The 1989 FZX750 is the later cruiser-styled Fazer, with a retuned engine giving a bit less peak power (94 hp versus 102 hp quoted for the 1986 bike), transistorised ignition, BDS34 carburettors and a slightly smaller tank. It kept the low seat, near-solid rear wheel and chrome styling of the original.
