he development targets for the 2010 Yamaha R6 are to be the most exciting bike to ride on the track and the most fun sport bike to ride on winding roads. For 2010, the engineers have tweaked the Yamaha R6 to provide more power in the mid range and to reduce noise for improved rider comfort. But don’t worry, the high rpm rush that has made the R6 famous is ready when you are. Confidence, agility, performance and most importantly fun.

The Yamaha 2010 R6 is designed to do one thing extremely well: get around a race track in minimal time. It’s about a screaming, 15,000rpm-plus fuel-injected four-cylinder engine in a taut chassis that lets it snap from upright to full lean instantly. Oh yeah; it is a great street bike too.
