Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace appeared in 1996, replacing [[Yamaha_FZR1000 | Yamaha FZR1000]]. The motorcycle was focused on the export, for Japan, market in Europe and North America, but a small amount is also presented at Japanese auctions. Thunderace is the progenitor of the flagship [[Yamaha_R1_ (YZF-R1) | Yamaha YZF-R1]].

The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace was built on the basis of the engine from [[Yamaha_FZR1000 | FZR1000]] (its updated version received a lighter crankshaft and pistons, as well as new larger carburetors with throttle position sensors), which did not produce more power, but due to improvements it became more high-torque at medium revs. The Thunderace 1000 frame is a Deltabox-type aluminum structure, modified from [[Yamaha_YZF750 | Yamaha YZF750R]].

The main features of the Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace include a sports aluminum Deltabox frame, fully adjustable suspensions, powerful front 4-piston Nissin Sumitomo brakes, a 20-liter fuel tank, a 5-speed gearbox and 224 kg of curb weight.

In 1998, the flagship sports car [[Yamaha_R1_ (YZF-R1) | Yamaha YZF-R1]] was introduced to the world, although the Thunderace was available until 2001 inclusive. Meanwhile, with the release of the R1, the Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace began to position itself as a sports tourist. A similar situation happened with the younger version [[Yamaha_YZF600R_Thundercat | Yamaha YZF600R Thundercat]], which after the release of [[Yamaha_R6_ (YZF-R6) | Yamaha R6]] also began to be considered a sports-touring model.
