Motorcycle specifications YamahaYZF 750 R 1994 The look of a sword

yZF - this is the identification code for the new terror of the 750 sport bikes. For its return to the 3/4-liter class, Yamaha offers no less than a highly accomplished and efficient machine, the daughter of blood and experience of the famous OW01. It's more than enough to make you look good and feel good. In fact, it's the YZF's most distinctive feature - that double-lensed look, with the eyebrows stretching upwards and outwards.
Is this YZF playful? But not only that. Beautiful, sleek and unadorned, its aesthetics are neither overwhelming nor carefree, but very well-balanced. Lovers of fine parts will be delighted to detail it. Attractive Deltabox frame in highlighted aluminum (the fairing sides don't hide it), inverted fork, 6-piston front calipers, reinforced swingarm. It's beautiful, it's serious, and it leaves no doubt as to the Yam's objectives. Surprisingly, however, the fork is only adjustable for spring preload. Apart from that, both the workmanship and finish are very good. The new Yam appeals and knows how to appeal. It's just waiting for you to unveil its talents.

discover the cockpit, get to grips with it and be surprised: the driving position isn't as exclusive as all that. Moderate forearm pressure, well-positioned and adjustable controls, switchable reserve, higher half-handlebars than today's sports car standards, first-rate finish: the Yam knows how to welcome its rider. On the racetrack, the high position of the aforementioned handlebars is somewhat restrictive, as it doesn't allow perfect body movement. But that's nothing to worry about when you get a taste of the YZF's mechanics.
What immediately impresses is the impressive smoothness delivered by this block. Set at near idle speed in last gear, the engine revs up without a jolt. Very smooth indeed. And the best thing of all is the gearbox that accompanies this mill. In general, you build up a lot of muscle with a Yam gearbox. Not with the YZF 750's. This transmission is a real treat, precise, fast and extremely smooth. It should be the same on all models bearing the triple tuning fork.
While the 4-cylinder engine shines for its smoothness, it's also very full for a 750. Unlike the ZXR and GSX-R, it's got watts from 4,000 rpm (cool EXUP). On the whole, this engine is very available and pleasant to ride, though a little too linear in its revs. At 8,500 rpm, the thruster accelerates its ascent, finally losing its breath at around 11,000 rpm (damn throttle...). You can still push it up to 13,000 rpm, but only for extension - at full power, it's a different story.
The YZF seems to have come into its own, with a high-performance boiler that doesn't hesitate to tease a certain Honda 900. But it hasn't yet played all its cards. The Yam's other strength is its lightness (more than 10 kgs lighter than the competition), its homogeneity and, above all, its efficiency. I can already see them drooling with their eyes shining. But don't worry: while the machine is easy to get to grips with, you need to know how to handle the handlebars with experience to exploit its potential. The YZF 750 is first and foremost a formidable precision tool. Both the chassis and braking are top-notch. The genes of the OW 01 are clearly present in this machine, which brakes hard, very hard, with just the right amount of feel and resistance to overheating. The chassis is certainly one of the best on the market, and does an impressive job on the track. It's also remarkable on the open road, where the only disapproval it conveys is its sensitivity to steering on degraded asphalt. Admittedly very agile, the bike is akin to a professional machine: you can do excellent work with it, provided you're at its level and know how to handle it. The Yam goes fast, and has no time to lose with sandbox players.
In terms of suspension, too, the YZF is well equipped. Its cushioning combines comfort with efficiency, as I understand it for a sports bike. In fact, its very limited protection and not-so-soft saddle don't betray this philosophy.

yamaha has taken its time in responding to Kawa and Suz in the 750 range, and so much the better, for the product presented is highly accomplished and superbly efficient. The engine and gearbox are a real success, the chassis allows riders to master the track, and its performance is remarkable. Now, either you're a pro on the handlebars and you like that helmet that pushes your vertebrae, or you're going to have to be less demanding of yourself.

there is such a thing as a racing YZF, and it's called SP (Sport Production). Modifications include tighter gear ratios, 39 mm Keihin carburetors, a fully adjustable fork, ignition mapping that takes into account throttle opening and engine speed, and a weight reduction to 192 kg.
