The YZF-R6 was born on the track to take you to extremes. We used our racing know-how to create a supersport bike that delivers the performance and feel you need to explore new limits. Outstanding features include MotoGP-derived YCC-T for ultra-precise throttle control and aluminium Deltabox frame for intense cornering performance. FeaturesKey Features: Light, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production middleweight motorcycle Yamaha - or anybody else - has ever built. The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system—for flawless response under all conditions. Straight frame concept: developed from the Yamaha M1 GP machine, the YZF-R6’s steering head, swingarm pivot and rear axle all lie in a straight line—for unsurpassed handling—with an inline four-cylinder engine designed for optimal layout and mass centralization. Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/down shifting from high speed. Formula 1-style air management presents very small frontal area for excellent aerodynamics; ram-air induction ducts cool, high-pressure air through the steering head for optimal combustion, more horsepower and enhanced engine cooling. The YZF-R6 is the AMA Supersport Champion in its rookie season.

My last bike was a 2002 CBR F4I, I thought this was about as good as it could get, at least with your clothes on. I was set on naked street bike, the 919, but something about it just did not sit right. After looking into the improvements since 2002, I finally decided to jump fence and go with Yamaha, earlier this week I purchased a 2007 YZF R-6. The factory states to keep the rpm’s below 8K during breakin, I still have another 300 miles before I can really start to explore this machine’s potential but I can alreCady tell, this bike is light years ahead of my CBR. Power, handling, ergonomics, comfort, sound, etc. the R-6 wins in each category. Neither bike is built for vertically challenged riders like myself, but I had to decide, should I turn my back on the R-6 because it is difficult to manage stops and starts. For now I have come up with a fix, I will just hang off the starboard side to ensure I get this foot down. I was going to have the bike lowered but as of right now I believe it is best, keep it stock and ride the heck out of it. I do not believe any rider would regret a R-6 purchase. The fun quota is off the scale. It has not revealed any bad traits. And to say it is fast is really an understatement. I can not wait to get past the breakin, but for now I will utilize these next few days to experiment with handling. A much more indepth comment will be forthcoming and I am sure it will be positive.
I’ve been ridin the cycles for 37 yrs ever since yamaha’s came around in the 40’s, and this is the fastest boat on EARTH! Its like driving naked through cactus bushes in the desert, but as smooth as lesbian ham on your pizza. I recomend buying this bike if your ready to have your clothes ripped off your body by hot young men.
