2000 Yamaha TT 600 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2000 Yamaha TT 600 R features a 595 cc (36.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 43 HP (31.4 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 50 Nm (36.9 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 72.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (6,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the TT 600 R measures 131 kg (289 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 945 mm (37.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).
