The private seller offers for sale this 1990 Yamaha FZ400R, powered by a 399 cc inline-four petrol engine. Yamaha introduced the FZ400R in the mid-1980s as a compact, high-revving sports machine in the spirit of its larger FZ750. It combined a four-cylinder engine with a lightweight aluminium frame, a full fairing and sharp handling, and it was aimed at riders who wanted real sports performance in a package that was manageable and affordable. Its race-inspired looks and its eager character have kept the FZ400R a favourite among enthusiasts of 1980s Japanese sports motorcycles.
The seller describes this example as a motorcycle that has been restored and prepared for historic motorcycle racing, with new Brembo components and new tyres and wheels. The bodywork is finished in the red, black and white colours of the classic Yamaha sports livery, with FZ and Pure Sports graphics, a race-style fairing carrying the number 820, a single-seat tail section and gold-finished wheels. A performance exhaust is fitted, and the front and rear race stands visible in the photos are used to hold the motorcycle in the workshop. The odometer shows 40000 km.
For collectors and historic racing enthusiasts alike, a purpose-prepared FZ400R is an appealing find. It offers the distinctive look and spirit of a 1980s Japanese sports motorcycle, prepared with an emphasis on track use, and it will suit a buyer who wants a ready-made basis for classic racing events or a striking piece for a collection of period sports motorcycles.
