Yamaha has given the new 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 a complete workover and despite the motorcycle looking pretty similar to the current Yamaha R6, it gets a new frame and swingarm, reworked 599cc engine, new slipper clutch, improved front brakes and more aerodynamic bodywork. Yamaha is claiming the changes have made the 2008 Yamaha R6 the most advanced production 600 class motorcycle it has ever...

...and it's got a handy little shelf at the back to sit your coffee on

very noice...

wrong name on the tank tho... well, emblem

S'pose one would be alright.

If you couldn't get a -6R.

Yams always look a bit flimsy to me, though. Dunno why, I owned one back in the 80's that was sturdy enough and so did a lot of my mates. Come to think of it though, things did tend to fall off them a lot (footpegs, sidecovers, exhaust mounting bolts, indicators, etc).

That just looks damn sexy! Kwakka better not miss the boat on this next lot of model releases.

That looks nice, eliminator on the back and your all systems go.

Great bike,

I've owned 2 R6's an 00 and and 03

thats actually not bad looking at all - mainly because its *BLACK* !! Yamaha styling is either Hit or Miss. That one is a Hit.

Bugger that looks good,the ZX10R better look that good!!!
