Yamaha FZ6R

The 600cc four-cylinder powered FZ6R looks to be a nice way for novice, or nearly novice, riders to break into sport bikes, with user friendly features like lower seat and handlebar height as well as improved wind protection from the full fairing. Yamaha has also tuned the engine and transmission to be responsive, while still being easier to modulate for newer riders. But perhaps the biggest attraction of the FZ6R for the uninitiated is the price, starting just below $7000 the new Yamaha should be a good candidate for affordable thrills to a wide swath of the population.

Yamaha YZF-R1

Over ten years R1 passed some serious modernization, not counting the almost annual restyling. The latter refers to a radical change in 2004 and in 2006. Yamaha limited with additional «burning fat» and a small increase in horse stock (of three powerful forces - 175 hp). Engine was slightly tilted forward to 40 ° from the vertical. Because of the increasing inclination of the drive unit Deltabox frame pass from the steering column directly to the place of mounting the box on the cylinder head rather than around the block. As a result, the frame narrowed in the place of pilot’s seat. In addition, she now weighs less and is more rigid. By racing standards, the geometry of the chassis is quite conservative, but it is understandable that with minimal modification of the motorcycle turning improved.

Yamaha Tesseract Concept Bike

This is a hybrid 4-wheeled vehicle powered by a combination of a liquid-cooled V-twin gasoline engine and an electric motor. It is also designed with a unique dual-scythe suspension that enables cornering with a lean (banking) like a motorcycle despite the 4-wheel format. There is also a dual arm-lock system that keeps the machine upright when at rest without a stand. With a machine width roughly equivalent to that of a 2-wheeler for great maneuverability and space saving, while offering excellent stability, the environmental performance of a hybrid and more, this is a model that Yamaha will continue to conduct research and development on as a revolutionary “premium vehicle” for the future.

Yamaha Tesseratec Concept Features:

Length/Width/Height=2,115/720/1,065mm
Power unit=Liquid-cooled engine and electric motor
Cylinder arrangement=V-twin 2-cylinder
Fuel supply system=Electronic fuel injection
