1999
Yamaha YZF-R6
The original R6 set a new standard for 600 cc supersport performance — a 599 cc inline-four with 120 hp, five-valve cylinder head, and a chassis so light that it redefined what was possible in the 600 class. Its race-focused character made it an immediate hit in 600 Supersport racing.
