2000 Yamaha YZF600R

Pros: Gorgeous, rides great, CHEAP, great brakes
Cons: need parts to go real fast, lacks aftermarket options of R6/R1

I love the sport of motorcycling. When I went in to buy my new sportbike (and consider that I owned a ton of bikes before, from Harleys to Ducatis to Viragos and GSXR's) I felt like a kid in a candy store. I loved the front ends of the GSXR and Ninja...

Pros: good bang for you buck, comfortable, well rounded, and fun!
Cons: transmission is annoying, older design.

This is my second street bike that I've owned and the first brand new one I have bought. Seeing as i can't afford a car and I only need transportation in the summer months a bike made the most sense for my situation. I have owned several off road bikes ...

Pros: Well Rounded; Enough Cash Leftover For Gas; Knockout Looks
Cons: People Will Say... 'Its not the R6'

My second bike, and have had for a little while now. I can't get over how sweet it is. Every *day* I'm annoying my friends about what a nice bike it is. You'll only have to read this once.

I don't recommend picking up a 600 class bike, if its...

Pros: inexpensive, forgiving, comfortable, smooth, stable, powerful
Cons: outdated styling, heavy, poor wind protection for tall people

Well, now i's time to do a review on my YZF600R, as I traded it in for a CBR600RR, so now I can really compare the Yamaha to something else. I bought YZF as my first bike, so I don't think any review from such a beginner would have credability. Now after ...

Pros: price, quality, performance, appearance, brakes
Cons: tranny takes a bit of getting used to

I purchased a 2000 YZF600r after owning a Yamaha VStar 650 Classic. I wanted something with more punch and more stopping power. After test riding many 600's (F4-TT600-ZX6R-R6) , I found that the YZF600r had all the qualities...

Pros: Reliable, Comfortable, Easy to ride
Cons: Unstable, Brakes, Performance

My wife and I bought a Yamaha YZF600R in '97, in order to replace our old Suzuki GS550L. The new bike proved to be a very reliable and comfortable all-rounder for street use, but we soon found out the limits this bike had.

In all, we put over...

Pros: Almost all of the functions of the R6 at a lower price
Cons: Doesn't have quite the power or handling of the R6

Just under a year ago I bought a Yamaha YZFR6 and have been loving it ever since. The handling is unreal, the power is more than I would have ever expected from a 600cc bike, and the looks of envy I get when I ride with people are definitely...

Pros: Fuel economy ,low to mid range torque, easy to work on, good top end.
Cons: A bit heavy when pushing the bike in tight spaces

The 600R with a little carby and pipe work and suspension set up can be one of the best 600 out there, but this doesn't mean you have to do this if you don't want to! my mate has a 2000 ZX9RE1 and we swapped bikes one day and he was amazed with the...

Pros: A wonderful all around sports bike
Cons: A little on the hefty side, Ergonomics need work

A little over a year ago I purchased my 2001 YZF600R. It has been nothing but fun since! It is a wonderful all around sport tour bike. With much more sport than tour the bike's comfortable riding position/stability, peppy in line four(that red lines a...

Pros: All around user friendly fast bike.
Cons: People will say, "Oh, it's not a R6"

I do not own a 600R, only have ridden one belonging to a friend. My experience is on a much more powerful and heavy 900cc sportbike, but this little bike absolutely amused me. Alot of people may say, If you are gonna get a 600 Yamaha, get the R6. If...

Pros: Everything about it!
Cons: Seat is just a little to tall, and fairing removal for the oil change

I bought my 98 YZF 600R in Nov. of 98, and have never regretted it at all. The bike is just incredible. I have run over 12,000 miles on the YZF in the first year alone.The bike gets great gas mileage (Average about 52 MPG) The power in the lower end...

Pros: Comfortable, stable, affordable, sporty yet very streetable.
Cons: Heavy, fairings difficult to remove, clunky gearbox.

I've owned the YZF600R for 6 months now. It was my first bike and I squeezed every ounce out of my meager student earnings to get it. For a beginner sportbike, it doesn't disappoint. First, it is very comfortable. The seat on this bike is like a sofa...

Pros: Sports Bike Style, Power, Solid Feel, Cheaper price tag then others in 600cc family.
Cons: Very heavy, Can be a bit too power for new riders, Little High

Bought in 4/1/04 This review is based on the following, I am: -28 -5'7" -140lbs -novice rider -risky car driver, risk averse motorcycle rider -want to be a stunta, but dont have the 8@LL$ -want approx 600cc bike -want the sport bike styling ...

Pros: Comfort, adjustable suspension, good gas mileage.
Cons: Maintenance is expensive.

A little background to start with, I'm 35, 5'9", 135 pounds and bought this bike two and a half years ago. After an MSF course (a must have(!) but a review for another page), two months of intensive research and shopping I decided this was the bike ...

Pros: ROCK solid bike
Cons: misses 1st to 2nd upshift occasionally under hard throttle

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best 600cc bike sold in the united states bar none!! Now I may be a little biased in saying this because my YZF 600R is sitting quielty in my garage right now but let me let the facts speak for themselves...
