The FZR 600 was made for ten years and is the trackbike of choice for many an amateur enthusiast. It is reasonably attractive, fast enough to entertain, and inexpensive enough to allow spirited riding. Yamaha eventually stopped the FZR to make room for the R6, but it’s hard not to mourn the loss of the bike that introduced so many would-be racers to the track.
