I just couldn't help putting this bad-boy of a motorcycle on my wish list. And why not? The 600cc 4-cylinder 4-stroke motor makes enough power that you'd think it was 150cc bigger! As with previous "R-type" bikes from Yamaha, it comes ready-to-race right from the showroom floor. As such, the R6 caters more to the experience road racers--it takes more effort and concentration to place the bike where you want. Me? I wouldn't mind just sticking to a "regular" YZF-600. I'll take mine in blue and white, thank you. Or if I wanna go stupid-fast...
What needs to be said? This thing's a great open class bike! It doesn't even weigh that much, either!
