FZR750 Gallery
Inheriting the
“OW” in-house designation for Yamaha’s
factory machines for its nickname, the FZR750R
was a production model with many features fed
back directly from the Yamaha YZF750 works machine
that competed in the TT-F1 4-stroke road racing
class. It was a full-fledged works replica with
a DOHC 5-valve, parallel 4-cylinder engine with
titanium connecting rods.

Overshadowed by the RC30. As four-stroke
racers go, it's incredibly successful.
TT, BSB and WSB wins, plus some world
endurance victories to boot. Only 500
were ever built and 140 of those made
it to Britain officially, although a few
made it in as grey or parallel imports.
In terms of rarity, the OW01 wins over
the RC30 because there aren't many around,
and good ones today are making £10,000.
They cost £12,000 new and you had
a to bung on another £2500 for the
race kit parts. The RC was cheaper but
the kit parts much more expensive the
Yamaha had more trick stuff as standard
including a fully-adjustable Ohlins shock
and magnesium-bodied brake calipers. More

ex Padgetts Rob McElnea World Superbike.
This OWO1 ran in the 1990 W.S.B. with
Rob Mac scoring a third in Hungary.The
bike was then sold on by Padgetts to Dennis
Irvin who won the Scottish championship
on it.
The bike still has the correct OWO1 engine
and not a FZR 1000,although it has had
work (ie race cams,carrillo rods and has
been fitted with an 840 kit).These were
fitted when Dennis Irvin ran it. |

These are a very nice bit of kit and still
affordable as apposed to say RC30/45. In
standard form they produce about 125bhp
and originally there was a factory kit available
to take them up to circa 165bhp. |

The OWO1 was on the market with an ohlins
back shock and carbon fibre body work well
before they had been heard of. |
