Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Yamaha announced the new R6 on last fall's show circuit. The engine and chassis are pretty much the same as the older model, but the new model gets a comprehensive electronics package — six-mode traction control, new suspension, ABS,  riding modes, and optional quickshifter. This model goes a long way towards bringing next-generation supersports forward.
