The 2015 R6 was the long-running 2008-generation supersport 600, carried over largely unchanged into its last years before the 2017 redesign. It combined a short-stroke 16-valve engine with YCC-T ride-by-wire throttle and YCC-I variable intake funnels, an aluminium Deltabox frame and a slipper clutch. Aimed at both road and track, it relied on high revs for its power.
