Yamaha YZF-R6 Motorcycle

without comments

Motorcycles are a rite of passage for most young boys. It is the first true freedom they find to get out and go places and literally the first motorized vehicle many of them own because of the economics involved in owning a vehicle and the fact that most young boys are not well off financially.

One sporty and fast bike is the Yamaha YZF-R6 (more commonly referred to as R6), which has great looks and performance. The bike is blazingly fast for it’s class and should excite almost anyone who is lucky enough to ride one. Yamaha claimed that the R6 has a Max RPM of 17500, but it’s known to be in the 16800-16900s, which should be more than sufficient to most people.

The Yamaha R6 has a 600 CC engine styled as a 4 stroke with 16 valves and is liquid cooled, with dual overhead cams and new model utilizes titanium valves. It has fuel injection and a six-speed transmission. The nearly 5 gallon tank allows for a decent cruising range and the dry weight is only 366 pounds so it should be easy to maneuver.

The styling is like traditional racing bikes and most people will like the appearance of it. It’s a great looking machine, and the almost immediate success of it was introduced back in 1999 and it continued success today shows signs of that, ten years later.

These machines maintain their value and resell fairly well which makes them an anomaly in the motorized vehicle industry where only a handful of vehicles actually maintain worth. There is also a huge following out there of people who enjoy customizing this bike and so there is a plethora of after market accessories available for the bike so you can truly take the production machine, which is no slouch to look at, and make it an extension of your own personality by adding or subtracting parts that show who you are.

Do you want to redesign your Yamaha R6? No problem! There is available almost everything like replacement fairing, bar ends, exhaust, seats, mirrors and lights. Most parts are bolt on and all you have to do is remove the old and replace with the new. That makes changing your look easy, sweet and fast. A new look every season is within grasp! That would surely impress all your friends.

No matter what, the Yamaha YZF-R6 is a motorcycle that will allow you to look as good on it as it looks sitting there all alone and will get you from here to there in style.
