 Complete Manufacturer List  | Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer
 
 
 
 "Yamaha's Fazer looked like a straightforward budget offering when it first M. 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 calipers - 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. 
 The basic but capable chassis blends remarkable sporting prowess with the comfort and usability of a long-distance machine, while the brakes provide the best performance in its class, by a long chalk. Power, feel and progression are all present, and the Fazer's low weight makes the brakes even more impressive. 
 Unlike the Bandit or Hornet, the Fazer comes only as a half-faired model. The small twin headlight unit provides impressive wind- and weather-protection, although its styling wasn't initially to everyone's taste, and the headlights performed rather poorly at night. For 2000, the Fazer received a minor update, in the shape of a larger-capacity fuel tank, up 2 liters (0.4 gaT) to 20 liters (4.4 gaT), while the dash received a new digital clock and the forks gained preload adjusters. The extra tank capacity further improved the already impressive range, making the Fazer even more user-friendly. In 2002, the Fazer saw a more significant revision. A new fairing, based around the FZS1000 Fazer 1000 design updated its styling and markedly improved headlight performance. The tank also received another capacity increase to 22 liters (4.8 gal): easily enough for 320km (200 miles) between fill-ups. 
 
 Review 
La partie cycle fait appel à un nouveau cadre 
composé de deux éléments en aluminium coulé sous pression et boulonnés entre eux. 
Une première dans la catégorie. C’est au total (avec les autres améliorations) 7 
kg qui ont été gagnés par rapport à l’ancienne Fazer. Les côtes et la géométrie 
de ce nouveau châssis ont été choisies pour donner à cette nouvelle machine une 
très bonne maniabilité dans le trafic urbain. Le bras oscillant en aluminium de 
590 mm est 70 mm plus long. L’axe de bras oscillant, proche de l’axe du pignon 
de sortie de boîte, réduit les écarts de tension de chaîne dus au mouvement du 
bras oscillant. Le débattement de la roue arrière est augmenté de 10 mm et 
atteint 130 mm. La fourche de 43 mm est plus large pour accueillir des 
pneumatiques en 120/70-ZR17 à l’avant (180/55-ZR17 à l’arrière). L’angle de 
braquage est de 70°, ce qui est susceptible d’améliorer la maniabilité en ville 
et l’agilité qui étaient déjà bonnes. 
 
Selon Yamaha, la bulle a fait l’objet d’un travail approfondi, mais une version 
haute sera disponible en option, tout comme un spoiler et un top case. Alors que 
la première Fazer avait vu son réservoir augmenter 2 ans après sa sortie, la FZ6 
se contente de 19 l. Soit elle consomme moins, soit Yamaha a la mémoire courte. Source Motormag
