== Overview ==
 
The [[Yamaha FZX750]] was build from the early 1980s until the
mid-1990s. The US version was the FZX700 Fazer, imported only in
1986 and 1987, with a 50 cc smaller engine displacement to avoid
import tariffs on motorcycles larger than 700 cc.
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.[citation needed] 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.
