Motorbike Insurance

The Yamaha YZF-R6 is this year's bestseller in the bike world.

Inside Bikes reports that 635 of the 133hp Supersport machines have been sold so far this year, around two thirds (452) in March alone.

Injection/throttle control enhances the power, while a "mid-ship" exhaust system breaks with Yamaha's past, bringing a new sound as well as style to the roads. The motorbike also has fully adjustable suspension and comes equipped with a slipper clutch.
