The Yamaha FZR600 is a sports motorcycle produced by Yamaha between 1988 and 1996 (1999 in the USA).
It was the successor to the FZ600 and was replaced by the Yamaha YZF600R in 1997. Unlike the other displacement FZR models released, the FZR600 was an export specific model mainly targeting the UK and US markets, and thus was not sold for the Japanese domestic market. It essentially used the same deltabox frame and swingarm of the FZR750, but replaced the 5-valve per cylinder 749cc inline-4 with a 4-valve per cylinder 599cc inline-4 engine. FZR600 models inherently did not include EXUP; those that had were only offered to countries and regions that had strict emission regulations, such as models sold in the state of California, which necessitated more efficient means of performance under restrictive equipment.
