Yamaha has been in the 600cc sportbike game since the introduction of the XJ600 in 1984. In 1998 however, the company would redefine the 600cc supersport class with the introduction of the all-new YZF-R6. Designed as a 600cc version of the freshly released R1 and offered as a higher-performance alternative to the YZF600R, the R6 featured a remarkable alloy frame and swing-arm and was powered by an inline-four that was the first 200hp-per-liter engine on a production 600.
For 2017, Yamaha gave the R6 a restyle so it would look more like its bigger brother R1. This not only increased the family resemblance, but it cut drag by 8%.
Other upgrades included an aluminum fuel tank, full LED lighting, 43mm KYB forks, new KYB rear shock, larger 320mm front discs, and new ADVICS four-piston calipers – this model was much more than just a new face.
