylinder and braided steel brake lines Custom rearsets (one of a kind) Pod filters on carburetors New battery New tires New chain and sprockets Lots of titanium hardware Lots of safety wiring in place Race side covers to protect engine (I have all stock covers) Gauges rearranged to show RPM's only (speedo not installed) I recommend local pickup so I can go over the bike and spares with the new owner. |
