The 1988 Paris Motor Show saw the Yamaha Motor Company exhibit their "street-legal racer" designated FZR750R (OW01).
It was based on the Yamaha YZF750 that dominated the 1987 and 1988 Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance Race, and was fitted with a virtually race-spec 749cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 4-cylinder 5-valve engine.
Just like their works team machines, this street bike also featured racing components to provide a thrilling riding experience for even the most demanding of riders. |
