Always had a lot of respect for Yamaha for building this bike. Seemed like at the time Suzuki and Kawasaki dominated the 750 scene with their GSXR and ZX7. Honda had the best 600 with its Hurricane, and probably sold a lot of those so that was a financial success. Yamaha though, they were set on the 1000 superbike title. The Hurricane 1000 was too civil and a sport tourer. Kawasaki seemed to be also be competing for the fastest bike title with its ZX11 which was too heavy to be a superbike so it was a sport tourer also. Yamaha made the king of the road with the FZR 1000. This was the bike of choice for those that raced mountainous roads. I actually have a mint CBR 900RR that is hailed as the king. Well, that sort of depends on the road. Maybe it can outdo a FZR 1000 on a tighter road, but the 1000 would take it on a not so tight road with longer straights. To me, this defined what an elite superbike should look like. How Yamaha ditched the dual headlights in later years is beyond me, but then it put the dual headlights back on the later FZR 1000s. The CBR 900RR was successful because they were aiming for this bike's awesomeness.
SAXONWARLORD1000AD From 1987 to 1988 it was Genesis but than, after the new engine with the Exup valve and new body it became the Exup. In this video there is the first edition of this bike :)

Big fan of the 90 style of the bikes
Bring me back good memories of my 1990 FZR 1000

Beautiful machine in the best colours
Yep, Yamahas race colours before they adapted that corporate blue they use now.
And the best looking headlights and fairings too. 89 was their best year, in my opinion.
Beautiful! Gorgeous beast!!!
Beautiful Bike. My holy grail machine.
in the US market, the headlights are flush with the nose fairing. beautiful bike! these are going up in value
I love the color and the sound. I have may fzr1000 too its fully customize ironman look
Very nice bike man!!!
Quelle beauté
Sei unica
J ai le même model et la même couleur une machine de guerre !
I have this same bike. Only 13k miles on it. I feel like I’m beating a baby sea when I drive it so I hardly ever do.
What a fucking beauty
Che bestia
But a lot of them do as well as the new one I had in 1990
It is the same carb in the 1988 to 1990.
no different carbs 87-88 < 89-90
I thought the GENESIS was the year before the EXUP

wrong,there is no fzr 1000 called EXUP..exup is a valve..nothing more..all fzr 1000 are genesis because of the engine concept with 20 valves.
@@ciogon i dont know if all fzr are exup or genesis ,but some times at the rear was written,,exup with 5 valve genesis
20 valve genesis - exup is just a exhaust valve to improve mid range
I have the genesis with the EXUP exhaust valve in it. Only 13k miles. Should I even drive the thing? I don’t. Want to. It’s mint.
Carb webbing
Exup dans le titre mais Genesis sur la moto... 🤔
Sounds like a tractor
Yes, that's the typical sound :)
looks ugly af
