The Yamaha FSX750 Fazer was a motorcycle produced by Yamaha from the early 1980s until the mid-1990s. The US version was the [[Yamaha FZX700 Fazer|FZX700 Fazer]], imported only in 1986 and 1987, with a 50 cc smaller engine displacement to avoid | |||

Its engine was a retuned version of the four-stroke DOHC twenty-valve | |||
four-cylinder inline engine found in the [[Yamaha FZ750|FZ750]], producing ten BHP less than the 105 of the sports model, but having a stronger midrange. It had | |||
an almost solid rear wheel, low seat, and more chrome than would normally be | |||
expected. Unusually, it had downdraft carburettors built into the design of the | |||
thirteen-litre tank. It could reach a top speed of 131 mph. | |||
