Yamaha has confirmed the end of production for its supersport, the 'YZF-R6.' Bringing down the curtain will be a 2027 track-only model, which will be available for reservation in Japan. The R6, a symbol of the middleweight inline-four supersport class, exits the public road and closes out its story as a dedicated race-track machine — a decision marking the end of an era.

So the R6's ending... I've heard that middleweight inline-four sing on track more times than I can count. Retiring from the street and closing out as a circuit-only machine might just be an inevitability of the times. But the joy of revving it out and leaning it into a corner is a treasure only the people who've actually ridden it will ever understand.

Being circuit-only, can it not be ridden on public roads at all?

Middleweight supersports are basically down to just the 6R and CBR600RR now.

Want to reserve the last R6, I love that high-pitched inline-4 sound.

Keeping it alive circuit-only in a limited way feels like life support, kind of sad in its own way.

Even if it's just extending its life, I appreciate them properly putting out one last unit.

So the R6's disappearing from the street, it hits hard for those of us from the inline-4 middleweight supersport generation.

Under Euro5+, inline-4 middleweights were already cornered on both regulation and cost.
