Since its creation in 1999, the Yamaha R6 has been the preferred Supersport bike, and the 2023 model will only be offered in a non-homologated variant.

A lightweight 599cc DOHC liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine with titanium valves powers the R6 RACE. 

Years of Grand Prix racing development are incorporated into the Deltabox aluminum frame, which optimizes front-to-rear weight distribution. The high-spec KYB front forks and KYB rear shock suspension produce precise handling and razor-sharp cornering. 

For maximum responsiveness, it also has traction control, D-modes, and a throttle controlled by a Yamaha chip ride-by-wire. 

The Yamaha R6 RACE is elevated by the R6 GYTR Kit, which comes in full race trim and is equipped with a variety of performance-enhancing features.
