Yamaha Motor Australia has revealed the 2016 model YZF-R6 – the track-bred grand prix-based supersports weapon – at the MotoGP event at Phillip Island.

In order to help celebrate 60 years of passion and innovation, Yamaha is offering the new R6 in a 60th Anniversary Yellow colour scheme. The new 2016 models will also be available in a new Matt Grey and the popular Team Yamaha Blue and White.

And there will be another shipment of the exclusive and limited production YZF-R1M model in Silver Carbon Blu. With one of Yamaha’s MotoGP riders guaranteed to become 2015 world champion, YMA has chosen the Australian MotoGP as the ideal venue to reveal the new supersports models.

The triumphant YZF-R6 supersport model will be released at the end of October 2015 in 60th Anniversary Yellow for $16,499, while the more traditional colourways are due for a January 2016 arrival at $15,999.
