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, followed by the FZR1000 Genesis in 1987 with its major feature, an all-new aluminium perimeter-type frame marketed as the 'Deltabox'. Although Yamaha had previously used aluminium Deltabox frames on their race machines, this would be its first application on a mass produced road bike. In 1989 the bike was once again improved with a more sculpted frame and the addition of the 'EXUP' exhaust valve.

This first generation 1989 Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP was treated to a good overhaul last summer, including a new pair of Bridgestone tyres and a set of HEL braided brake lines. Various parts were powder-coated during the recommissioning, including the wheels, rear subframe, air ducts and the engine side cases with a new screen fitted at the same time. It is presented in mostly original condition, with a Yoshimura Performance exhaust, and comes fitted with a single-seat converter. The bike has just passed an MOT and will be supplied with a current V5C.
