But it was widely reported that the new 2006 YZF-R6's motor did not have this redline level and was closer to around 16,200 rpm. In February 2006, Yamaha admitted the bike's true redline was more than 1,000 rpm lower than advertised and offered to buy back any R6 if the customer was unhappy. | But it was widely reported that the new 2006 YZF-R6's motor did not have this redline level and was closer to around 16,200 rpm.

This is not the first time a sportbike's true redline has differed from it's redline shown on the tachometer. The 2005 Kawasaki ZX6RR has an indicated redline of 16,500 rpm on its tachometer. However, during a [[SportRider]] magazine test in the fall of 2005 when testing the ZX6RR on a dynamometer it wasn't possible to get the motor to rev past 15,000 rpm. The tachometer on most sportbikes is off by a certain percentage. New 600 cc motorcycles are revving up higher and higher, and while the percentage of tachometer error might not change, the error in number of RPMs increases. | This is not the first time a sportbike's true redline has differed from it's redline shown on the tachometer.
