Admin Alex Posted October 15, 2003 Admin Share Posted October 15, 2003 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. I know its a bit old school now, as it is bloody heavy compared to the new bikes! What have you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted October 23, 2003 Author Admin Share Posted October 23, 2003 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 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).

Admin Alex Posted October 24, 2003 Author Admin Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yeah mcn gave it a good review http://www.motorcyclenews.com/bikes/detail...ocumentID=65554 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 :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Beezkneez Posted October 30, 2003 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2003 Used to have a YZF750 myself....one of the best bikes i've had Not the best piccy...but it`s the only one that i have :oops: Bazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleyhants Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
