Longest Test: Yamaha YZF-R6
By Niall Mackenzie on 02/11/2009 10:37:09
Our undisputed king of the Supersport class for 2009, Niall Mackenzie explains why he wouldn’t swap the YZF-R6 for anything else...
I suspect my turnaround time between the MotoGP round in the Czech Republic and setting off on our ride to France is going to be tight so I make some pre-trip preparations. Before leaving for Prague, my R6 is cleaned and fuelled, has its oil level

Used Review: Yamaha YZF-R6
By Bertie Simmonds on 05/04/2008 16:08:21
Yamaha's feisty little R6 has deservedly gained a cult status amongst its fans, as a rev-happy, sharp-edged alternative to Honda's more easy-going CBR600.
THE YZF-R6 was Yamaha's hard-edged answer to the dominance of Honda's CBR600.It re-visited what Yamaha 600s had been doing best up until the launch of the Thundercat in 1996. The R6 was edgy, raw, uncompromising, revvy and fast, where the lap

First Ride: 2002 Yamaha YZF-R6
By Visordown on 12/07/2002 10:21:49
Getting back on the R6 was like getting back on an old friend. I don't normally ride my old friends, you understand, but the R6 responds like no other to a massive session of throttle abuse
Bordering on being hard work, there's no real midrange to speak of, the gearbox is pretty notchy, and some people don't like the frisky front end. But if you can live with these characteristics (deficiences is too strong a word) the Yamaha R6 is one

Living with a 2004 Yamaha YZF-R6
By Tim Dickson on 15/06/2004 10:18:07
Tim proves that the Yamaha R6 can handle the tracks, the commute and life as a tourer
August 2004Tyres this month. I've swapped the standard D208s for Pirelli Diablos, primarily to see what difference a 120/70 front (120/60 is standard) made to the R6's handling. Why Diablos?Pirelli (along with Metzeler) are alone in listing 120

Living with a 2009 Yamaha YZF-R6
By Niall Mackenzie on 16/08/2009 17:00:04
Niall Mackenzie spends some quality time with the Yamaha R6, here's his review
the UK – maybe they’re all going straight onto trackdays around the country.This sad news (for me, anyway) coincided with our 600 group test to Assen in which the R6 came out on top, so I’m far from disappointed with a bike that appears to have the edge
