So i'm crossing the street to clock out for lunch today and there is a huge 18 wheeler blocking about 1/3 of our parking lot with the rear door open. As I'm walking by I notice a huge crate with Yamaha on the side of it.
This Is what was under the cardboard.







I'll have, better, pics on monday when we take it out of the crate and get it ready for break in. (yes we do break in every bike if its new) It will be broke in on our dyno, and as soon as we have it broke in I'll post up some base lines. So you can see what these things look like off the shelf stock. Enjoy,

PS for those who are unaware I work at D&D

 

Sweet! Try revving that **** to 17.5k.

 

Bad A.

They look so much better in person IMO

Too bad it doesnt actually rev that high

 

yea, too bad it only revs to 16.2 from the factory and makes 20 less hp in the midrange compared to the previous R6

 

quick q. what method do you guys break in the bikes?

I've been staring at the dyno runs and if you line up the red lines of the '06 w/the other bikes, which is in all actuality, is the usuable rev limit that's available to the rider.. you get this.


Blue - '06 R6
Red - '05 R6
Gray - '06 R6 matched rev limit against '05


Blue - '06 R6
Red - '05 GSXR600
Gray - '06 R6 matched rev limit against '05 Suzuki

I figure that during a race, both bikes are gonna be kept up in the upper regions of their rev range so we should compare those. Maybe I'm wrong.. I unno.

i think my theory of aligning rev limits is a better comparison.

This is true, but you're gonna work the bike in the 11k-16k power range. Thats 5000rpms of power band, thats awesome! The bikes tranny is geared to keep the bike in the happy zone all the time. The bike is making over 90whp that entire time. Thats a really awesome sweet spot IMO.

wish we got toys like that where i work.
