2003 Yamaha 599cc YZF R6
Registration no. DX03 KXE
Frame no. JYARJthe details below
Engine no. J505E0003776
Introduced as Yamaha's 600-class contender in 1998, the R6 has undergone a process of continual revision and updating and is still in production today. Improvements introduced over the years include fuel injection, 'upside-down' forks, radial front brakes and a 'ride by wire' throttle, all of which have been aimed at keeping the R6 abreast of its rivals and, of equal importance, competitive in the World Supersport Championship, which it last won in 2021 courtesy of Dominique Aegerter. At national level the R6 has always been well represented, while many of today's top riders learned their craft in the Virgin-sponsored R6 Cup, arguably the best known being ex-British Superbike Champion, Tommy Hill.
This low-mileage R6 has had three former keepers and was registered to the current vendor in October 2019, since when it has been kept as part of his extensive private collection within a climate-controlled environment. Notable features include a Meta (Thatcham approved) alarm/ immobiliser; Oxford heated grips; R6 engraved alloy chain guard; body-coloured tank pad with R6 logo; polished wheel rims with red spokes; double-bubble dark-tinted screen; and a tail tidy. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry bills; Meta system certificate; old/ current V5Cs; and a quantity of MoTs, the most recent issued in October 2017 at 7, 373 miles. Re-commissioning is advised before returning the machine to the road.
