2005 Yamaha YZF-R6, Very clean bike. Newer tires!!! - We started out to give the 2005 R6 more horsepower and a new fork, and wound up engineering a nearly new motorcycle. Staying out front in the Supersport wars takes power: New camshafts Bigger throttle bodies Improved fuel injection Revised intake funnels ... and more, result in a smoother, fatter powerband with three more horsepower at 13,000 rpm. To channel that power, a new, fully-adjustable inverted fork with 41mm tubes was added for the most precise handling possible. It was too good a place to resist mounting powerful new 310mm front disc brakes, radial calipers and a radial master cylinder to even further exploit the R6?s amazing front-end feel. The added rigidity of the new fork led to a redesign of the main frame to accommodate new rear suspension linkage. Light weight, razor-sharp handling, unsurpassed overall balance ? elevated to the next level. That's why the R6 was the winner of Motorcycle-USA.com's Supersport Shootout for 2003 and 2004. Anybody up for a track day?
