OWO1 for sale

No Worries · 08-14-2009, 03:33 PM

OWO1? That was Yamaha's 750 factory race bike in the late 80's. Only imported 500 into the US. All original. There's one for sale in Denver for only $5200: http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/1322893046.html. Plus, it only has 7K miles. Yeah, I know modern bikes are faster, but who cares. You would feel like a million bucks riding this bike around.

That is cool, I love those rare bikes that nobody would ever know about.

Quote:

This is the famous 1988 Yamaha FZR750RU also known as an OWO1 factory racer. There were less than 500 of these imported to the US. Of these, 213 were set up as race bikes for factory racers and this is one of the few survivers left. It has 126 H.P. and spins 13,000 rpm. It has the aluminum box tube Genisis frame and 5 valves per cyl. This bike is extreme. Very fast and runs excellent. It has a fresh clutch, fork seals, head set bearings, etc. It's been in the family for 9 yrs. and well cared for. When I have sex with my wife I think of this bike. All original and a rare find. Great condition and every thing works. Only 7068 miles. A great addition to any collection or use in AHRMA vintage racing. I hate to sell but I need the money. Serious inquiries only please.
