Yamaha R15

The Yamaha R15 in a brand new avatar was seen coming for quite some time now with spy shots of the motorcycle surfacing as early as late last year. But Yamaha India remains as tight lipped as ever with a terse, “we have no plans of launching the new R15″ being the standard reply to emails to their customer care department. In what appears to be the clearest images yet, the new Yamaha R15 has been scooped by a BikeAdvice reader, from what looks like a Yamaha production facility. 

Replete with new headlamps and tail lamps, with a raised rear like it’s elder brother, the legendary Yamaha R1, the new Yamaha R15 looks very sharp indeed. Some speculations put the power figure from the 150cc, four valve, DOHC liquid cooled engine to be 22 PS, which for now must be taken with a fistful of salt as there exists no confirmation for the bumped up power figure. The latest set of images definitely seem to indicate an R15 instead of the R15, due to the change in exhaust muffler and position of the front disc brake.

Spies to move to Monster Tech 3 Yamaha MotoGP in 2010

Texan to join fellow Lone Star Statesman Colin Edwards at Monster Tech 3 Yamaha team


In what was a wild-rumored but still somewhat expected considering the ambiguity of previous announcements when the company revealed that current World Superbike rider Ben Spies has signed for two more years, Yamaha announced today that Spies will actually move directly to MotoGP next year , instead of living in the World Superbike series for one year before making the move to the Premier class in 2011. Spies will be joined by fellow Texan Colin Edwards of Tech 3 Yamaha Monster team, replacing former World Superbike champion James Toseland, who will take Spies' place in the squad WSBK Yamaha. The spies' old crew chief Tom Houseworth and mechanic Greg Wood will also make a move together with Spies to MotoGP.

"I want to thank Yamaha globally because of their faith in me," said Spies. "They've treated me like a king! Yamaha recently allowed me to rethink my contract for 2010-2011; I sign for the WSB for 2010, but after I started thinking about Indy competition and my age versus waiting until 2011. This is not an easy decision, Yamaha World Superbike team and crew has been especially Massimo Meregalli was fantastic and very pleasant to be included in one season together. I hope that I can give May, Laurens Klein Koerkamp and others to remember the championship this year with me. Thank I love also extends to the 'Infront', promoters of WSB series, especially Paolo Ciabatti. I've enjoyed the series and this first year racing in Europe. Now I have two challenges, to finish this year provides the best and to move toward goal - new goals in MotoGP. Herve Poncharal at Tech 3 is to show support by allowing me to come on board with my crew chief Tom Houseworth and Gregory Wood, my mechanic, who have both been with me since the AMA today. We will have a learning curve to overcome next year but I woke up to a new purpose. I hope to have a good year and my goal is to try and stay on top of 6-8, considering the talented line up, will be difficult. With the world upside down, there is one constant for me and that's Yamaha. "

Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing, will see Spies' move as a preventive measure for the year 2011, when the second contract Fiat Yamaha rider Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo ended. "Following the announcement of Ben's two-year deal with Yamaha one month ago, he has re-elect him and decided that he wanted to move to MotoGP sooner rather than later," said Jarvis. "Yamaha has considered the request and with Tech 3, we can find a way to make it happen. Ben has done a fantastic job in rookie season in World Superbike and now we are very excited to welcome him to the GP program faster than we expected originally . We believe that Ben would be a quick study next season and a strong future championship competitors. We look forward to working with him in the years to come. "

Toseland's moved back to the World Superbike has been estimated, as a result has been sub-par for the two British riders in the MotoGP season. Meanwhile, the current team Edwards has consistently out-performing him, with a much publicized spat between the two because of Toseland's "poaching" Edwards' former crew chief this year and increase the American motivation in the team's increasing tension. With Spies take place, it would bet that the wall separating the two Monster Tech 3 Yamaha rider (as well as the factory Fiat Yamaha team) will be taken down.

2009 - Yamaha FZ6R

Key Features:

• A rider in the market for an entry level or commuter 600cc bike doesn’t have to compromise performance or style to get value. The FZ6R is a great combination of performance, handling, and exciting sport bike style, but also with a low seat height that’s both adjustable to fit a wider variety of riders and also narrower where it counts to make it even easier to put both feet on the ground.
• The engine delivers smooth power just the way today’s rider needs it, brisk acceleration with plenty of torque that makes it a pleasure to get around town, with lots in reserve for when you want more. This is certainly not a “no frills” motor. It’s derived from the FZ6 motor, fuel injected and tuned for outstanding low to mid engine performance.
• Even if your primary goal is commuting to school or work, you want to be able to get out and have fun riding some twisty back roads.
  The FZ6R is ready to put a grin on your face! The diamond-shaped frame, made of high-tensile steel pipes using the engine as a structural member of the chassis, becomes the foundation for handling performance. It’s designed to provide the right rigidity balance to contribute to smooth cornering performance.
• When it comes to putting power to the pavement, the new FZ6R uses nothing less than quality radial tires, 120/70R 17-inch front and 160/60R 17-inch rear. And this bike’s excellent stopping performance is due to dual 298mm front discs and a 245mm rear disc, both with comfortable to use controls.
  

Engine:

• The fuel-injected engine in the FZ6R has been designed to meet the demands of today’s motorcyclist. This engine optimizes the entire flow from the intake of the fuel-air mixture to combustion and exhaust. Even though it shares both bore and stroke dimensions with the FZ6, the cylinder head, crankcase, intake and exhaust system, as well as the clutch and shifter, were completely redesigned for the FZ6R, creating a power unit with an entirely different character.
• The 600cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke in-line 4-cylinder engine is ready to respond with smooth, linear performance when the rider twists the throttle. Maximum output is achieved at a spirited 10,000 rpm and maximum torque is obtained at 9000 rpm. Bottom line: Its outstanding “torquey” low to mid rpm engine performance is just right for someone who enjoys commuting to work or school or riding the canyons on the weekends.
• Lightweight forged aluminum pistons are used. Because the aluminum alloy is heated and formed under pressure without having to melt it completely as in conventional casting techniques, the strength of the original metallurgic matrix of the aluminum is maintained. As a result, a forged piston is stronger than a cast one and can thus be designed for lighter weight, which contributes to a reduction in vibration. In fact, many riders will be surprised at how smooth this motor is.
• The 32-bit ECU controls the four-hole, two-direction, high-dynamic-range type fuel injectors for superior injection control. By delivering the precise fuel-air mixture needed for conditions, the engine can deliver great power and fuel economy.
• Much like many of today’s high end sport bikes, the FZ6R has a 4-into-2-into-1 midship exhaust. Not only does it provide a throaty, yet comfortably quiet exhaust note, the system also includes 3-way catalytic converter technology to reduce exhaust emissions.
  

Chassis/Suspension:

• With its exciting sport bike looks, onlookers will know this isn’t just another middleweight bike. There’s no mistaking Yamaha’s high-performance heritage in the FZ6R.
• The seat has separate front and rear sections, and the rider’s seat features an innovative height adjustment mechanism. The seat can be set 20mm – just over 3/4 of an inch – higher for taller riders, a change that can make a big difference on an all-day ride.
• The handlebar position can be adjusted 20mm forward by rotating the handlebar clamps to fine-tune rider comfort.
• The overall chassis rigidity has been designed to provide both excellent handling and all-day comfort. In order to further enhance the smoothness and comfort of the ride, the front-end dimensions a have been optimized, including a caster angle of 26° and trail of 103.5mm, contributing a bike that has great steering feeling, making the bike even more of a pleasure to ride.
• The front suspension has sturdy 41mm inner tubes, matched to a die-cast aluminum upper triple clamp and forged-steel under bracket, providing superior cushioning performance and good front-end feel. Wheel travel is a generous 5.1 inches to help soak up those bumps in the road.
• The rear suspension is lightweight and contributes to the mass centralization, and the mono-cross suspension provides excellent wheel travel, a full 5.1 inches. Superior road hugging performance has been achieved with optimally designed damping-force valves and oil channels.
• This bike boasts hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. The 298mm diameter front discs are lightweight for reduced unsprung weight, while the single rear disc is 245mm, and the brakes feature semi-metallic pads. The brakes have been designed to offer great feel and superb braking ability.
• FZ6R mounts tubeless radial tires on cast aluminum wheels. While their lightweight construction helps centralize mass, they also help contribute to agile handling.
  

Additional Features:

• he meter panel gives the rider plenty of feedback, including a digital display speedometer, analog tachometer, odometer/ tripmeter, fuel gauge, and water coolant gauge.
