Buyer’s Guide Model Detail







Buyer's Guide > YZF-R6
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Most manufacturers show little interest in the supersport class, but Yamaha's R6 is still kept reasonably up to date, with a comprehensive electronics package (six-mode traction control, ABS,  riding modes, and optional quickshifter). In North American roadracing, the R6 is the 600-class bike to beat; it's the choice of most top supersport pros.
