2003 Yamaha YZF R6

Seller’s Descripiton

The 2003 Yamaha YZF-R6 represents a monumental milestone in the evolution of the 600cc supersport class. This year marked the highly anticipated transition from the original carbureted setups of the late '90s to Yamaha's first-ever fuel-injected R6 engine platform, making it a legendary generation for sportbike enthusiasts. Along with the updated fuel injection, Yamaha gave the 2003 model a near-total mechanical overhaul, reducing overall weight, sharpening the handling chassis, and solidifying its reputation as an ultra-aggressive track and street weapon. The core of the 2003 update is the heavily redesigned 599cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine. By replacing the old heavy aluminum cylinder liners with ceramic-coated composite walls and adding an advanced 38mm suction-piston fuel injection system, Yamaha drastically improved throttle response and reliability.
Power Output: 123 horsepower at 13,000 RPM (fully realized via the ram-air intake system).
Torque: 68.5 Nm (50.5 lb-ft) peaking at 12,000 RPM.
Redline: A screaming 15,500 RPM ceiling.
Top Speed: Approximately 262 km/h (163 mph)Yamaha utilized its pioneering "Controlled Filling" (CF) vacuum die-casting technique to construct the Deltabox III aluminum frame. This allowed them to eliminate massive amounts of welding (dropping from 16 structural welds down to just two) while creating a frame that boasted a 50% increase in lateral rigidity.
Geometry Changes: The swingarm was lengthened by 10mm to optimize rear wheel traction, while the overall wheelbase was pulled in tighter to 1,380mm (54.3 inches) to maintain surgical cornering speed.
Weight Reduction: The bike shed an incredible 8 lbs (approx. 7 kg) over the previous generation, bringing its dry weight down to a featherlight 162 kg (357 lbs).If you are looking to purchase a used 2003 R6, it is widely considered an incredibly reliable and flexible platform compared to modern rivals like the stiffer CBR600RR. This bike, like all our bikes will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery. See this and other great deals at www.cyclehunters.com
