2005 Yamaha R6

Blue  4k miles

4224 miles - Motorcyclist Magazine has called the R6 their Sportbike of the year.

123 horsepower in a 359 lb bike. 600 cc 16 valve liquid cooled in-line four cylinder engine.  Fuel injected. 6 speed. Never down, well treated, very very nice shape.

NEW FOR 2005

Engine upgrades in the form of 40mm throttle bodies, revised fuel injection and ignition maps, new camshafts and intake funnels, etc., all result in a 3-horsepower increase at the same rpm as before with more power across the board.

New, fully adjustable inverted fork with 41mm tubes further reinforces R6s main strength: precise handling.  New, cast top triple clamp and forged lower clamp also increase rigidity, and work with revised handlebar positioning.

To complement the new fork, the rear section of the Delta box III main frame was revised internally to work with revised swing arm linkage and mounts for improved handling.

Lighter, 310mm front brake discs replace 298mm units. New radial-mount four-piston calipers and radial master cylinder provide greater braking power and feel.

120/70-ZR17 front tire replaces previous 120/60-ZR17 for improved handling.

Twin, ring-type radiator fans are now used to ensure optimal engine cooling.

Revised headlight lens and revised under-cowl for even better style.
