Engineered by Yamaha for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 1987 Yamaha FZ 750 Genesis pairs a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 106 HP (77.4 kW) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 141.5 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the FZ 750 Genesis measures 229 kg (505 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.16 kg per horsepower). The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
