  • A ram-air-fed 16-valve DOHC powerplant and fully adjustable suspension see to it that the YZF600R gives up very little performance in exchange for its real-world superiority.
  • 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.

  • Potent 599cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC inline four-cylinder 16-valve 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.

  • 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.
  • Fully adjustable (preload, compression and rebound damping) remote-reservoir rear shock with 4.7 inches of travel delivers super-precise handling performance and maximum versatility.
  • Competition-spec brake system features dual 298mm floating front discs with one-piece four-piston calipers and a 245mm rear disc.
  • Five-position adjustable front brake lever fits a wide range of hand sizes.
  • Lightweight, cast-alloy, three-spoke 17-inch wheels front and back reduce unsprung weight and support modern radial tires -- 120/60-ZR17 front and 160/60-ZR17 rear -- for excellent grip and handling.
