The Yamaha Motor Co. was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125 but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WSBk racing. The FZ/FZR range was launched with the FZ750 in 1985 in answer to Suzuki's trendsetting GSXr750. The FZR600 Genesis first came to market in 1989 and has since gone on to win numerous Supersport races including the last few World Supersport Championships.
This FZR600 has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he's decided to downsize his collection. It’s quite rare to find an FZR600 still in good and essentially standard original condition as many were used and abused on the race track. Last run about 3 years ago it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with lots of receipts, an owner’s manual and a current V5C.
