The all-new YZF-R6 isn’t a race replica, it’s a racer, developed at racetracks, honed to perfection with the knowledge we’ve learned from our successes in MotoGP, World Superbike and World Supersport racing.

This latest and greatest R6 features performance never before available in a 600 – 130 horsepower at 14,500rpm – and technology you won’t find on any other supersport bike – its radical Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) is the biggest breakthrough for throttle control in decades. And that’s not all, the 2007 R6 also features our straight-frame concept which aligns steering head, swingarm pivot and rear axle for lightning-quick steering and super-responsive handling, plus a slipper clutch and a shorter stroke engine with twin-injectors for astonishingly controllable performance.
