Yamaha will build a final, track-only (race-base) run of the YZF-R6, bringing the storied machine's history to a close. Praised by many riders as the ultimate 600, the supersport's swan song marks the end of an era, as overseas media reflect wistfully on its legacy.
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.
