2016 Yamaha YZF R6

2016 Yamaha YZF-R6 60th Anniversary

The R6 is without a doubt the most dominant 600cc sportbike with championship runs in both Supersport and Superstock in 2015.

• The Ultimate 600cc Supersport Platform

Light, powerful, and equipped with the features and technology gained from winning multiple Supersport racing championships, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha—or anybody else—has ever built.

• Advanced Ride-by-Wire Control

The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with YCC-T®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system, for flawless response under all conditions.

• Variable Length Intake System

YCC-I®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, is used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband.

• Racing-derived Slipper Clutch and Transmission

Back torque-limiting slipper-type clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.

• Legendary Racetrack Success

The Yamaha YZF-R6 has won more AMA middleweight races and championships than any other 600cc sportbike.
