Yes.

If memory serves correctly, for the US market, it was only available for two years.

The YZF600R is pretty much what the Katana used to me. It was Yamaha's bread and butter in the late 80's.

Cant go wrong with either as a starter bike but the 600r definitely isnt as heavy to throw around as the tuna

I like these bikes. I went to my local dealer the other day and sat on a 2005 yzk600r. very light with a good feeling. you dont have the major leaning over like on most sport bikes. in my opnion, its like a lighter, faster, more stylish katana. good all around bike.
