Yamaha Motorcycles was formed in 1955 and the first bike produced was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. Renowned for their performance two strokes, especially in racing circles, impending emission regulations forced them into developing a range of four stroke powered bikes in the early 1970s beginning with the XS650 twin. By the later 1970s a full range of four cylinder models was offered with the XJ, FZ and FZR models. The Fazer was Yamaha's entry into the sports tourer market with an engine derived from the YZF600R Thundercat, detuned to give more mid-range power, and the front discs and blue-dot calipers from the YZF-R1.
This Fazer 600, being offered at no reserve, is presented in excellent and original condition. A good looking bike in silver with black engine casings, it is the 'S' half faired model still fitted with the original Yamaha silencer. Run recently, the bike will be supplied with an alloy radiator guard, adjustable levers, an owners manual and a current V5C. The Fazers are renowned for being good all-round Sports Tourers, already over 20 years old, it's a future classic that's still very usable in modern day road conditions.
