2019 Yamaha YZF-R6

RESPECT R WORLD

Proven supersport dominance, iconic design and styling with reigning back-to-back MotoAmerica Championships.

Features may include:

• Engine

Cutting Edge Engine Design

The R6 is powered by a compact and lightweight 599cc DOHC liquid- cooled four-cylinder engine featuring the latest manufacturing technology. Sixteen titanium valves, a high 13.1:1 compression ratio and lightweight forged pistons allow for smooth, high-revving power. Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced friction. Magnesium engine covers minimize engine weight.

Race-Tested Variable Intake System

The YZF-R6 features Yamahas Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I)which electronically changes the effective intake tract length to give the benefits of both shorter and taller intake stacks in a single enginefor a broader, more tractable powerband. The twin injector intake system also uses shower-style fuel injectors above the intakes to provide optimum fuel atomization at high rpm.

• Chassis/Suspension

GP-Style Deltabox Frame

The YZF-R6 Deltabox aluminum frame incorporates years of GP development in terms of geometry, engine positioning and rigidity, resulting in the gold standard in 600-class handling. The R6 combines lightning-fast handling agility with confidence-inspiring mid-corner stability.

Magnesium Rear Subframe

A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralization, while the flat and narrow seat makes it easier to reach the ground and gives riders more room to maneuver during aggressive racetrack riding.

• Additional

Aggressive R-Series Styling

The YZF-R6 presents a sleek profile that expresses the next generation of Yamaha R-series styling. The LED marker lights create a striking face centered on the MotoGP-style ram air intake. Futuristic and aggressive, the R6 stands out compared to anything else on the road or track today

Top-Notch Aerodynamics

The smoothly flowing front face and bodywork achieves the highest level of aerodynamic efficiency of any production Yamaha in history, improving top speed on the racetrack. The cross-layered fairing design also ensures excellent airflow to cool the engine with minimal drag.
