The YZF-R6, finally the true send-off. The final build-to-order 'R6 Race' is circuit-only, borrowing suspension and brakes from the 2024 R1. 1,375,000 yen, delivery February 26, 2027. A legendary middleweight supersport closing the curtain like this - as someone who's raced on track, sadness and respect well up in me at the same time.
