Hi to all Recently bought an 88 FZ750 off Ebay with (supposedly genuine) 23k on the clocks. The way the engine runs I almost believe it...Very sweet. There's a laser 4-1 on it and it doesn't seem to suffer from the 4k dead spot. I've put Avon Roadriders on which are good enough for me. The reason I bought this was because I bought a brand new one 20+ years ago and have very happy memories. At that time it was king of the road and I had a job as a despatch rider in Devon so I had fun with a very capital F. When I was 28 I almost totalled myself and it took me years to get better (you should race on the track - not on the road!). After a number of bikes I ended up riding a BMW K100 and found myself pretty fed up with biking. Since I bought the FZ I find myself taking the long way to work and grinning ear to ear when I get off. I'm an old fart now and find the power this old girl has is enough for me. I plan to keep her standard and maybe do a little restoration. Someone has removed the blisters (hand protectors) from the fairing so if anyone has some they want to sell then let me know. This will be the last bike I own as I have no intention of selling because it does everything I need + a little more. Can't believe they are not more sought after. Anyway, enough....Glad to be a member.

Welcome to the forum, fella. I think you'll find the fairing protectors are like rocking horse doodoo to get hold of, as they seem to suffer much crackage. If you do see them for sale, they're so expensive that you wouldn't want to buy them. Glad you're having loads of fun on your FZ. Get us some pics on ;D

Hello & welcome to the forum. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your FZ, it's more than some of us can say at the moment! I too would like to see some pictures of it when you get the chance. There is 1 blue fairing blister on ebay right now for nearly £60!

Thanks Graham I saw that one on Ebay..Too rich for me! I think its been on before and no one went for it - not surprising really at that price. I'll see if I can get some pictures together over the weekend but, she doesn't look at her best... Mike
