Yamaha YZR500, 1991-2002

The 2000 Yamaha 0WK6 was a further development of the 0WK1. It had new cylinders, cylinder heads and (of course) a new exhaust system. The geometry of the frame was changed together with the dimensions from the engine. The engine management was also new, altogether quite much for just a “further update". With the new cowling the machine was also quicker. Garry McCoy won 3 GP’s with the 0WK1, Max Biaggi won 2 GP’s and Norick Abe 1, enough for another Manufacturers title for Yamaha. The last one was 7 years ago!
