(1984 / Production Model)

RZV500R

This model was developed as a replica of the YZR500 factory works machine that fan favorite "King" Kenny Roberts rode in the 1983 World Championship. It was the world's first production model to mount a 2-stroke V4 engine and it adopted different induction systems for the forward and rear banks of cylinders: crankcase reed valves in front and piston reed valves in the rear. Among the other innovative technologies employed throughout showcasing Yamaha's spirit of challenge was a horizontally positioned rear suspension mounted under the engine.
