At the heart of the 2009 Yamaha FZ6R sport motorcycle, Yamaha pairs a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 65.5 x 44.5 mm (2.6 x 1.8 inches) with a 12.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FZ6R measures 211.8 kg (467 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.41-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
