2013 Yamaha FZ6R Review and Specifications

2013 Yamaha FZ6R

The 2013 Yamaha FZ6R is a cutting edge sport bike with a twist. Unlike most other machines in this class, the Yamaha FZ6R features state of the art engine and chassis designs. The twist is you do not have to sacrifice performance or handling to gain excellent rider and passenger comfort.

The 2013 Yamaha FZ6R has a special ambiance that makes you feel comfortable the minute you swing a leg over the seat. It is a sports bike that does not make any earth shattering claims; just a bike that will leave you smiling after each and every ride. Perhaps you are just getting started in motorcycling or have been around long enough to recognize that fun is not always determined by engine size or horsepower.


The 2013 Yamaha FZ6R offers features that make it easy for beginning riders to get started: A low seat height, grips that reach back to you, and a torque, 600cc engine you wont outgrow anytime soon. Add a beautiful diamond-steel frame, a sleep fairing, an R6-style exhaust and a price that makes it way more affordable than it looks, and it all adds up to the ultimate first sport bike.

The Yamaha FZ6R fits perfectly into the less intense sport bike world with its easy to control power, light weight and low seat height. A slim compact chassis complements the fuel injected engine and its very linear throttle control. No lap records here, just a bike that inspires rider confidence and is a blast to ride.
