Ya me too in high school. You hardly ever see these bikes with the belly pan fairing. Even my 2005 VFR doesn't have distance cancelling turn signals, great bike!
I have not seen such a good and educational video related to the motocyclism for a looong, looooong time!!! Your work was impressive, the efforts you put in to film it all into one such creative video was stunning! Hat down! 10/10!
I’ve always wanted one of these ever since Eddie Lawson won Daytona on one. Pretty much a forgotten winner here in the US. Nice job bringing her back to life. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Sadly you can’t find bikes like this anymore here. If it’s not the latest,greatest thing they loose interest and value and end up in the scrap heap. Or they get bought up on large numbers and sent in a container to Japan or Europe.
This engine & design brief was the 1985 precursor to my 2020 Yamaha XSR900. I recall when these were released and Suzuki totally smoked Yamaha with the GSXR750 slab road race replica. Yamaha spent so much time on the 45 degree forward banked engine with near vertical downdraft Mikuni's they lost sight of the marketing side of things. This model was certainly quick but simply far too heavy and had lousy brakes from this era. In 2023 I now ride the bike this could have been albeit with 100lbs less weight, far more horsepower & torque, great handling and real braking power. We have come a long way in sports bikes there is no doubt. Great video but the music drove me crazy......... Cheers from Australia.
Thanks for you comment. You are right about Suzuki smoking them. At first I was afraid for the brakes too but they are fine. At least when riding on public road at reasonable pace. Would not want them on race circuit. Would love to ride a XSR900 or MT-09 one day.
My friend I ve a Yamaha fzx750 with an oil leak at the point of the drive gear..my question is can I start the disassembly from the bottom of the motor so I can fix it or I ve to do it from up. thanks in advance
I just picked up a blue red and white 85. The only available graphic kit is the red and white like this one, which I think looks way better. Question is, is the red a slight metallic or pearl or just a bright red?
The red is a two stage metallic or pearl. To be honest I don't know the difference between the two. It is not a bright red. I got a decal kit from The Image Works in the UK but as you can see mine is a hybrid. It is a 87 with the 85 front fairing so I could not use the decals on the rear.
Absolute perfection, thank you so much for sharing. What an incredible build, it looks like it's 1986 again and it just rolled out of the factory.
Thank you!
I had the first gen, insanely good engine, you could easily run the speedo needle off the clock. Great to see you bring one back to life.
Yeah, they run smooth :) Thanks for the comment!
Excellent videos, all super detailed but they left us wanting to listen to them on
Fantastic bike. Had one in 1986, red /white and blue. Eddie Lawson colors.

Stunning workmanship, your stuff is an inspiration!
Beautiful my 86 FZ was stolen. Brings back memories Thanks
Amazing job! Love this bike since Eddie raced it at Daytona
Lovely bike! I had one back in the 80's, it had a great engine and handled pretty well too!

@@jh-tech5546 Ok thanks. Im a body paint guy. It must be the same color as the fender on mine then.
@@theoriginalmungaman The color is called Stormy Red and the white is Sliky White

Can I contact you for a restoration on a 90% FZR I want 100% showroom?
I just got an 86 Fz750 and want to restore it. Could some tips and connections for parts.
I generally buy original parts from CMS if available and within budget. Some aftermarket at YAMBITS, LOUIS or NR1 Motor
Can we get timelapse "full DISassembly"?))
Just watch this video in reverse.... 😛
@@kz6fittycent smart)
I did film most of the disassembly but I lost most of the footage... Otherwise there would be a disassembly too :)
@@jh-tech5546 we will wait) thank you)
I’d like to see a before and after photo
Are you open for FZ restorations?
Hello, sorry for the late answer. This is only hobby for me so I cannot help you with this. I hope you can find someone or maybe start on it yourself.
Столько времени и сил и средств, а колеса разные!!!! У тебя нет вкуса, надо было еще заморочиться на одинаковые, так и смотрится и едет лучше!!!!!
Sorry, I don't understand what you try to mean about the wheels. Please explain?
My dream bike when I was 18.
Why don't you move out to TX and come help me w/ my bike? It'd get done a lot faster!!🥸
:)
