1987 Yamaha FZR 1000 Genesis
Frame no. JYA2NKE01JSA001292
Engine no. 2NK-001292

Dating from an era when one-litre sports bikes could afford to be relatively roomy and comfortable, Yamaha's FZR1000 Genesis arrived in 1987 as the class leader, boasting the FZ750's pioneering five-valves-per-cylinder engine technology and a race-developed aluminum twin-spar 'Deltabox' frame. With a claimed maximum output of 125hp, the Genesis was good for a top speed of over 150mph and, equally importantly, had handling and brakes to match. It lasted for only two years before being replaced by the extensively redesigned 'EXUP' model and these days is relatively rare. An affordable, fast and comfortable modern classic, this Genesis has been club raced – note Vance & Hines muffler - currently displaying a total of 6309 miles on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in good condition. The bike has been recently serviced and should be ready to run.
