At the heart of the 1988 Yamaha FZR 750 Genesis sport motorcycle, Yamaha 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 121 HP (88.3 kW) at 12,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 161.5 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the FZR 750 Genesis measures 228 kg (503 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.53 HP/kg (1.88 kg per horsepower). The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
