Though that might seem like too much weight and too little power today's 600-class standards. the YZF nevertheless clocked a very respectable quarter-mile time--11. 33 seconds at 120. 78 mph--and registered a measured top speed of 150 mph. Not at all shabby. Why it won: Yeah. it looks like a sportbike. That's because it is one-- good enough. in fact. to have won the 1996 AMA Supersport championship. But it's also an exceptionally versatile motorcycle that's comfortable enough. roomy enough and possesses a wide enough powerband to effectively handle most kinds of everyday riding. No wonder Yamaha kept it in the lineup for so many years. even long after the YZF-R6 became the company's hot-rod 600cc repli-racer. From the Ten Best Story: "Other middleweights can get around a road course quicker. But back in the real world. where most 600 owners reside. the Yamaha YZF600R gets the job done no less effectively. and a lot more gracefully.
