+1
and it costs about the same as a liter class bike.

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

haha ya 140hp - are these

what is the measurement of a HORSE POWER - i think a few of these people are using incorrect wattage for a HP in their measurements.

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

No, they calculate their "press release" horsepower with the mathematical maximum theoretical horsepower. Ignition pressure, piston surface areas..crank radius..torque..etc. There was no dyno that spit out a 140hp ticket for that bike. I say 129/crank, 117/118 rwhp.

Really bugs me how the bikes of previous years are instantly forgotten when the new model year comes around. I know it is the point to hype up the new bikes, because Yami, Suzi, Honda, and Kawi PAY these magazines to hype their shit, but it isn't cool to do that.

Now...17,500rpm..holy shit.

PS - Notice how it says the Special Edition R1 is 175-hp? I thought it was 180+ a year or so ago? The bike is unchanged for this year..hmmmm....

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

i dont like the look of the r6 exhaust, but i do like the new gsxr 6/7 exhaust and how it molds in. you dont have to worry about a different bracket if you want to take off the rear pegs.

I am going to guess that is a business address....

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

I wouldnt' even say that much. When the R1 came out brand new in 04 I think we all saw that they were claiming 180-hp. If real life it was doing about 30hp less than that.

I'll say the new R6 will make about 5 more hp than it did last year, give or take.

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

If you value your girlie, vette, bike... you might consider removing your name and address from that image, presuming that's your real data. Can't be too careful, as they say.

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

Have you seen on the Yamaha website that there is two r6 for 2006 the new model and last years model sold as a 2006

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

And I took his vette

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

I'M calling

on those number's. I love all the hype that goes with these bikes every year it's the same old stuff. And every year it's a let down for some sorry bastard that goes off the magazines BS.

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

It's incredible how the manufacturer's can get everything right except the rear fender. Not that that would stop me from buying a new GSX-R!

That's some pretty good concentration and coordination skills.....banging his girl AND typing that post. Must not be very good............

 

Re: Yamaha Is Going To Have A Hell Of A Year With The R1 & R

Multi-tasking............ ever heard of it??? It's not all that tough for people with a higher IQ than a third grader. So I guess you have never done it.
