1986 Yamaha FZ 700 Fazer

1986 Yamaha Fazer, Z700cc 5 valve Genesis 4 cylinder engine, speed transmission, ater-cooled. engine based on the FZ/FZR750 engine but with a shorter crank to pass 1985 tariff laws. It weighs 40-50 lbs less than the popular FZ sport bike did the same year. Yamaha called it an "American Standard Sport" bike. (Cycle World magazine BIKE OF THE YEAR in 1986-87) Looks similar to the V-max, nd was only sold in the US in 1986 and 1987, o it is a fairly rare classic bike, specially in such great condition.
The stock version handles great, nd is very quick...0-60 in 2.2 seconds right out of the box... But I wasn't satisfied with it's incredible stock power and handling, nd wanted to keep up with today's modern bikes, o I jetted the carbs, ad a larger sprocket installed, dded Lazier exhaust pipes and had it dynode...all increasing the HP to around 130 at the rear tire, nd making it substantially quicker. Then I dropped the bars cafe style and put much stickier Metzlers on it, o now I can Handel with the new bikes too. I still have the stock parts if anyone wants to easily put it back to original. Replacement parts still available through several online parts suppliers such as Bike Bandit and Ron Ayers, hould the buyer ever need them in the future.. Approximately 11k original miles Gets around 50mph hwy cruising, .4 gallon gas tank(including .8 gallons reserve), ets 119-135 miles on the 2.6 gallons usually before the low fuel light comes on, elling the rider it's time to switch to reserve using the handlebar mounted fuel switch.
I don't ride it much as all my riding friends have either moved or sold their bikes, o it just sits in my garage. It has a brand new battery and is ridden about a mile every two weeks to keep if fresh.
This bike is a serious conversation piece at all the "Bike Events" that I've ever attended. It even got more attention than my custom chopper when My friends would ride it to the bars with me.
For the money you can't get a bike that is as fast as the new bikes, ut with such a classic appeal!!!
(Update. I did put the stock handle bars back on for test drives and for a more comfortable long ride, ut the drop bars will sell with the bike and are easy to put back).
