We get ahold of Yamaha’s new R6 supersport at the AIMExpo show in Orlando, Florida.

It’s been a long time—10 years to be specific!—since Yamaha’s YZF-R6 has seen a major update. For 2017 the tuning-fork company revamped their supersport with new bodywork, a new fork and front-brake system (with ABS), traction control, and more. In this video from the AIMExpo floor Senior Road Test Editor Ari Henning touches on the main changes that the R6 underwent for 2016.
