The '''Yamaha FZX750''' was a [[motorcycle]] made by [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] from the early 1980s until the mid-1990s. The US version was the '''FZX700 Fazer''', imported only in 1986 and 1987, with a 50&nbsp;cc smaller [[engine displacement]] to avoid [[import tariff]]s on motorcycles larger than ''700&nbsp;cc''.<ref name=Gingerelli2011/>
Its engine was a retuned version of the [[four-stroke]] [[DOHC]] twenty valve four cylinder in line [[engine]] found in the [[Yamaha FZ750|FZ750]], producing ten [[Horsepower#Brake horsepower|BHP]] less than the 105 of the sports model, but having a stronger midrange.


Designed as a custom, it featured an almost solid rear wheel, low seat, and more [[Chrome plating|chrome]] than would normally be expected. Unusually it had downdraft carburettors built into the design of the thirteen litre tank.

==Notes==
Frequently referred to as the mini or baby [[Yamaha V-Max]] due to a slight similarity in style, it could hold its own against the larger more powerful bike, due to its far lower weight and twenty valve aspiration.

Its current values remain high, due to its attractive unaging style, and the seat being low enough for shorter riders.
