YZF-R6 - Catch the extreme

One ride on the R6 lets you know that this bike was born on the racetrack. Its technology is tuned to give you the kind of outstanding engine and chassis performance usually reserved for professional riders.

Its ultra-high-revving short-stroke engine unleashes dazzling power, made even more responsive by the state-of-the-art YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Intake) and YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Throttle).

Everything about the R6 is geared towards ultimate cornering, and getting rider and machine working as one. The chassis gives you handling developed through World Championship racing programmes, and the front forks are adjustable for all conditions.
