YAMAHA YZF-R6 CE Canadian Edition (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha aYZF-R6 CE Canadian Edition, a special edition motorcycle, and as its name says, it was created specifically for the Canadian market only.

On the tech side, the bike featured the same specifications as the 2008 base model but offered a different livery, such as White with bright Red and Black accents with matching red rider and passenger seats, front fender, and rim stripes.

The bike featured the new compact and lightweight aluminum Deltabox MotoGP-inspired frame that used the engine as a fully stressed chassis member and offered a super light frame design and agile handling.

In the performance department, the compact, lightweight engine featured lightweight titanium valves and lightweight forged pistons with Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) system that provided great throttle response and a redline set at 16,000 rpm.

The 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 CE Canadian Edition had its soul in a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 129 hp with a peak at 14,500 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,000 rpm.

In addition, the bike featured a lightweight aluminum clip-on handlebar that reduced vibrations, an adjustable brake lever, a lightweight aluminum side stand, aluminum chain adjusters, and a special Canadian Edition logo on the fuel tank.
