The ultimate development of Yamaha's TZ750 production racer, the 'F' version appeared in 1979. Featuring the same shortened wheelbase and 'monoshock' swing-arm frame as its 'D' and 'E' predecessors, the new model was similarly marketed as a replica of the awesome YZR750 (OW31) Works GP machines. Benefiting from the adoption of six petal reed valves, its 747cc four-cylinder water-cooled two-stroke engine was credited with 120bhp @ 11,000rpm. Reputedly capable of nigh-on 190mph (depending upon the ratios fitted to its six-speed gearbox), the 'F' tipped the scales at just 152kg. As dominant in Europe and Australia as it was in America, the TZ750 was also ridden to great effect in the British Championship and Transatlantic Series by the likes of John Newbold, Dave Potter and Roger Marshall.
Thought to be one of just eighty TZ750Fs made available worldwide, this particular example is finished in white with red striping. Said to have been restored to original specification, it wears aluminium silencers and rides on original spoked wheels.
