[[Yamaha]]'s '''YZF-R6''' is a 600 cc [[sport bike]], first introduced in 1998, updated in 2001, 2003, 2006 and revised in the years in between. The current version (model year 2006) has a 161 kg (357 lb) dry weight, which delivers 133 [[horsepower|hp]] (97.8 [[Watt|kW]]). The R6 is usually considered visually appealing and has been described as looking like "a sinister cross between Samurai armor and 21-century [[motorcycle]] tech". | |||
