yamaha 2021 YZF R6 Race

R World only.

After a record-breaking 2020 season with the R6, Andrea Locatelli joined the list of WorldSSP champions aboard this legendary bike – which continues to prove itself as a leading-choice in supersport racing, as well as amongst track day enthusiasts and national racers.

The R6 is now dedicated for the race circuit only: R6 RACE. It boasts instant power, precision handling and razor-sharp cornering for a truly thrilling experience! It’s powered by a lightweight 599cc DOHC liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine, and features a Deltabox aluminium frame, a magnesium subframe, high-spec front forks and KYB rear shock suspension – maximising performance both on the straights and through those corners.
