2006 Yamaha YZF-R6 in Crate
Presentation
This 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6 50th Anniversary Edition was delivered new to the selling dealer who has kept it unprepped in its crate. It is finished in yellow, white, and black and is equipped with a 599cc DOHC inline-four paired with a six-speed transmission. Additional equipment includes electronic fuel injection, clip-on handlebars, adjustable suspension, triple disc brakes, an aluminum Deltabox frame, and 17″ alloy wheels. Additional components remain inside boxes that are secured to the crate and have not been opened. This crated R6SPV is now offered by the selling dealer with a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin.
The fully faired bodywork is finished in yellow, black, and white livery with “Speed Block” graphics and is mounted over a die-cast aluminum Deltabox frame in which the engine is carried as a stressed member. The crate carries two boxes that contain stock components that would have been installed upon initial delivery.
Five-spoke 17″ cast-aluminum wheels are finished in black with yellow rim stripes and wear Dunlop tires. Adjustable suspension consists of a 43mm telescopic fork as well as a piggyback-reservoir monoshock mounted via linkage to the die-cast aluminum swingarm. Braking is provided by four-piston calipers over dual 298mm floating discs up front along with a single-piston caliper over a single 220mm disc at the rear.
Aluminum clip-on handlebars mounted below the upper triple clamp frame instrumentation consisting of a black-dial analog tachometer with a 15,500-rpm redline along with a shift light and a multifunction screen with a digital speedometer.
The liquid-cooled 599cc inline-four features double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and electronic fuel injection with quad 40mm throttle bodies in addition to a digital CD ignition module, an electric starter, and a four-into-two-into-one exhaust system with an upswept muffler. The bike has not been started or ridden.
The bike is equipped with a six-speed transmission and a drive chain.

It depends, this bike was in a climate controlled environment but if I was going to ride it I’d change all the fluids and the tires just due to age. It is 21 years old.

I can see this being worth quite a bit, the local stealership by me was charging $13,000 for a 2016 R6 with 14,000 miles on it. This is practically the same bike with 0 miles in perfect condition. Question for the seller, when the bike is like this, brand new, is there anything that CAN age over the years? Seals or maybe fluids in the brake lines?

I love comments like dose the AC work and when the oil was changed, how many miles on it??? So obtuse 🤔😱 very funny.

Nuri stepped up to the plate large. Not a tire kicker. I have no idea of its value but we are about to find out.

Curious why the dealer never sold this bike and let it sit in a crate for 20 years?

Amazing!

Incredible. If I was very wealthy I’d buy this just for the nostalgia of it. Can I ask, why keep it in a crate its whole life? And do you (or the original owner) have other gems like this?
