Yamaha’s Fazer looked like a straightforward budget offering when it first appeared in 1997. Styled like the Japanese-market Fazer 400, the Fazer 600 used a re-tuned version of the Thundercat engine, in a steel-tube frame. But the high-performance front brake callipers – shared with the Rl superbike – and aluminium monoshock rear suspension hinted at sportier performance than the likes of Suzuki’s Bandit 600, the budget 600 market leader at the time.
On the road, the Fazer is an excellent performer. The 599cc engine is fitted with smaller carburettors than on the Thundercat, providing the Fazer with superior low-down and mid-range torque for effortless, fast progress.
The maximum speed of around 232km/h (145mph) quickly appears, but it is the friendly, easy delivery of the power that most impresses.
