Yamaha SZR660 is a single-cylinder sportbike produced by Yamaha Motor Corporation from 1996 to 2001. It shares engine with Yamaha's XT660 line of dual-purpose on/off road motorcycles, but employs this engine within a Supermono package.
The 659-cc single-cylinder bike makes the most of its relatively modest power output by virtue of its light, stiff frame which means it handles extremely well, allowing it to shame many more powerful bikes on the twisty backroads of Britain.
The Yamaha SZR660 was built in Italy and is suitably equipped with Italian made Paoli USD (Up Side Down) front forks and Marazochi rear shock-absorber.
