Outstanding performance, but a rock hard seat the width of a razor blade.
I had one that snapped the crank!

I had my first one in the mid 90s, I didn't mind the seat back then (my wife wasn't too impressed with it) but the previous bike was an early GSXR750 which was not exactly comfortable.

That's in good fettle!
When I was just about to leave school in '89 one of the teachers had an early silver and red half-faired one with an EXUP swinger, forks and wheels and a posh 4-2-1 pipe. It was lovely!

Mechanically it's sound but cosmetically it's rather challenged, all of the plastics are cracked, and it's purple not black, Yamaha call it VMax blue.
Someone is coming to look at my little Hodna today, so that might be gone.

I've got a mint jmc swinger for an fzr1000 that could fit that.

If it's an early FZR1000 (pre EXUP) I think it'll bolt straight in but I would need an FZR wheel to go with it, I might be tempted once I've sorted out the bodywork

yep its pre exup deep braced, I may have the rear wheel somewhere. I've got the rear caliper and its bracket definitely.

Please stop tempting me
Hodna has gone to it's new owner, he seems very happy with it.

I've found out something I didn''t know, FZ750s have the same oil filters as big Zs, which is handy.
