FZ 750 & new baby at home

[Alf]

Like a new baby has just arrived at home (human baby, not a motorbike  ) this summer I cant lost 6 days going & coming from mainland Spain in a ferry (mainly because my wife could kill me travelling with 2 children alone)



So I decided to buy another FJ to leave it in Madrid to make fast rides with my friends... but I found this babe (this time yes, a motorbike) in Malaga: a time.capsule 1991 FZ 750 completely new and original with only 23.000 kms in the odo. So I could not resist the temptation and I bought it for peanuts

Wow ! Looks nice and original.

Excellent news on both fronts!

Nice original FZ that's for sure.

Alf, you make it sound like a courier dropped it off at the door and your wife would probably kill you if she saw your post, one photo of the genderless baby and three of the bike! Priorities man, priorities!

From someone who has recently been through it, good luck with the one on the right when she's a teenager, she's gorgeous (her mother's genes?). Being a father to teenage girls is hard work.

When it comes to boyfriends, I like that saying "Shoot the first one and the word will spread" 

Your newborn already had more hair than me dammit.

Err, nice looking bike too Alf.

++++1 what Noel said. Had 3 girls-- thank the Lord they looked like their mother! Hope you have a shotgun for when she gets older. Good looking bike but GREAT looking kids.  Dave

[Alf]

Thank you for your compliment, guys!

And yes, I´m looking for a shotgun to welcome my daughter future boyfriends. She´s terrible!. She is 5 years old and the other day tell me that she has 2 boyfriends at the school

When I asked her about the opinion of the "old" boyfriend (5 years old!) about the new acquisition, she told me

"he dooesn´t have to know, daddy"

Beautiful girls and nice bike.

I had no idea that Yamaha continued to sell the FZ750 after the 1986 model year.

I had an 86 in Red/White/Blue as my first real sportbike and still have a soft spot for that bike. I have memories of an almost psychotic power delivery and razor sharp handling... and I don't dare ride another one for fear of finding out different...

Well, the idea is fitting an Exup swing arm to use 17" rims with modern rubber, shorter dog-bones and R1 front brakes, similar treatment to my FJ. I rode with a 86 model a lot of times in my youth and I remember that the engine have nothing to envy comparing with my (then) powered FJ1100, so Its a good point to think I´m going to enjoy a lot... and if not, I´m offered the double that I´ve paid for, so anyway I think is a good investment

I like "Whatever you do to my daughter, I'm going to do to you".

congrats on the daughter!     

I've always wanted to build up an FZ750.  A man by the name of Tony Tice used to have an excellent website documenting the changes to his FZ750 -- haven't found it again but still looking...

Here is a quick pic of it though - www.sportbikerider.us/SP/8721

 Congrats on the child, and the FZ. I too had an FZ 750 back in 85,86. What an awesome motor. I still have an all original 85 to this day. Enjoy that smooth powerful five valve motor. The first of it's kind.

Congrats on both of those new family-members!

And I can only agree to those who mentionned about being a teenage girl's father. I always made sure that I had to clean my .50 when her boyfriends visited her...
