I originally had it bare metal but I couldn't find a clear coat that worked well with WVs horrible humidity.Not looking for trades as I am leaving the area soon.

    For sale is a 1990 Yamaha YSR50 street bike.Keep in mind the tag says 1989 but the bike was made late June so the vin states its a 1990.This bike was used solely as a track bike and does not have lights signals or a kick start lever which can be installed if you dont want to track start it.The fiberglass body panels are in decent shape with a few cracks here and there and some runs in the paint the decals look very good.The gas tank is clean with NO rust,but I do not have a key for the tank cap.I cleaned out the carb and filled the bowl with fuel and push started and within 10 feet it fired up I have not ridden the bike just got it started.I also cleaned out the front break master cylinder and added new fluid. From what I can see the only thing that needs to be replaced is the tires.This bike was owned by a close friend in California that past away a few years ago so I purchased the bike from the estate sale. I dont think it was ever title or registered so it is being sold with no title but I can do a bill of sell.

    1989 Yamaha FZR 600 Low Mileage NO RESERVE You Bid - You Buy Up for sale is my 1989 Yamaha FZR 600.  The bike is absolutely a beautiful example of an '89 FZR 600.  I had the same bike 27 years ago!  It runs great and has very few flaws.  There is a stress crack in the right lower fairing (see pic) and one broken tab on the very bottom. There are some very light scratches and imperfections on the bike.  It runs, shifts, and stops like it should.  Fresh oil, fresh battery, and new tires.  The Fox shock is the only thing that appears to not be stock. The bike is 27 years old and not perfect, but it sure is a beauty!  In 2011, this bike was voted one of the top 50 best motorcycles of all time. (see link to article below).

Yamaha Files Trademark Application for FJ-09

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Yamaha‘s next three-cylinder motorcycle may be a sport-tourer, if a recently-filed trademark application is any indication. The Tuning Fork brand filed a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the name “FJ-09” as it applies to “Motorcycles, scooters, three-wheeled scooters and structural parts for all the aforesaid goods.” Following Yamaha’s usual naming conventions, the signs indicate the trademark will be for a new sport-touring model using the same Triple as the FZ-09. Yamaha has made it clear it plans to introduce more three-cylinder engines following the FZ-09 (or MT-09, as it is known in Europe.) Previously-filed trademark applications for the YZF-R3 and R3 names raised speculation the next triple would be a sportbike, but as per Yamaha’s usual naming convention, the “3″ in R3 is likelier to refer to the engine displacement rather than the number of cylinders.
