The displacement of the Yamaha R6 is 599cc, which belongs to the category of large-displacement motorcycles. Below are the relevant details about the Yamaha R6: 1. Body parameters: The Yamaha R6 has a length, width, and height of 2040*705*1095mm, a seat height of 850mm, a minimum ground clearance of 130mm, a wheelbase of 1375mm, a curb weight of 189kg, and a fuel tank capacity of 17 liters. 2. Engine parameters: The actual displacement of the Yamaha R6 engine is 599cc, with four cylinders and a four-stroke cycle, featuring four valve chambers and a DOHC valve structure. The engine compression ratio is 13.1, with a maximum power output of 91kw and a maximum torque of 65.7N·m. It utilizes a liquid-cooled cooling system and an electronic fuel injection system. 3. Transmission parameters: The Yamaha R6 is equipped with a 6-speed/international gearbox and chain drive. 4. Wheel and braking parameters: The Yamaha R6 features cast aluminum wheels and tubeless tires, with front tire specifications of 120/70ZR17 and rear tire specifications of 180/55ZR17. The braking system consists of front dual discs (four-piston calipers) and a rear single disc (single-piston caliper).
As a seasoned rider who has played with four generations of R6, I can confidently say the Yamaha R6 has consistently maintained its golden 599cc displacement. This liquid-cooled inline-four engine may seem modest, but when you rev it high on the track, it's absolutely intoxicating! The explosive power after the tachometer needle breaks through 8,500 RPM delivers a kick-in-the-back sensation. While it might feel a bit breathless during low-speed commuting, once you hit the highway, its mid-to-high-range acceleration can leave many bikes in its class half a corner behind. A quick tip for new riders: With a seat height of 860mm, those under 170cm might need to tiptoe at stops, but once moving, it handles with the lightness of a ground-hugging flight.
