<U>New for the 2008 R6:</U>

YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, introduced in 2007 on the R1, is now used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband. On the higher-revving R6, its benefits are even more pronounced.

Over 50 friction-reducing strategies have been employed inside the engine, including the use of wider crank bearings.

Upgraded fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T dual-injector system complements the higher compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking.

A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralization.

All-new frame takes handling to the next level, allowing more precise turn-in, greater corner speed, and tighter exits. Thicker headpipe-headstock and swingarm pivot area walls, and elimination of the frame crossmember, help achieve perfect balance.

New swingarm has internal ribs added, and extruded section is now forged to work with the new frame.

Revised outer fork tubes, a new lower triple clamp, and increased fork offset provide highly tactile front-end feedback.

Moving the rider and bars forward and slightly lower enhances braking and turn-in performance. Clip-ons are also lower and re-angled.

Front discs are 310 x 5mm instead of 4.5mm for increased cooling qualities.
Increased fork height adjustability and rear ride-height adjustment range accommodate a greater range of riders and tires.

Revised bodywork results in even greater aerodynamic efficiency.

I didn't look at the R6... the silver is nice, yellow flame is wicked gay. but a good change.

Graphite to black is not a change in my eyes... you can't tell the difference really, unless you see them all the time. Minor color changes.

That's because tew-fiddyZ are teh LAMEZ everyone knows you need at least 2.4L to have a good time on a bike.

Like marcio for example, he's dead set on getting an arr1 an "no one can convince him otherwise"
