Yamaha XTZ 660

Yamaha XTZ 660 is a sports motorcycle that appeared in the offer of the famous Japanese brand from 1991 to 1999. Its successor was the XT660Z Ténéré, whose name is derived from one of the classic stages of the Paris-Dakar race, its original version on the African continent.

The Yamaha XTZ 660 is powered by a 659 cc (5-valve, single-cylinder, SOHC) engine with a seemingly not very large output of 48 hp (36 kW)(6,250 rpm).

The first motorcycles produced between 1991 and 1993 can be identified by the rectangular front light, later produced pieces already had two circular lights in the front.
