The brand new Yamaha YZF-R6 is probably the most eagerly awaited new model for 2006 and it is now available in dealers country wide, priced at £7,499 OTR. The YZF-R6 has been highly acclaimed by the press since its World Launch in Qatar and clamoured for by the public since the first spy shots. Bristling with high-tech MOTOGP derived innovations, the R6 looks set to dominate the 600cc Supersport class both on the road and circuit.
Delivering 133hp (at the crankshaft), the all new motor powers to an incredible 17,500 revs and is controlled by the revolutionary YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) system. YCC-T is effectively a “fly-by-wire” intelligent injection/throttle control which enhances the power delivery of the machine and reduces fuel lag. The R6 also features a slipper clutch (also known as a back-torque limiter).
The race bred chassis gives unrivalled feedback while fully adjustable suspension can be fine tuned for both high and low speed settings. Other innovations include the “mid-ship” exhaust system which both centralises mass and gives a radical new sound and look.
The new YZF-R6 is available in Competition White, Yamaha Blue and Midnight Black. OTR Pricing for the 2006 YZF-R6 is £7,499 and is available in all 3 Colours. This very competitive price includes a colour matched racing seat cowl.
Yamaha look to have an awesome line-up for 2006, with new models including the YZF-R6, race ready YZF-R1SP, a revised YZF-R1, Street Moto MT-03, Naked and Faired FZ1 muscle bikes and the clutchless FJR1300 Semi-Auto tourer.
