Business in motorcycle racing is tough and ruthless. If you want to be successful on the slopes, you have to revise the technology of your machines in quick succession. What was in pole position yesterday can be passed on mercilessly tomorrow. And in the minds of the engineers it rotates just as fast as in the engines, from which they always want to tease out one more horsepower than the competition. But what can be done with the old engines? They are far too good to sink them back into the blast furnace after a short time. The solution sounds banal, but does? as so often? a successful result: let’s build a powerful all-round bike around the powerful engine that can keep the owner happy for years to come. the Yamaha Fazer is like that
a case of “operation successful”.

The success story of the first Fazer generation began in 1998 with the four-cylinder from the super sporty 600 Thundercat. The old YZF-R6 unit is now used in the current FZ6 series-
gat as an organ donor. Admittedly in the Fazer with highway-compliant »bottom-center coordination« and packed into an uncomplicated chassis. With the appropriate and by no means exaggerated throttling, it is a clear case for entry into the motorcycle world and after the probation period open to everything. Newbies and those returning to the sport are convinced of the safe handling of the Yamaha, experienced motorcyclists like the rich cushion of driving dynamics and power. In 2006 they saddled up again and gave the FZ6 Fazer an ABS on the way.

The bottom line is that the Fazer is a great all-rounder, as a driving school machine and just as popular with beginners as it is with the veterans, for whom it conjures a satisfied grin under the helmet shell on the home route and on excursions into the mountains. The used market tells a lot about the wide range of applications of the 600 Yamaha. High mileage and extras such as case systems and heated grips testify to the touring suitability of the still sporty four-cylinder.

The unproblematic handling is also provided with an equally unproblematic technology. Fazer see a workshop at most for inspection work or for the replacement of wear parts. The trade in used machines is also very brisk. Traders confirm that a Fazer has not been for sale for a long time. What you as
