Lot 634
1989 Yamaha FZR600 Project
1989 Yamaha FZR600 Project
Registration no. F373 JGK
Frame no. 3HE-004230
Engine no. 3HE-004230
By the end of the 1980s, the Supersport 600 class had become established as one of the most important market sectors. Yamaha's first effort, the FZ600, had always lagged behind the opposition in terms of both specification and performance, but that all changed in 1989 when the Iwata factory released the FZR600. The latter embodied the design ethos of Yamaha's larger sports bikes, featuring an engine canted forwards and a Deltabox beam frame that looked aluminium but was in fact painted steel (as was the swinging arm). Penny-pinching details aside, the FZR offered superb handling and more mid-range grunt than its rivals (thanks to a long[ish] stroke) plus a top speed of 140mph.
Supplied new by Frontiers Motor Cycles of Wimbledon Chase, and currently displaying a total of 55,441 miles on the odometer, this example comes with an old-style V5 document recording its first registration on 18th May 1989 and the first owner as Mr Glynn Reeves of New Malden. The owner's manual and original service book are on file, the latter stamped on three occasions, the last in June 1990 at 7,862 miles. The HPI records no previous keepers since registration, suggesting the late owner never re-registered the Honda in his name. Also on file are two old MoTs: issued 1997 at 26,265 miles and 1998 at 31,919 miles. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with detached bodywork panels, a screen, seats and a silencer. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves regarding this motorcycle's condition, completeness, and authenticity prior to bidding.
