Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Motorcycle Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
Introduced during the 1990s, Yamaha's YZF600R Thundercat combined genuine sports-bike performance with a more accommodating riding position and greater everyday usability than some of its more uncompromising 'hyper sport' bike contemporaries
Powered by Yamaha's 599cc liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine, driving through a six-speed manual gearbox
Twin-beam aluminium frame, black alloy wheels, twin front brake discs and a full fairing and pillion seat
Developing 100bhp and capable of over 150mph, made it a great choice for fast touring
Finished in its original red, silver and black colour scheme and still fitted with its original exhaust system
Appearing remarkably well presented for a machine approaching 30 years old, with its wonderfully evocative colour scheme and styling transporting you straight back to the heyday of 1990s Japanese sports bikes
Purchased brand new from Carnells in 1997 remaining with its original owner ever since and now indicating less than 600 miles from new
A great opportunity for the Yamaha enthusiast or collector, combining charismatic 1990s styling with usable performance and the added appeal of having been purchased brand new by its only owner in 1997
UK-registered with number TBC. The registration number illustrated does not form part of the sale.
