Yamaha YZF-600R Thundercat

The Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat was originally concieved as a pure sports bike. However in reality it has made its name as an acomplished sports touring machine, partly due to the fact the design was superseded by far more advanced bikes like the YZF-R6.

The engine and frame of the Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat was derived from its predeccessor, the FZR600R. The chassis is a steel frame unit coupled with an aluminum swingarm, while the engine is an extensivley redesigned 599 cc, inline 4-cylinder unit developing 100 horsepower.
