FZR 1000
Lingerie et moto de sport : un mélange étonnant
Being named "bike of the decade" by pundits just as it hit the showroom floors, the 1989 Yamaha FZR1000 came with heavenly promises, and carried the weight of some pretty high expectations. We had spent a lot of time in the saddle of the 1987 model, and thought we knew what the new bike would be capable of. So we thought.
For 1989, Yamaha redesigned their biggest sportbike from the tires up, and it felt, well, different. The new bike felt smaller, lighter and lower, though radical improvements only became apparent out on the road: A softer, wider seat -- coupled with repositioned ergonomics -- made it more comfortable, while a quick blast through the local twisties showcased the new bike's technical advancements.
About the only thing on this bike that carried over from the previous year's model is the name. The Genesis motor was rotated back five degrees from the previous unit's 45 degree tilt -- and this, combined with a more compact cylinder head resulted in a wheelbase that was almost an inch shorter. More radical cams with higher lift and longer duration, a higher (12.0:1) compression ratio, and one millimeter bigger (up to 38mm) flat-slide Mikuni carburetors boosted horsepower output to 138 ponies. The motor served double-duty as a stressed frame member, eliminating the need for last year's down tubes.
