Yamaha FZ description

Yamaha FZ750R Custom Cafe Racer Motorcycle

This bike started out its life in 1985 as one of the most extreme bikes ever to come off the Yamaha production line. The FZ750R was the premier racing bike and for great reason. After meticulous care, re-design and quality part additions this beastly machine before you has come to life. Well maintained during its life and it was used for riding around town, easy 22k miles on it from casual use; never raced on the track.

The engine runs perfect and had the valves checked and adjusted a the beginning of summer.  Carbs were recently rebuilt and fuel gets there with a nice responsive throttle control. Fires right up with little to no choke and it's as smooth as the day it came off the assembly line. Exceptional acceleration off the line, very nimble and as much power as you would ever need.  The headlights, turn signals and all guages work.

The following were completely gone through
  • New fork seals
  • New aftermarket 4-into-1 exhaust pipes 
  • Aluminum baffled muffler which is deep and throaty
  • New rear spring for smooth, yet fully controllable feel
  • New brake pads and the calipers work like new
  • 2 new Continental "Conti GO" tires (front and back replaced at same time)
  • Rebuilt master cylinder and clutch slave/master
  • Fuel tank was re-lined
  • Brand new orange tint carbon fiber wind screen and chain guard
  • Heat resistant tape on lower exhaust
Custom touches include: the fiberglass cafe solo seat pan, hand stitched leather seat, rear and front LED brake and turn signal lights. The front fiberglass faring was shaped and cut down for an aggressive street bike appearance: somewhere between a naked bike and track ready rocket. Rear plastic removed to expose the beautiful engine and aggressive lines of the stock tank. The frame and engine were re-painted at an automotive shop, not a cheap DIY job with rattle cans.  The battery was hidden in the rear seat pan for a clean cafe look.  

Total custom paint job:  House of Kolors custom paint with cafe race stripes and the #46 (to honor the success of Valentino Rossi).   Wheel rims were sandblasted and painted black.  Bike is in near show-quality condition and performs flawlessly on the street.  

Engine: liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder with over 100hp at the rear wheel. 
Transmission:six-speed sequential close ratio gearbox. Wet clutch - hydraulically operated. Final drive is by O-ring chain and sprockets. 

Clear title in hand, no accidents, 100% ready to ride.


Payment: A non-refundable $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of the completion of the auction.  The remainder is due upon pick-up in Plymouth, Minnesota (zip: 55447). Buyer will have one week to take delivery of vehicle unless an extension is granted by the seller. 

Delivery: The winner of this auction is responsible for making arrangements for pick-up / delivery of the motorcycle.

Team Hammer Releases Martin Cardenas

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

AMA Pro Racing’s Team Hammer has released Martin Cardenas from his contract to allow the reigning AMA Daytona Sportbike Champion “to better pursue his goal of returning to World Championship competition as soon as possible.” Though the eventual goal appears to be for Cardenas to move up to the World Superbike Championship, rumors have Cardenas landing with the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team to race in the AMA Superbike Championship in 2013 as an eventual stepping stone towards international racing. Cardenas won the 2010 and 2012 AMA Daytona Sportbike championships with Team Hammer riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Team Hammer held a contract option for Cardenas for the 2013 season but decided to release the Colombian racer, allowing him to take a different route towards a WSBK career.

Results From Day 1 Of World Supersport Testing At Phillip Island

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

Despite losing the World Supersport title last year to a hard-charging Sam Lowes, Mahi Racing Team India’s Kenan Sofuoglu, aboard his Kawasaki ZX-6R, hasn’t lost any of the pace that has made him the overwhelming favorite heading into 2014. He topped the timesheets on the first day of testing at Phillip Island, setting a time of 1:33.521, putting him at near lap-record pace. Second on the day was Dutchman Michael van der Mark, aboard the Pata Honda CBR600RR.

The short but sweet life of the Yamaha R7

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

I was reunited with an old friend recently, my 1999 Virgin Yamaha R7 Superbike. By the end of 1998 I had won three straight BSB titles with the Yamaha YZF750, when main sponsor Cadbury’s pulled out leaving zero funds for a title defence. Wanting desperately to ride the new R7 and thinking a replacement backer would instantly get on board I turned down quite a few offers including a juicy contract from Crescent Suzuki (Paul Denning always enjoys reminding me).
