1994 Yamaha FZR1000 review from United States of America
"SWEET, fast and fun to ride"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing major, just needed a valve adjustment and a few new pieces of bodywork.
General comments?
This is a very sweet ride. I'm 49 years old and have owned many bikes in my lifetime. The 1000 is one of the finest bikes I've owned.
Its brakes are outstanding for a heavy motorcycle. The brakes have excellent feel.
The power is good, and this motorcycle has plenty of top end speed.
I ride this machine all the time. I take long trips every year on this bike. It has never broken down on me, and I trust this bike with my life. It goes, it stops. This is a far better long distance bike than my R-1.
