    Not an FJ but still a Yamaha...it was a closed course race bike, although it was street legal.

    Nope, almost identical to it in regards to the tank, fairings and wheels. It is an 85 though, which was the first year for the FZ, at least in America. The best race bike that Yamaha made at the time.

    Yup, RZ500...the motor is getting all new seals, bearings, pistons and rings, reeds and gaskets. The bike is complete and has Jolly Motos with it! Here is the motor pre assembly out of the box. It is so dense, amazing piece of work from Yamaha. Case reed on the rear and cylinder reed on the front.
