Cheap to Operate
Capable and Comfortable
The perfectly balanced middleweight supersport machine. A model of civility attuned to the everyday needs of the real world. That's not to say the 600R doesn't feast on twisty tarmac as hungrily as its supersonic R1 and R6 siblings.
Serious Performance
The YZF can carve with the best of them, which should come as no surprise considering its high-performance pedigree -
- Liquid-cooled, 16-valve Genesis in-line four tuned for potent low-mid-range punch
- Slick-shifting 6-speed transmission
- Yamaha's legendary Deltabox frame
- Fully adjustable suspension front and rear.
Real-World Ergonomics
But where the YZF's true beauty lies, perhaps, is in just how comfortably all this performance comes packaged. It's the perfect cross between aggressive supersport and relaxed daily commuter, courtesy of these features -
- Wide, plush seat
- Slightly rearset footpegs
- Moderately low clip-ons
- Broad, tall fairing.
The YZF600R. "Absolute proof," hailed the Motorcycle press, "that real life is not a racetrack."
