The 2012 Yamaha YZF-R6 base model is a high-performance supersport motorcycle powered by a 599cc liquid-cooled inline 4-cylinder engine. This DOHC, 16-valve engine produces 129 horsepower at 14,500 rpm and 48.7 lb-ft of torque at 11,500 rpm, featuring advanced electronics like the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) and variable intake (YCC-I) alongside a high 13.1:1 compression ratio and a screaming 16,000 rpm redline. Power is delivered through a 6-speed manual transmission equipped with a multiplate slipper clutch and an O-ring chain final drive. Its chassis relies on a lightweight aluminium Deltabox frame paired with a fully adjustable 41mm inverted front fork and a fully adjustable rear piggyback shock. For stopping power, the bike uses dual 310mm floating front discs with radial 4-piston calipers and a single 220mm rear disc, riding on Dunlop 120/70 ZR17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tires. Designed for aggressive riding, the R6 has a 33.5-inch seat height, a 54.1-inch wheelbase, a 4.5-gallon fuel capacity, and a ready-to-ride wet weight of 417 lbs.
