There are countless riders around the world who learned the track on an R6. That blade-like cornering ability made it a legendary machine that shaped the riders who used it. Times move on, but it's still a shame to see this 600 disappear. Sticking to being 'a bike built for racing' all the way to the end was, at the very least, a matter of pride.

What happens to the GSX-R600 and CBR600RR then - the whole 600 class is basically endangered.

The 600 supersports were fun but never really suited touring. Still, sad to see them go.

The street model was basically already done a while ago - feels a bit late to say this now.

With the race-based model discontinued, that's truly the end - the curtain falls for real this time.

So the R6's finally ending - people called it the best 600 out there. Really sad.

Not being able to buy that high-revving 600 sound new anymore is heartbreaking.
