I was in the dealership getting my tire and noticed an "odd" looking bike. After seeing this article, I'm going to have to investigate further. It was a '95 something, but it had a very similar paint scheme. It was so clean that I first thought it was a new retro bike. But the VIN sticker showed '95. I'll check and see exactly what it was today.

So, come to find out, it's not all that rare at all. On the other hand, not an everyday bike either. '95 YZF-600R. Looked kinda big compared to an R6.

An old friend had one, just the blue... Never really liked the cat eye gens.

Absolutely loved the previous gens when they were FZRs. Oh those earlier gen FZR1Ks, still.make me smile.
