A more extreme supersport experience.
When Yamaha launched the new-generation YZF-R6 for the 2006 season the machine became an overnight sensation. Equipped with the most advanced technology, and featuring aggressive minimalist bodywork, as well as a phenomenally quick engine and an ultra-compact race-bred chassis, the R6 represented a giant leap for high-performance motorcycle design.
The pace of change in the supersport world is remarkably quick, and in order to extend the machine’s clear advantage and underline its position as the leading choice in the 600 supersport class, Yamaha announce the introduction of the 2008 model YZF-R6.
Featuring the most advance race-bred technology ever seen in the 600 supersport class, this sensational new model raises the bar higher by offering unrivalled excitement and class-leading engine and chassis performance. And with its all-new bodywork, the 2008 Yamaha R6 is ready to underline its position as the most impressive, aggressive and high-tech 600 in the class.
Taking 600 supersport performance to a new level, the 2007 model R6 engine delivers the most incredible hit of power from 10,000rpm upwards. With its class-leading YCC-T (Yamaha Chip-Controlled Throttle), free-revving short-stroke configuration, race-developed fuel injection with secondary injectors, and a torque-boosting EXUP system, the 600cc 4-stroke DOHC in-line 4-cylinder 4-valve powerplant is in a class of its own.
