First offered for sale in North American markets in 1994, the YZF600R underwent a major aesthetic re-styling in 1997 and was introduced to Europe in 1996 as a replacement to the FZR600. It retained major mechanical component’s such as the engine, transmission, suspension components and steel "Deltabox" frame, which is perhaps the largest contributor to its hefty weight when compared to more modern aluminium framed competition.
With its 4 cylinder engine and 90 BHP (67 kW) the YZF600R Thundercat is a comfortable and road biased sports bike. While it weighs in at a hefty 189 kg dry, it is still capable of 150 mph (240 km/h). Its comfortable seating position and relatively torquey motor make it a favourite for sport touring applications, while the fully adjustable suspension and legendary Sumitomo One piece brakes (later used on the R1 and R6) also make it a good choice for track racing.
