What the R6 Race Is – and What It Is Not

Anyone who finds the R6 in Yamaha’s model range needs to understand one fact first: this motorcycle cannot be ridden on public roads. There is no restriction kit, no exemption, and no A2 option.

The YZF-R6 was sold as a street-legal motorcycle through model year 2020. When Euro 5 emissions requirements tightened, Yamaha chose not to re-homologate it. Instead, the company repositioned the model decisively. From MY2021 onward, the R6 has been sold exclusively as the R6 Race – a trackday and competition motorcycle without road registramfcxh
