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. In-person pick-up is preferred.  Any shipping will be the sole responsible of the buyer including timing, logistics, payment, and insurance.  This sale is for U.S. residents only and the vehicle will not be shipped over-seas.
