• The FZR1000 was widely regarded as the best mass‑produced sport motorcycle in the world at the time, and in its 1989 FZR1000R version the engine produced over 140 hp with class‑leading handling. The FZR1000R won "Bike of the Year" in the motorcycle press [1] and Cycle World crowned it the "bike of the decade". The machine was continuously updated throughout its life and continued to collect awards into the early 1990s.

  The FZR1000 was a natural development of Yamaha's Genesis design concept, which began with the FZ750. The most significant upgrade was a new aluminium perimeter frame marketed as the 'Deltabox'. The frame was technically in its early stages, and although aluminium Deltabox frames had been used in racing, this was their first use in a production road bike of this size. [3] A new wheel design with light hollow spokes was also fitted, wide enough for the latest radial tyres.

  The FZR1000 has a five‑speed sequential short‑ratio gearbox. The clutch is wet, multi‑plate and hydraulically operated. Final drive is by O‑ring chain and sprockets.
