YZF-R6

This is the ultimate 600cc Supersport bike that has been dominating WorldSSP racing for years. Like every R-Series it has been developed without compromise in order to achieve the highest levels of performance. And to make it even easier for you and your team to prepare for the racing season, the track-only R6 RACE is now supplied in stripped down trim.

The R6 RACE is equipped with an aggressively styled body featuring the iconic M-shaped front air intake. Inspired by the factory’s M1 MotoGP® bike, this bodywork gives you maximum aerodynamic efficiency for reduced lap times – while the compact Deltabox chassis, sculpted aluminium fuel tank and slim magnesium subframe enable you to tuck in close to the bike on the straight.

Available in Tech Black, the stripped down R6 RACE is the perfect bike for everyone from track day riders through to hungry racers who want to make their name with their first major victory. With so many WorldSSP titles to its credit, the lightweight 599cc inline four-cylinder engine has proved that it’s the fastest in the business – and with its Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I) and Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) – as well as a slipper clutch, close ratio 6-speed transmission and Quick Shift System (QSS) – the R6 RACE gives you the highest level of controllability on every circuit.

*Please note R6 RACE is supplied without pillion seat or seat cowl, left and right console panels, and mirror cover plates. Images show these optional accessories fitted.
