Japan/USA 1988
An individual’s dream
With the America 1, Sam W. Klambour realised his dream of the perfect synthesis of European, Japanese and American motorcycle technology. The basis for this, a Yamaha 1000FZR, was a major sports machine in 1988.
Fine materials
Gold, Kevlar or carbon fibre: the “customizer” did not spare any expense to use the finest materials. Every blank component was covered with a 24-carat gold layer: the frame, the fork, the rear swinging fork, the chain ring etc. A new Kevlar and carbon fibre cowling gives the America 1 its unique look.
30 layers of colour
An airbrush artist designed the tank and sides according to the owner’s specifications. The American theme is very unusual for a Japanese supersport machine. The owner liked it, and he could be sure that, with the America 1, he had created the most exclusive Yamaha 1000FZR in the world.
