Average Insurance Group 15 depending on the YZF R6 model / modifications.
A beauty of a sports motorbike. It's economical, light and quick. A supreme super sports bike by Yamaha with a great top end package.
Yamaha have somehow improved the engine adding on clever bits and pieces such as the inlet valves and reduced the frame weight with a new magnesium alloy subframe (lighter by 450g than previous 2007 version).
The current mode also has a correct reading on the tachometer - previous versions were reporting 18000rpm when it was only 15000rpm in reality.
The stats below are for the 2008 > current date model.
At group 15, the R6 is a fabulous motorbike and wills you to test it to the limits (remember points don't mean prizes when talking about motorbike insurance!)
