I think the ZF has something to do with the seat style designation. At least it did when the 600R came out but now the R6 and R1 messed it all up.

The motocross bikes are YZ xxx Fs, not YZFxxx s; and Yamaha has used YZ to refer to motocross bikes for more than 20 years. YZF is like CBR, GSX-R, or ZX; it doesn't mean anything, it's just a designation.

Thats not necesarily true ... like the RX7 is because it is a rotary engine, it could have a meaning.

Doesn't the "X" in GSX-R designate that it has 4 valves per cylinder (as opposed to the GS being only 2 per)? Maybe it has some sort of meaning like that but for Yamaha of course.
