06 Yamahas ...

[Idiotboy]

...9:00 am pacific time on yamaha's website, 06 sportbike intro!
I just opened the "sneak preview"brochure, the yellow 50th aniv. bikes are BAD! R1's the same, but there's a yellow one, and a limited edition with Ohlins, Marchesini's and slipper clutch. Brandy new R6 and FZ1,and you can still buy the "old" R6. Cool stuff.

oh man, that R1 sounds like pure sex. i'm definitely checking that out.

Looks like I'm going blue next season!

Only 500 LE R1s -- will R7 get his deposit down in time?

[Paul_E_D]

The R6 is one of those designs I'm gonna hafta see in person. I can't tell how that split nose is gonna look. The pictures keep giving me a different impression.


The swingarm is pure sex though... and the R1 is a knockout.

[PinHead]

I want the red/white one!!!

let me guess, you like the gixxer pipe too. both those pipes are gross.

No information about motor or power band

That was the R1 problem

Nice to see quality bits $$$ but if the ain't didled with the power they ain't the street ride

[ChR1s]

'o6 R1 details

Basically, a friendlier frame, and better breathing head.

no the gixxer pipe is hideous. this one looks more moto gp. think of how cool the aftermarket stuff will be. short and loud

[taylor]

better not leave the r6 out in the rain with the stock pipe....looks like a nice big funnel...

[McBiggity]

why did they take the new R6 off the yamaha site?

[Nazo]

I wanna race one of those R6's so bad

[Awesome]

You can make enough selling the stock parts on E-bay to cover the cost of outfitting it for the race track.

Ha,Ha.....I already crunched the numbers and thought about that.
not the most economical bike for me next season, but DAM I bet it would shed a couple seconds no problem from my '99 F4
