TRACK READY, STREET SMART
The 2009 R6 is designed to do one thing extremely well: get around a race track in minimal time. Its about a screaming, 15,000-rpm-plus fuel-injected four-cylinder engine in a taut chassis that
lets it snap from upright to full lean instantly. Oh yeah: Its a great street bike too.
