If you werent racing a Yamaha last year, it must have
been a nightmare for you. But if you try the same stunt this
. year, 1985 will seem like the good old days.
Because the newYamaha FZ600 is here.The succes- .
sor to theYamaha that laid waste to last year's box stock
middleweights.
The FZ600 still has quarter-mile record-setting
power, thanks to its proven 598cc DOHC inline four.Wth a
camshaft that acts directly on the valves for maximum
efficien~ An oil cooler for better reliabili~ And a four-intoone exhaust that trims weight and bulk while it enhances
response and power.
The engine is cradled in a box section steel frame
thats remarkably light yet incredibly strong. Wrapped in a .
high performance fairing for superb aerodynamics.
All suspended on air-adjustable forks up front and our
exclusive Monocross system in the rear.
Which, to~ther with a 16-inch front tire and triple
slotted disc brakes, makes the FZ600 as nimble in the chicanes as it is stable through those long sweepers.
And if its this good on the track, wait until you see
how it handles on the road. .
Now ifyou're thinking this is just typical advertising
hoopla, you've already misjudged us. Because this isnt an .
ad to get people to ride the FZ6OO.
Its simply a warning to those wh011 ~ riding something else.
