The technology and design of the bike is focused on providing maximum performance at the circuit.Other important technical features making a significant contribution to the performance of both the road and race bikes are the crank and pistons. These are two more areas where the racers must remain absolutely standard. But there’s much more to the YZF-R6 than its engine.The massive air induction system is another M1-derived feature, going straight through the machine’s headstock and using the inside of the frame as the air cleaner box.
