The 2013 Yamaha YZF-R6 remains mechanically unchanged but does get new paint schemes.
First introduced in 1999, Yamaha’s YZF-R6 took the middleweight would by storm with its aggressive handling, high-horsepower engine and premise of being a “racebike with lights.” Without a doubt this was the case, winning countless Shootouts in a wide variety of magazines, as well as taking the world racing scene head-on. The Japanese Inline-Four was an instant success and ‘99 saw the Yamaha R6 take the Manufacturer’s World Supersport Crown. It followed that effort up with taking the Rider’s Championship in 2000 with Jorg Teuchert, as well as winning the Manufacturer’s title once again. With its ride-by-wire throttle, fully adjustable suspension front and rear, twin 310mm brake discs at front with 4-piston calipers, 17-inch alloy wheels with 120/70 (front) and 180/55 (rear) ZR-rated rubber, MotoGP-style titanium exhaust muffler, magnesium valve and engine covers and built-in lap timer, the Yamaha R6 is themost advanced production 600cc bike. Key Features: 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 YCC-T®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system—for flawless response under all conditions. YCC-I®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, is used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband. Back torque-limiting slipper-type clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.
