Yamaha YZF750R your thoughts?

Well?

Lovely....

I like em! proppa classic supersports back with the first blades.

Had one, loved it (mauve one). Feels like it has proper build quality and an air of up market parts. A lot of bike for your money.

Lovely classic superbike - did you read the exploits of Bike magazine racing one?

Good bike, in their day.

Nice bike in there time

Without the rose coloured glasses of yester year, long in the tooth, heavy, hard to find a good one these days, enough performace, if not outstanding, used to go threw front discs I seem to recall, also the genesis engines burnt a bit of oil, check the EXUP valve as a lot of them get stuck.

although fully adjustable, I think they upgraded the suspension on later models to better quality, but you'd have to check.

find a good one at the right price and as said a lot of bike, get the wrong one and it's a money pit.

Cheers Mark.

Later SP versions had Yamaha built Ohlins suspension in the rear. Not quite as classy as a proper Ohlins unit but much better than the cooking version.

I seem to recall they also had sixpot brakes which required "looking after" shall we say, Oh and mild steel exhausts, which reminds me changing the original headers caused all sorts of problems with the basic running of the bike.

amazing what you remember when you think about it.

Cheers Mark.

I think they were the usual Tokico 6 pots as used on lots of other bikes - universally despised by anyone who regularly works on bikes. They didn't even give you any advantage over Tokico 4 pots and most people I know with ZX-9Rs and suchlike swopped them for 4 pots.
