Very good comments from Factory Yamaha test...

New R6 sounds nuts. Hacking can't believe it is being sold to the public

wow..

DiSalvo commented, "I rode the 1000 and the R6 back to back a few times and it then that you can really see how fast the 600 changes direction. Man, that 600 steers well. It steers better than any 250 I ever rode. It flicks side to side like a 125—it's almost scary when you flick it hard—you think that the front wheel is almost going to come off the ground. I can't believe that they sell the bike to the public—the FX bike with wheels brakes and just a Supersport motor in it—it feels like a Superbike."

I can't wait to get this bike!!!

Nor does anybody ever do that. But clearly, Honda riders claim Hondas are the best, and the same holds true for Suzuki and Yam riders... Why in the world do you think these factories spend such big bucks to go racing if not for the results and the riders' comments to reflect well on them?

Not true cause last year i did not hear such a comment form any Yamaha riders !!! ....
but on the other hand this year is different and truly is cause regardless what Yamaha riders says .. We all know and other factories as well that the bike to beat next year is the R6…..

P.S : did you hear any comment form Kawa riders or others about there bikes this year... beside the ZX10R ??

[BeachBoy]

oh, and I can't wait to see a mag make the actual test and see if it's true the R6 will have the fastest cornering speed of all bikes.

They should put all biek son the same tires, same day, same corner and take cornering speed.

Spies and Yates tested and commented on the new bikes last week (promising lap times), while honda is in closed testing sessions with Ohlins right now, I very much doubt any official comments or press release will be issued, since Showa is usualy their official suspention provider.
