•A thick, supportive seat for two behind a fairing designed more for weather protection than maximum aerodynamic penetration at full tuck makes the YZF600R a great sport-tourer too.
Engine:
• Potent 599cc, liquid-cooled, 16-valve DOHC inline four-cylinder powerplant puts out strong, yet street-friendly power perfectly tuned for both aggressive sport riding and everyday commuting.
• Durable, lightweight forged pistons help reduce weight for increased throttle response.
• Ram-air-style intake below headlight aspirates high-pressure cool air for maximum performance.
• Four 36mm Keihin downdraft carburetors ensure crisp, seamless throttle response throughout the rev range.
• Close-ratio six-speed transmission provides optimal power delivery to the asphalt with effortless shifting.
• 4-into-2-into-1 muffler optimizes engine performance while reducing weight and maximizing lean angle with tucked-in positioning.
Chassis/Suspension:
• Legendary Deltabox chassis design is a perfect combination of light weight and rigidity for super-precise handling and cornering.
• Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) 41mm telescopic front fork with 5.1 inches of travel offers race-inspired suspension performance with ultra-precise rider feedback during aggressive riding conditions.
