presentation of the YZF 750 R 1997
after 2 years of pride of place in the 750 sport family, the YZF has decided to treat itself to a few little extras to continue its formidable, hard-working performance. The most attentive will have immediately spotted the little yellow appendage under the seat - you're right, it's an Öhlins shock absorber with separate cylinder. It's certainly the most striking feature of this sports bike's evolution. It wasn't really necessary to modify the YZF because it was so well born. Just a few tweaks and fine-tuning to keep it in top form. It gains a new, larger radiator, which has led to a slight redesign of the fairing panels, new fork elements to improve tube sliding, and also a TPS sensor on the carburettor manifold that affects the ignition advance curve. The result is improved performance on the track. It's here, between the vibrators, that the pistarde gives the full measure of its talent. - the 1995 YZF 750 R is a remarkable machine, but it's almost certain that only the most experienced riders will benefit from the modifications and the bonus of the Öhlins shock absorber. For the average rider, it remains one of the best, if not the best, 750 sport bikes on the market.
