Авто/Мото
Man I really want the retro style round pair headlights to do a comeback
Yeah some things shouldn't be changed! =)
Thanks for watching Charlie
I bought a 1989 model in 2014. It only had 4,002 miles on it. Was last registered in 1991 and still had the stock tires on it. I have put 24,000 miles on it and it is ready for a refresh. Going to do upgrades that make it better. Better forks and brakes. New clutch. Carbs rebuilt and full tuneup. This was my dream bike in 1989 as a 20 year old. Now at 56 I still turn and look at her as I walk away.
I know the feeling, once you find "the one" it's hard to let go of it and it will always look and feel good =)

i saw one on the web in Red and White with "Marlbaro Red" writen on it. It looks so awesome and retro.
😮👍@@ThorgalsWalhalla
I was born in 91', and im fanboy to yamaha looking to grab this for my first bike
I have a blue black and white 90 model. Same as 89.
I also had to replace some rubber parts on the carburators. And foot rubber pegs several times. Same with brake calipers and tyres every so often.
Adding half a liter of oil every once in a while is a must.
Apart from that, and the golden silencer with the exact Yamaha model, I had not a single other issue in all these years.
I use 120/60 front instead of the stock 130/60.
Heavy, but super powerful and... highest quality!
Owned this beast of a bike in '89. I used to ride from Singapore - Malaysia -Thailand (Border Town) in 5 ½ hours. The dist is about 900km. ($50 ringgit bribe for excessive speeding). My best top speed was 245km. Didn't have the balls to push it further. Now @ 76 years young, I ride a bicycle and when I hit 20 kmh going downhill ... I get a hard-on
haha, yeah you're still a speed-junkie alright.

For me the most beautiful 90's bike.

I bought my bike new in 1989 in the grey colors and still riding with this 'oldtimer'. Wonderfull bike

I had one of these beasts back in 90s when I lived in Turkey. It was called ‘YZF’ though. Thank you for the video. It took me back to my teenage years
Thanks for watching, i'm happy that you enjoyed my video. selam!
I had seven of these (after another) in the '90s. Due to the fact I was riding all year and had no car, the bikes came fast to 70.000 km. When I reached them, I sold the bike and bought another used one with max. 10-15.000 km.
The first was the '92 model with the upside-down-fork, which I lost in a deer accident with 140 km/h on the german Autobahn. The bike was completely destroyed, but thank to my guardian angel nearly nothing happened to me.
After this I always bought the 1990-Model (3LE) with the two round headlights. I had 3 in red-white-blue, a complete blue one, a silver one and, as the last, a black one, which was sold on eBay to a MD from Romania... Then I stopped because of the 2nd child.
At it's time the FZR 1000 was THE bike and I loved it. The bike shown in the vid is an early model, produced at the end of the '80s (2LA?)
Then, in last october, after 20 years of painfully missing a bike, I started riding again. For my comeback I bought a 32-year old Kawasaki GPZ 500 S which I rode during the winter, since last week I own a blue '98 Kawasaki ZX-9R Ninja. Best bike I had so far.
Wow nice. Such a great collection of bikes! Sad to hear about the crash with the deer. It's one of my biggest fears when riding. My friend crashed his honda with a deer and called right after the crash (to come call tow-truck whilst being loaded into an ambulance, bike could be fixed though, to my surprised!)

Ride safe buddy!
I bought a 1987 brand new, it was my first street bike, and I will never forget the feeling of cracking the throttle open at 6000 rpm. That mid to top end rush was breathtaking.

I have one from 89 model since 2013 and i love this bike.
I was 15 and i saw this bike in Yamaha Shop and i cant put my eyes away from this bike.
Sounds great and I'm happy to hear that you enjoy your bike. Don't make the mistake of selling it. I get many comments on other videos of people who sold off their old bikes and regrets it later on...
When you find something you like, keep it =)
Thanks for watching and for making a comment
I bought a 1990 FZR1000 last year to polish and stare at. I rode it weekly as so addictive and then rode from U.K. to Belgium and covered 3k miles in less than 5 months. An amazing, blinding bike. One of only 17 registered in the U.K. and the only one not SORN in 2023! 😅
Mine was one of the SORN ones, she’s back on the road now ;)
Sounds very nice and I’m happy to hear that you enjoy your bike.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your story
That idle chop is just naaaassty. Love it!

in 1986 the Yamaha FZR1000 5 valve genesis was the fast production bike made. I rode one and got it to 110mph in 3rd gear and slide off the seat and on the back fender. i always wanted to own one but never had the money. if memory serves me right they only made t hem for like 3 years
Yeah I think they made them from 1986-1995
I think it's good you never owned one, I wouldn't trust myself with that much power hehe.
Make sure you subscribe to my channel because I have a Kawasaki Z H2 coming up later which is an even meaner bike!!
Thanks for watching
87-88 models had only 130hp. 89 to 95 model years had 150hp.
135 then 145
1987 first year. 1989 redesign. I had an 88 and a 90 model. Both were bought new.
I'm currently restoring a 1987 FZR1000 Genesis in Canada right now. Found it in a sea-can so it's not technically a barn find but "can-find" doesn't have the same ring. Mine was sitting for 18 years but it was nearly all there and almost all of it was original. Spent a year so far on the hunt down for the hard to find parts but it's coming along. Before I started the restoration I was able to get the engine running and it sounds so beautiful. Yamahas always make the best sounding bikes.
Nice. Are you finished with your bike or do you have to work some more on it to get it ready?

an awesome bike right there buddy and that sound is amazing. A true performance bike...very cool.😊
Yeah the exhaust makes it scream super loud! Like I said in the video: the sound is half the fun!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments
Great sound. The bike runs Beautifully. 👌👌👍

I'm to old for this bike. If I rode this bike now, I wouldn't be able to straighten up & walk for a week. (lol) Thanks for the video anyway. It made me go back in time. Have a great day!! Illinois, USA
hahaha! Yeah I wouldn't be able to do the same if I rode it for a minute more!
Thanks for watching yet another of my videos Larry. I appreciate your comments!
Jsem překvapen, že takový motocykl má a aktivně jezdí. 👍

Sure sounds great buddy!
Thanks for watching
❤❤❤. I love it 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching and for lending out your bike! =)
Really amazing ride.
Thanks for watching buddy
Nice, I had one of those, I think it was the next model with the single front light. Good fun!
Thanks for watching Steve
The single front light started in 1992.
That exhaust sounds beautifully angry ❤️. That is one gorgeous bike. It does appear that you rode within legal limits 😉.
Yes yes... I always do!!
Sure sounds good the bike! I love it.
Thanks for watching mr viper
Hell of a bad ass bike. I like the muffler angle.

HI BRO THATS MY FAVRIOUT BIKE YAMAHA FZR 1000 GOD BLESS U ALWAYS BRO
God bless and thanks for watching bro!
Really cool bike. Not a super huge fan of super sport bikes, but the old ones are pretty rad. 🙂
Thanks for watching and for making a comment. I appreciate it
Had a 1987 genesis. First thing I did for the riding position was add FJ1200 bars and remove most of the plastics. Brutal naked bike, and wheelie free.
Newly paved highway, no traffic, 150mph....sold it a week later for a Harley because I'm irresponsible
Is the choke on why is it idling so high. I owned one for 5 years and miss it, one of the most complete bikes ever
I don't know, maybe its set that high by the owner.... 🤷🏻♂
Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)
yeah I ear same things as you do .Weird sound on idling + idling way too high . Maybe the exup valve is not set properly and the air fuel ratio is bad .
Mine wouldn't idle ever until you rode it atleast 1000ft around the block. Always turned the choke off at the last neighborhood stop sign
Im still have a 89 with a meer 3GM engine i van dat runs much faster in love the real bikes without traction control and ABS pure bike
Nice!! Sure is a great bike!
Thanks for watching
ilk büyük motorum buydu
Videomu izlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim
I miss my FZR had lovely bike I found the riding position ok for me being only 5ft5" felt more like a sports tourer to me, the only weak part I found was for seals as they had a habit of going, gears are a bit notchy but Yams back then were so kinda got used to it although I felt it needed 6 gears rather than 5 as I were always trying to notch it up an extra gear. I'd definitely own another one as most bikes are just to damn tall for a short guy like me lol
Yeah I'm 5'7'' but sometimes even I struggle with the height of some bikes =P
Thanks for watching my video, sure is a great bike!

I own one from 1990. Same 89 model.
Stock Yamaha golden silencer. But I use 120/60 front tire and modified forks to adjust at zero, 10mm or 20mm shorter in order to improve agility.
The bike is very heavy. I consider it as a highway bike, not a sportbike.
Wife and I have traveled a lot. Long distances around Europe. Around 500 km a day in 4 hours of drive, stopping once or twice.
200 km can be made easy in an just one hour at the right roads and traffic conditions.
I find it positive to have a lot of my body weight on my arms for long distances, very much the same as a bicycle made for very many hours on the road.
I normally use 16 teeth front sprocket. Stock is 17 teeth, good only for long distance tours, and I have tested 15 which is very sporty.
Wheels are strong but too heavy.
Front brakes could be better.
I have to add half a liter of oil every once on a while. Every 1000 km on average.
More often, if riding all the way to 11,000 rpm.
Suspension is alright with the 43mm non inverted front shock absorbers. Rear suspension works better at maximum extended length.
Engine runs smooth from 2000 to 10000rpm in an incredible 5 to 1 ratio. You can drive comfortably without changing gears between 50 and 250 km/h. It feels... infinite.
Acceleration is amazing.
0 to 100 in less than 3 seconds and 150 to 250Km/h in an instant!
290 can be seen on speedometer, but it does not feel good above 250.
All in all, I consider it's a heavy but very powerful and wonderful motorcycle. Highest quality!
Thanks for your detailed comment about the bike. I'm sure others will appreciate to read it too. Sure is a great bike and I've gotten many comments now from people, all being very please with the bike. =)

@Darkvisor Thank you for the feedback.
It was a pleasure finding your channel.
Missing gears either bent shift fork or needs a clutch stack, is neutral hard to find ? Nice classic 😊
You might be correct. Neural wasnt hard to find though... =) Sure is a great and nice classic bike!
Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)
I rebuild ome from scratch, very nice bike for its age😉
Sure is a nice bike! Thanks for watching my video beefsvalo!
Nice bike, I don’t last long on sports bikes I get a sore back after an hour.
Oh yeah the same here... not something I would want to have =)
Thanks for watching
@@Darkvisor stay safe 👍
God I remember these bikes so well! Imho, the late 80’s was truly the golden era for inline 4 sport bikes. Sure bikes got more power in the 90’s, but for public roads, what’s the point?
You sir... are very right!
as long as we have decent acceleration, we're fine! =)

Have one rn since july of last year, sadly its creating a lot of problems since then. Its eating about 1 liter of oil on 1000km, runs like rocks lol and I had to replace alot of parts and even laquored it myself. But I love it lol. Gonna check the caburetors soon to eliminate the running issues, it doesnt want to go above 230 km/h and runs bad unter 3000 rpm.
Wow, seems you got really unlucky with yours. I hope you will be able to fix it soon then =)
Thanks for watching, please subscribe to support me and my channel =)
@@Darkvisor Yeah Im on my way. It certainly teached me alot and my experience has profited from it. Still it costs just as much as having bought a nice R1 or similar :D.
I remember it from the 90s. The 600 was a rocket, but this one was a blast. Great video bro. Drop by to check my community tab.
p.s. This is a pure SS bike. :)
Thanks for watching buddy!
kool bike and rider. how old is it?🤔
The bike is 35 years old =)
Thanks for watching my legendary subscriber! ✌
Thanks for the video👍
What bike would you recommend to a beginner? The price for the bike can’t exceed 20k
And it’s a A motorbike😊
Thanks for watching!
Hmm which class do you want? Sport / custom / naked / touring / adventure etc…
20k as in Swedish krona or euro / usd?
@@Darkvisor Thanx for answer👍
The class of the bike im looking at is naked/touring style. (I guess😁)
Some examples: Suzuki Bandit, Triumph Trident, Kawasaki z6/z9 and so on, that kind of style, old school looking. But with new upprades. Hope you understand😂👍
It's in Swedish krona😁
Hmm svårt att få tag i en A hoj för under 20 papp.... De finns ju en uppsjö av schyssta hojar på blocket och facebook marketplace för de priset men de flesta av dem är a2 . Ska du ha en A hoj så får du nog höja ribban lite mer. Kanske 30-60 papp.
jag skulle tipsa om att hitta nån 40 ish årig Yamaha / Kawasaki på blocket å köpa. De är runt 900cc / 1000cc och är relativt lättkörda, de väger lite mer än moderna hojar men de märks inte av så värst.
Exempel (årsmodell 80 talet):
Kawasaki z1000 / z900
Honda CB1000 / CB900
Honda cbr1100xx Super Blackbird
Suzuki GS1000
Suzuki GS850
Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog
Yamaha R1 (dom gamla som sagt)

Jag var så nära att köpa en 1000cc av yamaha (minns inte exakt märkning) i somras innan det blev den lilla gula :D Men den var såld :/ Lite glad att det inte blev en sådan dock. Min rygg hade dött :D
Jasså? Ja tur de! hehe
