presentation of the YZF-R6 600 1999

exceptional: this little ball of nerves has turned the world of 600 super sports bikes upside down. With its compact size, racing bike looks, over 100 horsepower and 169 kilos, do you think you're reading a competition bike specification sheet? You'd be right, but this is one crazy bike, and you can find it at your local dealer. With an ultra-quick front end, insane braking, an engine that's dramatically hollow at the bottom and super-powerful at the top (watts surging furiously at 10,000 rpm), the R6 is dynamite. With no concessions: the duo, the freeway and the secondary roads with dubious surfaces will take you to purgatory. It's pure sport! Once set just right, the suspension proves comfortable but above all highly effective. Once up to speed, the mill pushes so hard that the front end jiggles more than it should on the rougher roads. It's all about knife-edge trajectories and sharp angles, and don't be afraid to put your knee out and wiggle to make the machine turn. The R6 is more than just a tool: it's a true pistarde that's a real pleasure to ride.

Probleme coupure du moteur

nino Model 1999

Good evening,

I have a Yamaha r6 1999 a few days ago I was driving on the highway and I had a total engine cut and I wanted to start but no way I stopped a few minutes then I start ok. I thought it was the fuel pump, I changed it but it wasn't that, I know it could be the electronics.... I wanted to know if anyone had had this problem???
Thanks in advance... 05/26/2014 21:49 Rating : 4/5 Respond to nino

Guss Model 2000

A sure value. 05/20/2014 20:06 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Guss

oro26 Model 1999

Good title, both supple and lively
mine is in full, the "bearings" are appreciable according to the type of driving 6000tr
8000tr 10000tr
a rail according to the panard but watch out for trajectory errors
big brakes are a bit lacking at low revs
in short, a good machine not to be put in every hand 01/23/2014 04:36 Rating : 4/5 Respond to oro26

Excellent

Jérôme Model 1999

It's a superb bike, I just got off a 103 SPX with a starter pedal, but the r6 is much more powerful in the revs! 12/06/2013 22:10 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Jérôme

i've just started my first 80 kilometers on it, and the discovery about the future is more than exciting, given the potential of this bomb 08/27/2010 22:51 Rating : 5/5 Respond to phildar

joh Model 1999

It's a beautiful bike, but not at all as good as a gsxr (both in terms of evolution and power!). 10/22/2008 22:40 Rating : 5/5 Respond to joh

samirlayl Model 1999

a real cannonball from 8000rpm, below that the torque leaves something to be desired! great looks compared to a cbr or a gsxr, the body is a bit stiff but on the track there's nothing better for a sports car! beginners be careful above 8000rpm. exceptional braking, at this level it's a success! 06/26/2006 15:27 Rating : 5/5 Respond to samirlayl

RenaY Model 1999

I've just sold (with some regret) my 2001 R6. I found it too ill-suited to the road, with handlebars that didn't respond well to heavy acceleration. Otherwise great bike, great looks, and I had a micron nh that hummed very well too... Still a great bike, but much better suited to the track! Bonne route ami(e)s motard(e)s.

Belle belle belle
Thunderous acceleration in the laps
Immense joy every time
I'm overjoyed with it and happy to have it
Keep a cool head and don't go overboard
Take care and the pleasure will remain... 04/29/2005 22:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Titi

kylian Model 1999

exceptional bike at high revs, over 10000 rpm, a real ball. The only slight problem is that the front end is too soft and the wheel is always in the air due to its 16500 rpm (18 in the red)
exeptionnelle sur circuit ( un régal a lédenon , circuit fait pour cette moto si l'on reste dans les tours )
the 600 gsxr , I eat it up, especially in roadholding and cornering with pirelli semi slic tires ( smooth edges ), the homologated tire but be careful in the rain , it doesn't like white stripes
what a ball! 04/11/2005 22:14 Rating : 5/5 Respond to kylian

John Model 1999

the r6 is a superb bike, powerful enough for where I come from (Switzerland), its design is excellent and it's a very comfortable bike! In short, it's the best bike ever! 01/20/2005 10:03 Rating : 5/5 Respond to John
