2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 CE Canadian Edition[edit | edit source]
Like its very name says it pretty clearly, this bike was created for the Canadian market only. on the tech side, the bike shares the same features with its sibling, but it will be offered with a different livery, in blazing white with bright red and black accents, with matching red rider and passenger seats, front fender and rim stripes.
Just like the international version, the Canadian 2008 MY R6 gets better compression, from 12.8:1 to 13.1:1, and multiple other engine and frame revisions to make it an even more efficient supersport machine.
