Yamaha YZF description

The YZF R6 isn't a race replica, it's a racer, developed at racetracks, honed to perfection. For 2006, the R6 is light, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing. As a result is 1 of the most advanced motorcycles ever built by Yamaha. Is also the 1st production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system-for flawless response under all conditions.Straight frame concept: developed from the Yamaha M1 GP machine, the YZF-R6's steering head, swingarm pivot and rear axle all lie in a straight line-for unsurpassed handling-with an all-new inline 4 cyl engine designed for optimal layout and mass centralization.Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking - downshifting from high speed. Formula 1-style air management presents very small frontal area and excellent aerodynamics; new ram-air induction ducts cool, high-pressure air through the steering head for optimal combustion, more horsepower and enhanced engine cooling.The 1st R6 was 1st unveiled in 1999, and updated in 2001, 2003 and 2006. The R6 is a serious competitor for the Honda CBR600RR, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, Suzuki GSX-R600, and Triumph Daytona 675.For the 2006 model year, the R6 is capable of running at up to 17.500 rpm. This is with 2000 rpm higher than the previous model.The 2006 R6 is not only about pure performance, it is also about riding excitement, it's about that dialog of action and response between rider and bike, it's about feeling confident enough to constantly challenge yourself, on both road and track.Taking its styling cues from the Formula one car, featuring small winglets on the front of the fairing, the R6 makes use of more technology than any other 600 on the market.

Yamaha Pro Am madness, the best one make championship ever?

Sat, 18 Dec 2010

I’m biased of course, but the best one make road race championship has to be the Yamaha RD 350LC Pro Am series. Back in the days when manufacturers had spare cash (1980 to be precise), Mitsui Yamaha organised this televised championship at major British race meetings to promote the recently launched, and now iconic, Yamaha RD350LC. Twenty four riders (twelve established and twelve rookies) were chosen by a panel of experts then given a completely free season of racing with a very generous prize fund thrown in.

Rossi 'training' at his MotoRanch

Mon, 30 Jan 2012

Like Kenny Roberts, Valentino Rossi has got his own ranch where he has built his own private motocross track and dirt oval. The above YouTube video shows Rossi training on the flat-track circuit that makes up his 'MotoRanch' located near his home town of Tavullia. He's shown riding a Yamaha, but that's probably because Ducati don't have themselves a scrambler.
