When it was introduced in 1987, The FZR 1000 was The sportbike. It was a class leader in handling, performance, Delta Box frame technology, and 5 valve per cylinder Genesis engine design. The FZR 1000 set the liter class sport motorcycle world on it's ear. While it's true that the performance envelope has been substantially expanded since 1987, including the areas of frame and suspension technology, braking, and engine design, the 1987 FZR 1000 still performs admirably, and now has WERA Vintage status.

Here's what some of the literature of the day had to say:
