Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 1991 Yamaha FZR600.Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
When it was introduced in 1989, the FZR600 was a quantum leap forward that was so good that Yamaha basically left it untouched until 1993. The Japanese company was focused on making a great base for production racing, and they were quickly proven correct – in the model’s first year, 9 out of the top 10 finishers at Daytona were on Yamahas and first place went to none other than John Kocinski.
Although the twin-spar frame was made from steel instead of the FZR400’s aluminum setup, the larger 599cc inline 4-cylinder engine bore a striking resemblance to its smaller counterpart, whilst also putting out a heftier 90 horsepower.
Several models of the FZR600 came with Yamaha’s EXUP valve system, which helped maintain back pressure when the engine was turning at low speeds; it led to better mid-range power though top-end power was reduced to 76 horsepower.
