Used 2016 Yamaha YZF R6 Sportbike Motorcycle

2016 Yamaha YZF R6, This Yamaha R6 Comes equipped with a Slip-on Toce Exhaust (MSRP: $389)  All business and no fluff the R6 s style comes driven entirely by performance considerations. An angry-alien front fairing contains a pair of headlights separated by a vented cutaway located centrally beneath the clear speed screen. A fairly clean pair of mirrors rise from the top of the fairing and bless Yammy for not trying to make them part of the aesthetic; they re simple yet classy and one of the first things to go with the race kit. You thought it was race ready right off the shelf? Well it very nearly is once you strike off all the drag-inducing street **** like the mirrors turn-signals plateholder etc. . Clip-on bars pull the rider into the doggy-style position over the 4.5-gallon fuel tank. While this is comfortable enough once you re tucked in at speed it tends to put quite a bit of pressure on the wrists and shoulders and take some getting used to at around-town speeds. . The engine cowling leaves tantalizing glimpses of the powerplant while vents help to remove heat and re-integrate the cooling air into the slipstream while generating as little drag-inducing turbulence as possible. Unfortunately the lower vents also blast your boots with waste heat so that s something else you ll have to get used to. . At 33.5-inches tall seat height is typical for the genre which means it s in tiptoe country for most of us. Taller riders will be able to flatfoot it but will feel the awkward slow-speed ergonomics more keenly. In short; take a nice long test ride to make sure you can live with it especially if you shop in the big-and-tall section. . Pillion accommodations are Spartan to say the least but there is enough there for a  really  motivated passenger to work with. The rear end is probably the only disappointment in the looks department though; the sprayguard/plateholder/ turn signal assembly makes it easy to strike all that superfluous stuff for track use but the other 99-plus percent of owners who will never see a race course are stuck with that hideous appendage that is  so  last year. A tagholder hugger with subframe-mount turn signals would make a nicer finish for this otherwise spectacular specimen. . Yamaha builds the R6 around an aluminum Deltabox frame with a lightweight magnesium subframe and aluminum swingarm. Not only does the GP-influenced frame come built for cornering stability with an anti-squat feature but its lightweight construction helps the R6 meet its 417-pound wet weight. Not only that but the factory took pains to keep what weight was left as centralized as possible for minimal rotational inertia and quicker flicks and reversals. . Cast 17-inch rims make their contribution as well with a Z-rated 120/70 hoop up front and a 180/55 in back all of which is typical for the genre. The five-spoke rims mount dual 310 mm front di… Read the full description on our Website at: www.texasstrongpowersports.com
