Hi Just dropping you all a line. Just got myself a Fair original condition FZ750 1FN off ebay. Non runner as of yet, know nothing about it so a interesting journey about to begin. 3/4 of the way through a ground up restore on a VF500 so its kinda going to take a back seat for now but will try and get it running just to so i can sleep. (attached a pic as it is now) Keep u all posted. Dave Derby's UK Attachments:

Welcome, Dave! That's a great looking FZ750, and fairly close to original condition too.
I've always loved the "Babyceptors". When I was in the Navy I debated whether I should get a used VF500, a Yamaha Vision, or step up the money to get an FZ700 or a Ninja 900. It was right after Top Gun came out, so lots of us young trainees in Naval Aviation were dreaming of looking like Tom Cruise, bombing around on motorcycles in our flight jackets. Ah, youth....

Just a lucky text alert from ebay at lunch time that day and went on and snatched it, didn't even read the description Will see if im lucky, got to get a set of keys cut, new battery and see what happens. I can already see the water pipe behind the downpipes has a huge crusty hole in. is there a temp fix or are parts still available for the early series and if so from whom ? Going to be lots of questions about this one. i Know my 80's Honda's fairly well but apart from my youth on LC 350's pity limited on Yamaha's Be in touch very soon ;D ;D
