    I know a lot of y’all won’t care but I lusted after one of these in High School.

    could only afford the generic FZR.

    Tim Estensen had a jacket in his collection that he donated. IMG_2191.jpeg

    It's the realization that in his teenage dreams, he was lighter than the bike.

    Fack!!!!

    I liked those too, even ran against them at 1 national round at Willow. Well I was on the same track as them, can’t say I was in the same zip code, they were 5 seconds a lap quicker. But it was also my first year racing.

    Stevens and I can’t remember the second rider on V&H. I think Jeff Farmer won, or almost won that day, and he impressed me the most. A privateer, in a van, with one mechanic battling with Vance and Hines. Way back then the mechanic told me the dad was spending over $100k for Farmer to race that year, all in.

    Earlier this year, found a 1994 Yzf-750sp homologation model in Canada, going to do a frame-up restoration and Jamie James is going to paint it in his V&H Superbike colors, and put his number and signature on the tail. Can’t wait!

    Nice. I didn't care for that scheme back in the day. I bought the white '92 version.

    White wheels FTW!!!

    That single headlight I think was 91-92. Hated it. Yamaha knew they Fd-up going from the dual headlights on the FZR600 from 89-90. 91-92 had single headlights then 93 they went back to dual for the final year of FZR.

    'years', not 'year'. The FZR600 was around almost as long as the Chevy small block.

    I bought one after Dean Hayes and AL Hall ripped around Daytona with the 4&6 crew with killer top speed. Stepped up from the 88' Hurricane I started with. I had the black with the hot pink and blue. Dam thing fouled a shit load of plugs though. I had that same D&D pipe and it was loud as hell

    Have a beautiful FZR in our collection as well. It's in the hands of my nephew right now on the Campus of Ohio state. He's loving it.
