Those old 2 strokes for being over 25 years old ran some good
ET for their time.My stock 500cc ran 7.60's in the 1/8 mile
Hanging on to an old 2 stroke ride running mid 7's in the 1/8th mile
is a way different feel than just sitting in the seat of a supercharged car
running close to the same.

Here's my '87 FZR 1000.
Much like for the 928's, Mercedes Coupes and GTVs, it's one of those sentimental things from my youth. It was the Yamaha to have when I was a teenager, and when a few years ago I came across an unmolested, all original (aside from the exhaust, which I have the original part for) low mileage example I just had to have it. 26 years old and still gives me a big *** grin every time I twist the handle. Just like the 928's...and the Mercedes...and the GTV...

Wow Nice. I had an 88 in the early 90's. Same colors. Favorite bike I ever had. Built a Formula USA motor for it, and got in lots of trouble with it. FZR 1000s still look good today, at least to me.
