For 2006, the swingarm was extended by 20 millimetres (0.79 in) to reduce acceleration instability. In this year, Yamaha also released a limited edition version in original Yamaha racing colors to celebrates its 50th anniversary. The model (LE/SP) featured a Kenny Roberts front and rear custom Öhlins suspension units developed by the same team as the YZR-M1 MotoGP bike. Custom forged aluminum Marchesini wheels specifically designed for the LE shaved nearly a pound off the unsprung weight. A back torque-limiting slipper clutch, and an integrated lap timer rounded out the package, making the LE virtually a production racer. Only 500 units were made for the United States with another 500 units for Europe.

2007 Yamaha YZF R6 Pictures,Review & Parts

The Yamaha YZF-R6 was introduced in 1999 as the super sport version of Yamaha's Yamaha YZF-R1 super bike, and as a companion to the more street-oriented Yamaha YZF600R sport bike which continued to be sold alongside the R6. The motorcycle featured Yamaha's completely new engine design capable of producing over 108 hp (81 kW) while stationary. The R6 was the world's first 600cc production four-stroke motorcycle producing over 100 hp (75 kW) in stock form.
The YZF-R6 has been revised several times since its introduction. Starting with the 2002 model, the R6 became fuel-injected. The 2006 model year was a significant upgrade with a new engine management system featuring the YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and a multi-plate slipper clutch. The 2008 model incorporated the YCC-I variable-length intake system to optimize power at high engine rpm and an improved Deltabox frame design.

In 2006, Yamaha advertised that the R6 had a redline of 17,500 rpm. This is 2,000 rpm higher than the previous R6 model and was the highest tachometer redline of any 2006 production four-stroke motorcycle engine.[citation needed] It was widely reported[by whom?] that the 2006 YZF-R6's motor did not actually have this engine rpm redline level and was closer to around 16,200 rpm, but because of a deliberate tachometer error of about 8%, it read 17,500 rpm on the tachometer. In February 2006, Yamaha admitted the bike's true engine redline was more than 1,000 rpm lower than displayed on the tachometer, and previously advertised,[21] and offered to buy back any R6 if the customer was unhappy.

2007 Yamaha YZF-R6 Review And Pictures

Unless you were marching with the penguins in Antarctica last year, you're probably well aware of the hubbub surrounding the introduction of the landmark R6. This is a bike that set everyone back on their heels when the latest edition debuted last year, whether it was because of the mysterious 17,500-rpm redline or its drop-dead gorgeous looks. 

Well, its redline proved to be about 1500 revs optimistic, which caused a bit of a PR kafuffle for Yamaha. But that didn't stop hordes from laying down their cash for the bad-ass little screamer, one of the most striking sportbike designs to ever come out of Japan. It's modular yet flowing, racy but artful, sharp yet sleek. 

"The Yamaha is one sick looking ride," raves Kenny about our favorite design of the pack. "The angular styling is growing on me - every angle of the R6 is tasty-tasty." 

While the whole of the R6's shape is undoubtedly cool, it's backed up by meticulous attention to detail. This machine is put together with parts that beg to be pored over, and there are several trick bits that help justify the $9,399 MSRP of our sweet Candy Red R6 (the Team Yamaha Blue version lists for $100 less). 

Take a look at the its clip-on brackets that are machined from billet aluminum, as are the trick chain adjuster plates that BC notes are similar to those found on Yamaha's TZ racers. While the others in the group wear steel kickstands, the R6 gets a lavish forged aluminum one. And, although the floating rear turnsignals and license plate bracket is stylistically controversial, at least it is supported by a handsome aluminum bracket - and it can be taken off in minutes, good for racers or trackday junkies, as well as street riders who can quickly fit a fender eliminator kit. Sculpted engine covers and smooth aluminum frame castings complete the high-end look.

The R6 rider is greeted by a wide front fairing that seems incongruent with the acutely narrow tank section that allows a rider's legs to fit in tightly. Opinions about the bike's ergonomics depend on who you ask and where they're riding. For our ringer Roberti, who rode with us only at the track, he says "I love the riding position of this bike." For the six-foot Chamberlain, he says the ergos are his favorite for track use but less so on the street. 

Shorter people, or perhaps those snarled in stop-and-go traffic, will grow to dislike the tall 33.4-inch seat height and a saddle that is broad but not plush. That commuter rider will also likely not enjoy a clutch that engages at the end of its travel, the pegs that are fairly rear-set or the low windscreen that offers minimal wind protection. Haldane notes that its instruments are probably the prettiest of the bunch "but still lacking the fuel gauge I really appreciate when riding on the street." 

But the R6 isn't really about catering to commuters or newbies. It's about being a supreme sporting machine - rationality be damned! If you're lucky enough to be Shawn Roberti, you're not only one fast mo-fo, you also have an R6 in the garage solely as your track bike. 

"Its chassis is definitely the most neutral and raciest of the bunch," says the 40-something bullet. "It gives you a great feel for both the front and rear of the bike." 

With the widest bars offering strong leverage, the R6 takes the least energy when making steering transitions despite having chassis geometry similar to the Gixxer. The biggest difference is the Yamaha has a wheelbase shorter by nearly a half inch. 

"It's extremely flickable yet stable in the corners," offers Chamberlain. "Both the front and rear provide excellent feedback and inspire confidence." 

"The Yamaha is a track weapon," adjoins Hutch, "so it shouldn't be a surprise it was the easiest to carve up the Streets of Willow aboard it. Its light and thin design makes it really easy to maneuver on tight layouts like this." 

The R6 reliably scampers around a racetrack, feeling at home in a place where you can let this bird scream. Just like last year, low-end power isn't the Yammie's forte. Neither is the midrange. But top-end steam, now we're talkin'. The R6 may wait the longest to make its power, but when it does it hits hard. It feels like the biggest top-end punch, which is a sensation probably encouraged by the dearth of power below 10,000 rpm.

2012 Triumph Thruxton Pictures & Review

The 865cc parallel-twin Thruxton Special Edition, named after the British racetrack where Triumph enjoyed enormous success in the 1960s, debuts a stunning red frame and Crystal White bodywork with red stripe. The bike also comes with a colour-matched factory fitted fly screen and blacked out engine cases.
Combining modern engineering with a retro sports look, the Thruxton has long been a popular choice among motorcyclists wishing to experiment with custom paint and the factory special edition introduces two premium colours to the Triumph range for the first time.
Crystal White is a brand new color for Triumph, containing a high metallic content to create a luxurious paint finish while the red powdercoated frame is also a first time feature.
Production of the new Triumph Thruxton Special Edition begins in early 2012. Prices are still to be confirmed but the SE model will come at a small premium over the standard Thruxton.

Triumph is introducing a special edition of its café racer-styled Thruxton, giving a sporty new look to a classic British design.
Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer. When the Triumph Engineering Co Ltd went into receivership in 1983, John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights from the Official Receiver.The new company (initially Bonneville Coventry Ltd) continued Triumph's record of motorcycle production since 1902, making it the world's oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer after Royal Enfield.

Suzuki B-King 2012 News and Pictures Review

 Meet the Hayabusa's first cousin -the all-new B-King.
And while the Hayabusa is a sleek sophisticated, the B-King is its rowdy alter ego. Its aggressive styling gives it an attitude that simply says, Don't mess with me!
Featuring a slightly modified version of the 2008 Hayabusa's new engine, complemented by state-of-the-art chassis and suspension systems, the B-King offers incredible all-around capabilities - breathtaking acceleration matched by precise, responsive handling.

 The performance differences between the two bikes are minimal. The B-King has its own valve dimensions to produce smooth, extraordinarily strong low-end power. And it has some unique chassis components, such as its finely crafted swing arm.
The real difference, though, is styling. The B-King's imposing engine is out there for all the world to see. One look at its twin exhaust pipes is enough to know that it has the power to reward you with a one-of-a-kind sport riding experience.
The engine is straight from the new Hayabusa and nowhere in the specifications or features do we read the dreaded "tuned for mid range power," it's the Hayabusa engine in the B-King chassis. There is, however, the S-DMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector), that allows the rider to choose from two different engine settings depending on riding conditions or rider preferences, perhaps the rider can choose mid range power if he wants it.

Suspension
Compliant and reasonably well balanced under your average 165-pounder, the nicely adjustable Kayaba fork and shock are a bit too soft for bigger boys who like to go fast in the twisty bits. The steering damper belongs on somebody's patio door.
Frame
The B-King's frame is die-cast using the same technology as the latest GSX-Rs, varying wall thickness for optimal rigidity. A longer swingarm stretches the wheelbase 1.5 inches beyond a 'Busa's, yet the 'King is still 7 inches shorter than Mr. Max.
Brakes
Though they generate impressive bite and feedback with nominal effort under normal riding, the 'King's radial-mount four-pot calipers make you squeeze hard after a few high-speed stops. Those 310mm floating rotors came straight from the Hayabusa parts bin. ABS is a $600 option.
