We review the 2019 Yamaha YZF-R6 supersport on the road in this episode of <em>MC Commute</em>.
We take Yamaha's racy YZF-R6 supersport on a ride to work during this week's episode of MC Commute.
Yamaha’s YZF-R6 received more slippery bodywork for the 2017 model year to make it look more in line with its YZF-R1 brother.
Low slung and quiet. The R6’s titanium muffler does a great job of keeping noise down outside of the cockpit.
The 2019 YZF-R6 wears modern suspension based on the components used on the YZF-R1. On the street the R6 offers a taut ride, which can be made more forgiving via the spring preload and damping adjustment circuits.
Front suspension adjustment is housed atop each fork leg, rather than at the bottom, making it easier to modify spring preload or damping.
The R6 benefits from a powerful set of front brakes that are not only sharp feeling, but easy to master with well-metered bite and always-on ABS.
Designed for sport riders seeking the ultimate in handling performance, the 2019 YZF-R6 delivers an acceptable level of comfort and engine power for everyday street use.
Full LED lighting graces the YZF-R6. Not only do the styling of the headlamps look appealing, the function is improved versus the halogen bulb setup.
Although it’s not a fancy color TFT display, like the YZF-R1, the R6 dash is easy to read and has all the pertinent information a street rider needs. We appreciate the large swept face tachometer and huge shift light.
