RF600RU 1997 (V) (E22)

info

Introduced in 1993 this sports 600 looked like it had an aluminium perimeter frame, but in fact was steel, which is why the early models came with a painted frame in red or silver to match the bodywork. Despite the steel chassis it gave hardly anything a way to its more expensive rivals, and weighed just 195kg which was about average for that time. With 100hp @ 10600 rpm it performed as well as most of the competition but always lived in the shadow of the RF900, a very similar machine, and not much heavier, but with 25hp more!
