    picked up a new (to me) bike today.
    i don't know much about it yet but it's a 1988 yamaha fz. still need to do vin decoding etc to know exactly what i have. i was told a 750 but you know how it is, and i don't trust this info yet. nevertheless, it is a cool looking bike, runs and i already took it for a quick spin. Has valid inspection. Carb cleaning should make a huge difference.
    she used to be yellow but one of the POs decided to go black on her. Fairings are in good condition, no obvious cracks or even scratches.

    Clint,

    Welcome to the forum, can't wait to see the bike. You will have to post 5 posts to be able to post pics on here. So you say the bike way yellow?? I looked up the 1988's FZ and the came in white/red, White/blue not too sure if it came in yellow. Anyway, I used to have a FZ 700 and loved it!!

    Is it the crotch rocket sport bike type or other?
    So the first one?
