2012 Yamaha R6

Yamaha is contemplating to launch their super sports motorcycle R6 in India but it will take some time. This middle weight beast will roam on Indian roads only by this year end. Looking at the aggressive pricing of the Ninja 650R, Yamaha may also price R6 very aggressively. You can accept the motorcycle to be in the price range of Rs. 6-6.5 lakhs.

R6 has 599cc liquid-cooled inline 4-cylinder, DOHC, 16 titanium valves, fuel injected engine with YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) and YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake). It got Transistor Controlled Ignition, a 6-speed w/multiplate slipper clutch transmission and a magnesium sub-frame for increased mass centralization. The handling is superb due to Deltabox aluminum frame which is best in the class and Ninja 650R can never match.
