Yamaha YZF-R6 in dealers now!

Yamaha UK are pleased to announce the early first delivery of 2007 YZF-R6 machines to their dealer network. The new liveried machines are now available in limited numbers, priced £7,499, in all Authorised Yamaha Dealerships.

The new YZF-R6 will again be showcased in the ever popular Virgin R6 Cup and for 2007 in the white-hot competition of the British Supersport Championship! The Virgin Supersport team will consist of R6 Cup winners Billy McConnell (2005) and Tom Grant (2006).

Voted “Bike of the Year” in many publications in the UK and around the world the R6 looks set to lead the 600cc class again in 2007. Delivering 133hp (at the crankshaft), the engine is controlled by the revolutionary YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) system. YCC-T, effectively a “fly-by-wire” intelligent injection/throttle control enhances the power delivery of the machine and reduces fuel lag. The R6 also features a slipper clutch system for controlled entry into high speed corners.

All this power is controlled by the race bred chassis which gives unrivalled feedback while fully adjustable suspension can be fine tuned for both high and low speed situations.

Other innovations include the “mid-ship” exhaust system which both centralises mass and gives a radical new sound and look.

The 2007 YZF-R6 is available in Competition White, Yamaha Blue and Midnight Black and all machines are supplied with a colour matched racing seat cowl. All Yamaha motorcycles are supplied with a two year warranty and 1 year RAC cover.
