We haven't been racing 50 years for the trophies. What began as a means to increase reliability and performance has become a major motivator. The spirit of competition infuses every sport machine Yamaha makes, from ATV to YZ. They're all built to do one thing: get you there first.
MODEL DESCRIPTION
Light, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha¿or anybody else¿has ever built.The YZF-R6 was the ?rst production motorcycle with a ?y-by-wire throttle system¿for ?awless response under all conditions.YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, introduced in 2007 on the R1, is now used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder ?lling and a broader powerband. On the higher-revving R6, its bene?ts are even more pronounced.Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
