Yamaha Motorcycles was formed in 1955 and the first bike produced was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues to this day. The FZ range was launched with the FZ750 in 1985 in answer to Suzuki's trendsetting GSXr750. The FZR1000 Genesis first came to market in 1987 and its major feature was an all-new aluminium perimeter type frame, marketed as the 'Deltabox'. Although Yamaha had previously been using aluminium Deltabox frames on their race machines, this would be its first application on such a large production road-going bike.

This FZR1000 was bought by the vendor in 1998 having been imported from Japan by Fastline. In ownership, the vendor has fitted a Wiseco 1040cc big-bore kit with a Barnett Kevlar clutch and a Leo Vinci end-can. The original Yamaha can is supplied with the bike as well as some old MOTs and a current V5C. Stood for a while due to lack of time and space, this essentially original machine will make an ideal winter rebuild or resto-mod project.
