Yamaha YZF 600 R6 GYTR

From a press release issued by Yamaha Motor Europe:

Unrivalled heritage, dominant performance

Yamaha’s total commitment to racing is second to none. The company has been racing and winning ever since it was founded in 1955, and in 2021 Yamaha reinforced its status as one of the most committed brands in MotoGP, FIM Superbike World Championship and FIM Supersport World Championship – as well as underlining its number one position in many national championships including BSB.

R6 GYTR: Ultimate Racing Supersport

To ensure the continued domination of the R6 at international and national level the new R6 GYTR will be available for 2022, exclusively from YAMAHA PRO SHOP dealerships. Designed for a wide selection of customers from track day riders through to racers, the R6 GYTR is also the clear choice for more demanding competitors who want to take the bike’s performance to an even higher level by fitting a range of engine, suspension or other components from the GYTR line-up.

R6 GYTR comes fully equipped with a wide range of high-performance GYTR (Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing) parts, including a programmable Superstock ECU with a cable interface enabling the rider to optimise engine performance, as well as a racing wiring harness.

The lightweight performance enhancing titanium Akrapovič racing exhaust system produces around 100Db or less – and block-off plates for the Air Intake System (AIS) are fitted, allowing the removal of various hoses and canisters. Racing sprockets with a special 520 chain are featured, as well as high specification stainless steel brake lines for improved brake performance and precise feedback. The GYTR ABS Emulator will allow the ABS pump removal for even further weight reduction. And the GYTR race seat and fully adjustable billet rear sets give the ideal racing position while the shift pattern can be reversed as well. To get the engine in motion just push the GYTR start/stop button which along with the special GYTR fuel cap allows for a full keyless system.

The R6 GYTR is supplied with a lightweight primer white carbon reinforced glass fibre cowling, enabling riders and teams to apply their desired race livery and logos. Other FIM required parts are included as well, such as the front brake lever guard and rear sprocket protector.

To ensure this race machine matches customers’ expectations and preferences, the GYTR line up allows further upgrades.

The R6 GYTR will be available exclusively through Yamaha PRO SHOP dealerships, the first and only place that racers and track days riders need to go for all of their racing needs. Each GYTR PRO SHOP is run by people who eat, sleep and breathe racing, and are involved in racing activities. Furthermore, those special dealerships have direct contact with Yamaha Road Racing Technical Service – the European organisation responsible for WorldSBK, WorldSSP and EWC programmes – so they have the understanding and knowledge required to prepare your personalised racing machine to the highest level.

Four YAMAHA PRO SHOPS have already been appointed in UK: Crescent Motorcycles, in Verwood, Dorset and Padgett’s Motorcycles in Batley, West Yorkshire, and Raceways Motorcycles in Fleetwood, Lancashire and Tamworth Yamaha in Tamworth, West Midlands.
