When it comes to classic motorcycle brands, Yamaha, one of Japan's four major motorcycle factories, must not be missed. Yamaha brand has sophisticated car-making technology. And it has avant-garde and unique design concepts. So, it will create so many classic car models. Today, I'd like to introduce two classic Yamaha motorcycles to you. And I will accompany you to review the classic that will last forever.
1. FZR750R (OW01)
Speaking of FZR750R, we must mention the year 1985. At that time, Yamaha did not have large sports cars. In order to be able to win in an event, it had to pay close attention to research and development, and made the classic FZR750R with painstaking efforts.
In 1985, Yamaha took part in the TT-F1 class of Suzuka's eight-hour durability race. And it created the FZR750 (OW74) racing car based on the FZR750R. Later, Yamaha chose Kenny Roberts, a well-known WGP player, and Tadahiko Taira to play on behalf of "SHISEIDO Tech21". As expected, the FZR750R lived up to expectations. And it was in the leading position in the competition. But at 6 minutes and 58 seconds, FZR750R had a mechanical failure. And it even kept emitting white smoke, forcing it to withdraw from the competition. Even so, all this will not affect the shocking impression this motorcycle brings to everyone. Instead, it has become a deep brand that will be branded in people's hearts.
In 1987, FZR750R (OW01) was put on the market. It uses aluminum alloy car frame. And it has a newly imported FAI system. The materials used for the whole motorcycle were exquisite. And then the serial number of "01" was hung up. It represented the unprecedented position of this motorcycle.
2. VMAX
In 1985, the first generation of VMAX came out, initially focusing on the North American market. And VMAX's research and development concept is "street straight-line acceleration racing"! This motorcycle is representative of the American motorcycle industry. And it is popular with the appearance and energy of American heavy machinery.
Not only that, this model has a series of Black Technology and high-tech configurations such as "V-Boost Forced Air Intake System". In addition, it has the world's strongest 145ps power aid. It is powerful in speed. VMAX can be said to have subverted the established common sense of American and cruise cars. And it is deeply loved by fans. The strong love of North American fans for VMAX has ignited a huge flame of this motorcycle in the world sales market. With sales of more than 100,000 units, it can be described as a real best-selling model.
The above is the introduction of Yamaha's two classic motorcycles. The motorcycle brand Yamaha is often ridiculed by fans. But it does not hinder Yamaha's innovative spirit to try and make continuous breakthroughs. All this comes from the love and passion for motorcycles.
