Engineered by Yamaha for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2016 Yamaha FZ6R relies on a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. 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 213.2 kg (470 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 paired with a rated consumption of 5.47 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 318 km (198 miles) between fill-ups.
