Top five products for the 2009 Yamaha R6

Double-bubble screen (£82.99

Direct the worst of air turbulence over your head when in a tank-hugging racing crouch. Or straight at your head if you’re not really on it.

Carbon mudguard (£157.99)

There’s a time and a place for colour-matched plastics. 2009 and on the front mudguard are neither, so give your R6 the edge with a splash of high-pressurised racing carbon.

Carbon rear hugger (£143.99)

We’ve not seen a cooler-looking hugger. Look at it – it even has race-style cut-outs to optimise airflow.

Seat cowl (£136.99)

Sharpen up the looks, eliminate any provision for a passenger. Sounds like a plan to us.

Crash bobbins (£113.99)

Anodized alloy brackets and nylon bungs should prevent untold damage to your R6 in the event of topplage. Price is a bit salty, though.
