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.

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. | 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 | The 2006 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. | ||

The YZF-R6 becomes the first production [[motorcycle]] to use a “fly-by-wire” throttle control system rather than traditional cables: [[Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle]] (YCC-T). | |||
