- Light, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha—or anybody else—has ever built.
- The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system—for flawless response under all conditions.
- YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, introduced in 2007 on the R1, is now used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader power-band. On the higher-revving R6, its benefits are even more pronounced.
- Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. (Courtesy: TOPSPEED.COM)
