The US-market version of the FZX750 cruiser-styled roadster, sold only in 1986 and 1987, with the engine reduced by about 50 cc to dodge import tariffs on bikes over 700 cc. It used a retuned version of the FZ750 five-valve four, giving up some peak power for stronger midrange. Styling features were a low seat, an almost solid rear wheel and extra chrome.
