==Description==
In answer to the unprecedented motorcycle boom and the popularity of racing that began in the early 1980s, each Japanese manufacturer became involved in a battle for new model development at a quick rate, and Yamaha was no exception. When the racing potential of the XJ400 (introduced in 1980), was questioned, Yamaha released the 4-valve, liquid-cooled XJ400Z in '83. That same engine was then dropped onto a double-cradle steel frame with a wide-loop tank rail with the introduction of the FZ400R and its heightened F3-look the following year.
In 1986, concepts from the Genesis were then developed into this FZR400 that employed a straight intake with the airbox placed on top of the engine and its forward-canted cylinders. That newly-designed motor employed a 45-degree forward slant to the cylinders just like the FZ750 that appeared in '85. Yamaha's aluminium delta-box frame was adopted for the first time after it was introduced on the TZR250. And considering that this came one year earlier than its use on the FZR750, the installation of this innovative frame on the FZR400 is something that indicates the degree of importance of this class of bike at that time.
Developed simultaneously with the YZF400 motorsports machine, the advanced level of the FZR400 was remarkable. Not only did it incorporate the newest racing technology, but sported (both front and rear) the first low-profile radial tyres for a production bike, and was lightened through a variety of schemes such as a resin fuel tank cover. The FZR400 was a little too sharp from a performance standpoint and the response a little too abrupt, but it displayed high potential and sustained the Yamaha way of enjoying motorcycle riding.
Development continued, with the final FZR400R model introduced in 1987 with a built-in EXUP exhaust device, and the final FZR400 with an EXUP and new FAI air intake system in 1988. In 1989, a complete reform starting with 35-degree, forward-slanting cylinders and turned into the FZR400RR, a machine that can easily be considered a works bike replica.
