Pioneer of the Sport Bike

It all started with the FZR. They had the first deltabox frame that all modern sportbikes are modeled after today. The 600 and 1000 models were steel, but the 400 model was aluminum and was the same size making it easy to swap them out for an overall lighter bike. I've personally owned one, and my brother has it now. They aren't the fastest bikes around, but will hang with the best of newer ones. The power doesn't really kick in until high rpm's so you have to gas it up pretty good, but who doesn't like doing that? It's a very narrow bike making it perfect for canyon carving which is where it gets down to business. Yamaha was far ahead of their time. Dual headlight bikes FTW!
