The smaller brother of the flagship R1, the 1999 Yamaha YZF-R6 is an equally enthralling bike. Packing a 599cc displacement for its 4 in-line engine, it is capable to produce a peak power of 120 hp and 92 Nm of torque. The power to weight ratio is lower than that of the R1, as the R6 tips the scales at 169 kg.

Nevertheless, the 1999 R6 is no to for inexperienced riders, as it has been loaded with state-of-the art technology, and is an adversary to be reckoned with both on the track or on the street.

Great looks, even greater power and maneuverability to match them both, the 2002 Yamaha R6  has them. If superbikes are not your cup of tea and would rather go for the middleweight class, then this supersport machine is one of the top choices. The frame of the bike is manufactured using the Controlled Filling Die Cast technology, resulting in a structure which is stronger and stiffer, while being lighter.

The 2003-made R6 gets a new injection mapping, now able to provide more power and torque in the low- and mid-range rpm areas, and this spells excellent streetability. The engine works smoother thanks to the revised exhaust canister, while riding in the high-rev range will provide an exhilarating experience, both on the track and through the twisties.
The 2003-made R6 gets a new injection mapping, now able to provide more power and torque in the low- and mid-range rpm areas, and this spells excellent streetability. The engine works smoother thanks to the revised exhaust canister, while riding in the high-rev range will provide an exhilarating experience, both on the track and through the twisties.


With a Deltabox III frame making the whole machine stiff and narrow, the 2003 YZF-R6 is more aerodynamic and even more eager to make credible claims to any supersport crown available on earth.

The smaller brother of the R1 superbike, the supersport-class 2004 YZF-R6 brings just about the same level of performance and thrill, of course keeping the displacement difference in mind. The engine of the R6 received multiple revisions for this model year, and they include new camshafts, bigger throttle bodies (now 40mm), better injection and new intake funnels.

2005 also brings in a new fork and a new rear suspension linkage, which triggered a redesign of the Deltabox III frame. Add in bigger but lighter 310mm brake discs, dual radiator fans, a revised headlight lens and overall reduced frictional energy loss.

If the 600R was not sporty enough for you, both tech-wise and from a design point of view, Yamaha has prepared a Street version of the R6 for you, sporting almost identical bodywork and character, though with a more "civilian" engine and transmission behavior.

The 2005 R6S may be hard to tell among other R6 machines, but the main thing to indicate the version is the fork. The racey R6 comes with upside down forks, while the suspension of the S version is a normal one. Several other tech details keep the R6S ore on the road side of riding, While a full-our R6 would beat the R6S hands down, the latter is a blazing fast machine nevertheless.

A more civilized, street-friendly version of the R6, the 2007 MY R6S brings a new definition to the term "do it all sport bike". Unlike its supersport-derived sibling, the R6S has traditional forks and the 4 in-line engine also got a special set of tweaks to make the bike feel more reassuring and performing better, even though you'll not be  revving it up just as high as the R6's.

Developed using countless years of racing expertise, the Supersport-class Yamaha YZF-R6 reaches now new performance boundaries, pushing things even further into the reals of pure road-aggression adrenaline-drenched riding. Less intimidating as a liter-class superbike such as its bigger sister, the R1, this machine is still highly-capable to deliver awesome speed and a most rewarding experience for the sporty rider. With  chip-controlled intake and throttle, the power delivery is precise and has no lag: just like a racing bike should be like on the track.
