I know they have a cradle under the engine, non USD forks & a different swingarm. But wouldnt time suggest thet as the model moved along Yamaha would have made it better?
To me the first FZRs were real Superbikes, & as the model traveled along its path, they seemed to softern it year by year.
I know the later ones had the EXUP, even that sort of gave them more low/mid power but very little in the way of improvment.
In the first few years the FZR won that many production races I lost count. In fact they were unbeatable for years in most types of racing. But then seemed to drop off the radar somewatt.
Yamaha seemed to be making it a better road bike & a less sporting bike.
Am I off track here, or did Yamaha mean to do this , or infact, are the later FZRs better then the early models as far as racing goes??
Someone inlighten me please.
