2010 Yamaha R6 Announced

Improvements have been made to a number of key areas.

• The engine has been remapped for great low RPM torque.
• The muffler has been lengethened 100mm for noise suppression.
• A new variable intake
• Revised 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system
• Magnesium sub-frame

Appearances haven’t changed much from the 2006-2009 models. It would be hard to improve on such a spectacular looking machine as it is. Several new paint schemes with bold graphics will make their debut as well.
