2014 Yamaha YZF-R

The YZF R6 isn’t a race replica; it’s a racer, eveloped at racetracks, oned to perfection. For 2014, he R6 is light, owerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing. As a result is one of the mostadvancedmotorcycles ever built by Yamaha. Is also the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system-for flawless response under all conditions.

Straight frame concept: developed from the Yamaha M1 GP machine, he YZF-R6’s steering head, wingarm pivot and rear axle all lie in a straight line-for unsurpassed handling-with an all-new inline four-cylinderenginedesigned for optimal layout and mass centralization.

Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking - downshifting from high speed. Formula 1-style air management presents very small frontal area and excellent aerodynamics; new ram-air induction ducts cool, igh-pressure air through the steering head for optimal combustion, orehorsepowerand enhanced engine cooling.
