Well i suppose im to start, i have a 94 YZF-750R, The main parts are of course a rear Ohlins shock, steering damper, new footstays, exhaust, backend conversion, and custom dream machine paint work, and a lot of polishing.

Nice bike stew, dont seem to be too many out there in good condition. I think its just that they are such an underestimated bike :shock:

Recently the UK press has been giving these bikes some decent write ups as second hand bargains. The original problem was that the bike was released as a high spec 750, which would have been fantastic...... had the Fireblade not been released at approximately the same time at a lower price. Yamaha were just unlucky with their timing I guess.

Still, I love mine and it does everything I need of it, kneedown, acceleration (11.6 second quarter mile at Straightliners, Elvington) and speed (151.1mph again Straightliners@ Elvington).

Yeah mcn gave it a good review

Did you realise that they still make them! I think i read about it in bike magazine, cant remember what country it was in though :?

AFAIK, they dont still make em, but you can still buy them brand new somewhere in th UK. Think they are around the £6000 mark. Most people would go for a modern 600 for that kind of money though. :roll:

Modern 600's do pack a good "Bang for the Buck", don't they :?: :wink:

I used to have a spotless YZF750R exactly the same as yours Beezkneez. It was a year younger and I used to love that bike. There wasn't a mark on it. After I sold it I saw it about a month later. The new owner had got it re-sprayed red/white and he'd dropped it and it looked awful. I was a bit gutted to be honest, he'd ruined it. :cry:
