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.
La Yamaha YZF750R a été introduite en 1993 en tant que homologation spéciale dérivée du programme de course Superbike de Yamaha, en remplacement de la FZR750R. Elle était dotée d'une technologie de moteur à cinq soupapes par cylindre empruntée directement aux motos de course de Yamaha, ce qui en faisait une Superbike de série très compétitive de son époque. La production a duré jusqu'en 1998 et a servi de passerelle technologique menant au développement de l'emblématique Yamaha R1, lancée en 1998.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.

"Presque tout le monde a oublié la Supersport, mais cela n'aurait pas dû."
J'ai parcouru environ 14 000 miles sur une YZF750R de 1995 et le moteur raconte l'histoire : ce moteur de 749 cm3 à cinq soupapes par cylindre tourne fort à 7 000 tr/min et dépasse les 10 000 tr/min avec une intensité mécanique que les vélos à câble modernes ont aseptisée. Le châssis en aluminium à double longeron est véritablement construit grâce à des balayeuses rapides, héritant directement de l'ADN des voitures de course d'endurance d'usine de Yamaha, et cela se voit : ce véhicule change de direction avec une précision qui embarrassait les concurrents à plus grande cylindrée de l'époque. Les points faibles sont toutefois bien réels : l'ergonomie du carénage est impitoyable, même sur une course de canyon, le poids à vide de 209 kg se fait sentir immédiatement en cas de faible trafic, et l'approvisionnement en pièces OEM demande aujourd'hui de la patience et une relation décente avec un revendeur spécialisé. Elle se situe également dans une ombre historique embarrassante : lancée la même année que les RC45 et 916, elle était géniale mais jamais glamour. C'est exactement pourquoi les prix des véhicules d'occasion sont restés raisonnables et les conducteurs qui en ont conduit une ont eu tendance à les conserver.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
