The '''[[Yamaha]] YZF 600R''' (known as the '''Thundercat''' in some European markets) is a 600cc sportbike. Although the engine displacement is the same, it is not as powerful as its sister, the [[Yamaha YZF-R6|YZF-R6]]. The 600R is considered a good first [[sport bike]] for an experienced rider, but not for someone with no experience at all. | |||
With its 4 cylinders and 100 BHP the Thundercat is a comfortable and road minded [[supersport]] bike. The model kept almost unchanged from 1996 to 2003. | |||
