The Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat is a supersport motorcycle Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha, which has been offered in Europe from 1996 to 2004. In the U.S., the model was sold up to and including 2007.
History
The YZF600R Thundercat was placed by Yamaha as a successor to the FZR600 in the supersports segment. Despite good performance she was able to hold difficult on the track against the sometimes significantly lighter competition and was replaced in 1999 by the YZF -R6, which bribed by their much more radical design. The bike was henceforth advertised as Super Sports Tourer, which corresponded to their properties significantly better. On the road its merits as a comfortable seating position, dual seat and effective disguise came to better advantage than on the circuit.
