Cornering Confidence: YAMAHA YZF-R6 Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA YZF-R6" custom by Webike community user "Taka". The exhaust system features an AKRAPOVIC exhaust, perfectly matching the YZF-R6, known for its exceptional performance. This exhaust delivers on power, sound, and looks, giving you a taste of high-quality craftsmanship.

The tank is equipped with a SAITANIYA Tank Cover, designed to enhance knee grip, providing better support for the rider. The underside is coated with a smooth gel finish, ensuring a snug fit and causing almost no damage to the tank. Additionally, STOMPGRIP Traction Pads, a favorite among top racers worldwide, are also attached for further improved knee grip. To protect the engine, the heart of the bike, a GBRacing Engine Cover Set is installed. This engine cover, the only one certified by the FIM, is made from engineering plastic (PA6) with 60% glass fiber, offering impact resistance and ten times the strength of typical ABS resin.

The suspension has been upgraded to an OHLINS Rear Suspension, which reduces vertical and lateral sway, promising top-tier quality that enhances riding stability and comfort. Matching the gold of the stock front forks, which add a striking accent to the vivid blue body, the bike also features a gold BABYFACE (Sato Racing) Step Kit. The footpegs are precision-milled for the best non-slip performance. The tires have been swapped out for BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S23, designed to improve dry grip on the track and for cornering on mountain roads. These tires excel in edge grip when leaning deeply into corners, making them the perfect match for maximizing the YZF-R6's outstanding cornering capabilities.
