Yamaha Yzf750r
The Yamaha Yzf750r has a top speed of 265 km/h, produces 125 hp and weighs 195 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
Die Yamaha YZF750R wurde 1993 als Homologationsspecial eingeführt, das aus dem Superbike-Rennprogramm von Yamaha abgeleitet wurde und die FZR750R ersetzte. Es verfügte über eine Motortechnologie mit fünf Ventilen pro Zylinder, die direkt von Yamahas Rennrädern übernommen wurde, was es zu einem hart umkämpften Serien-Superbike seiner Zeit machte. Die Produktion lief bis 1998 und diente als technologische Brücke zur Entwicklung der legendären Yamaha R1, die 1998 auf den Markt kam.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Genesis Engine Reliability
The YZF750R uses Yamaha's proven 5-valve-per-cylinder Genesis engine, known for exceptional durability when properly maintained. With regular oil changes, these engines commonly exceed 50,000 miles without major issues.
Watch the Carburetors
The four Mikuni carburetors are a common trouble spot on used examples, often suffering from gumming and jetting issues from ethanol-blended fuel or long storage periods. Always inspect or budget for a full carb clean and rebuild before purchase.
Strong Collector Value
The YZF750R was only sold in the US from 1993–1998, making clean original examples increasingly scarce and desirable among collectors. Well-maintained bikes hold their value better than many comparable 90s sportbikes.

"Den Supersport hat fast jeder vergessen, hätte aber nicht sollen."
Ich habe etwa 14.000 Meilen auf einer 95er YZF750R zurückgelegt und der Motor ist die Geschichte — dieser 749-cm3-Motor mit fünf Ventilen pro Zylinder zieht ab 7.000 Umdrehungen pro Minute hart und schreit absolut über 10.000, mit einer mechanischen Intensität, die moderne Ride-by-Wire-Bikes zu Grunde gelegt haben. Das Aluminium-Chassis mit zwei Holmen ist wie geschaffen für schnelle Kehrmaschinen und hat die DNA direkt von Yamahas Werks-Langstreckenrennfahrern übernommen, und das merkt man — dieses Ding ändert die Richtung mit einer Präzision, die Konkurrenten mit größerem Hubraum der damaligen Zeit in Verlegenheit brachte. Die Schwächen sind jedoch real: Die Ergonomie der Verkleidung ist bei allem, was länger als ein Canyon-Lauf ist, gnadenlos, das 209 kg Nassgewicht macht sich sofort im Stau bemerkbar, und die Beschaffung von OEM-Teilen erfordert heute Geduld und ein gutes Verhältnis zu einem Fachhändler. Es steht auch in einem unangenehmen historischen Schatten — es wurde im selben Jahr wie die RC45 und der 916 auf den Markt gebracht und war brillant, aber nie glamourös. Genau aus diesem Grund blieben die Gebrauchtpreise vernünftig und Fahrer, die tatsächlich einen fuhren, behielten sie in der Regel.

"A forgotten gem that rewards patient, mechanically savvy buyers handsomely."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe YZF750R is one of those bikes that got overshadowed by Yamaha's own R1 before anyone really appreciated what it was. Mid-90s buyers moved on too quickly, and that's your gain now. This thing handles with a precision that still embarrasses modern middleweights — the chassis is telepathic, the inline-four pulls hard from 6,000rpm upward, and that distinctive exhaust note never gets old. It's a proper sportbike that rewards smooth riders. Buying used, you need to be ruthless about service history. These motors are tough but the cam chain tensioners can cause grief if the previous owner skipped oil changes. Check the throttle bodies for wear and inspect the frame around the headstock carefully — these were track day favourites and crash damage gets hidden under fresh paint. Suspension components are showing their age on most examples now, so budget for a rebuild immediately. Parts availability is the elephant in the room. Yamaha support is essentially gone, so you're relying on specialists and NOS suppliers. If you're mechanically confident and patient, this is a rewarding classic. If you need a dealer on speed dial, walk away.
