The smooth movement of the 4-cylinder engine and the wild performance at its high rotation range, fascinated the fans. Its big body that made it look one class bigger, and it became a huge hit.

It mounted a water-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 4-valve single cylinder engine gave good response of a sportbike. Its bore x stroke ratio was short (Φ 76mm x 55mm) like the CBR1000RR.

Though its size was small, it had sufficient floor space. It came in three types: standard, retractable handlebar version (the first motor scooter to adopt one), and the self starter version.

It was the first commercially sold model to adopt an aluminum frame called AL-BOX. It came with a front 16-inch wheel, ANDF (Anti Nose Dive Fork) system, and a tight rear full floater suspension.

It adopted the newly designed engine, the YAMAHA's first "Over 1L". XS1100 was a model that had continental handlebars, but the special edition model came with a raised handlebar.

F800R is a motorcycle that lets you feel the joy of riding through your daily lives. It is so comfortable that it will no doubt become the representative motorcycle of the ROADSTAR series.

It was a MONKEY-based bike. It was equipped with full-fledged parts such as the dual headlight or the knuckle guard. It changed its color by adopting the BAJA logo on its tank.

Spec 2 was added to the FZ6 as well. The changes were the same as FAZER Spec 2: such as the front brake caliper, the swing arm, or the engine setting.

It was a business-use motorcycle that mounted a rotary disc valve single cylinder engine on its press backbone frame. It also came with a safety device.

The number of new models revealed at INTERMOT last month were more than expected so expectations weren't high for EICMA, however it seems that we were wrong. We're more like having the first new model rush in the past several years.
