2006 Yamaha
YZF-R6
MSRP $9,199
Once again, for those averse to reading, Roberti's marks for the R6 succinctly paint an accurate picture on their own: A lowly 7 for low-to-midrange power, a 10 for top-end, and 9s the rest of the way through his scorecard. At the top of the list of things to love about the Yammie are its handling characteristics. It's as agile as a gopher being peppered by a B-B gun.
