[R6 Dennis] R6 2006 (next generation....)

[Allroadtoad]

Ben ik nou de enige die dat hele kentekenplaat/achterlichtgebeuren lelijk eruit ziet vinden? Verders een mooie motor maar je zou `m ongekentekend moeten kopen en op het circuit gebruiken, dan is ie het mooist imho.

Chassis
Taking chassis performance to a new level
With its lightweight Deltabox frame, long truss-type swinging arm, 52.5% front wheel weight bias, high quality suspension and aggressive mass-forward styling, the third generation R6 was far ahead of its time when it was launched for the 2006 season. The press and public agreed that this truly was a remarkable motorcycle, and the current model R6 is still regarded by many as the ultimate expression of extreme riding excitement.

In the same way that our designers have optimised the engine performance by enhancing individual aspects of the original design, so too has the level of chassis performance been raised by making a series of subtle but influential improvements to a wide range of components.

For 2008 our development team have succeeded in elevating the chassis performance to an even higher level with a range of improvements that are designed to deliver razor-sharp handling performance. As a result the 2008 R6 responds instantly and precisely to every steering input, allowing the rider to stick accurately to a chosen line, or to make an instant change at will to suit the conditions. Indeed, to ride the latest R6 is to experience the most impressive levels of braking and cornering performance imaginable from a street-legal machine.

Newly-designed Deltabox frame
The goal for our designers for 2008 was clear: to create a chassis that would offer a whole new level of handling performance to complement the new YCC-I equipped engine.

In order to achieve this, the R6 development team completely re-configured the existing frame’s subtle balance of rigidity by making extremely small changes to the wall thickness on the twin spars, particularly around the knee-grip area. At the same time the wall thickness of the head pipe has been increased for higher levels of rigidity, while the cross-member between the left and right sides of the Deltabox frame is removed for 2008 – as with the 2007 model R1.

These detail changes – which are virtually impossible to detect from a visual inspection of the exterior – are designed to enhance the rigidity balance between the head pipe and pivot, while also delivering slightly higher levels of lateral flex.

The new frame’s revised balance of rigidity and strength has the effect of achieving better handling performance and more precise feel in fast turns, allowing the rider to accelerate harder after clipping the apex.

Revised fork settings and new lower triple clamp
In order to complement the revised handling characteristics of the new Deltabox frame, the fully-adjustable 41mm upside-down forks are equipped with new outer tubes whose rigidity balance has also been altered.

The rigidity balance of the lower aluminium triple clamp has also been adjusted to match the new fork outer tubes and frame. This has been achieved by increasing the width of the fork clamps and redesigning the ribs on the underside of the clamp – and at the same time, fork offset has been increased.

The positive effect of these small but important changes to the front end is to give the front tyre an even more ‘planted’ feel during braking and cornering for increased stability, and to enable the rider to feel even more accurate feedback.

Ultra-light magnesium subframe
The 2008 R6 is equipped with a lightweight magnesium alloy subframe – the first time this material has ever been used for this purpose on a Yamaha motorcycle. Magnesium has an outstanding weight-to-strength ratio, and by saving 450g, this new subframe not only makes an important contribution to reducing overall weight, but also helps to achieve a greater concentration of mass which enhances overall handling qualities.

Modified truss-type swinging arm
One of the significant features which makes an important contribution to the R6’s remarkable handling agility and stability is its long truss-type swinging arm which pivots close to the bike’s midway point for reduced squat during acceleration.

As with the new frame and modified forks, the rigidity balance of this advanced swinging arm has been fine-tuned for 2008 by the addition of ribs inside the rear cast portion – while the end sections have been changed from extruded to forged aluminium.

Increased front disc brake thickness
For 2008 the thickness of the dual 310mm diameter front discs has been increased from 4.5mm to 5.0mm, a change which not only improves the heat dissipation qualities during extended use, but also optimises the gyroscopic moment of the front wheel assembly to give a more ‘planted’ feel to the front tyre.

Lighter rear suspension
To help minimise weight, the rear suspension system’s 2-way compression damping adjuster is mounted on a new lightweight bracket similar to that used on the latest R1.

New riding position
The R6 features a front wheel weight bias of 52.5%, and to optimise the potential chassis performance our design team have adjusted the riding position to give an even greater overall front end weight bias with the rider on board. The hip position is moved forward by 5mm, and the handlebars are 5mm further forward and 5mm lower, while the angle and drop of the bars is also revised.

These changes give the R6 rider a closer and more connected relationship with the bike’s front end, allowing them to interpret more accurately the feedback from the surface. This allows riders to select and hold the desired line through a curve for quicker and more accurate cornering, which gives a more exciting and satisfying riding experience.

Minimalist mass-forward bodywork
The third generation R6 broke new ground with its aggressive, cut-down bodywork which gave the impression of a powerful creature waiting to pounce on its prey. Whilst maintaining the essence of the current bike’s special character, the radical new 2008 R6 bodywork design takes this concept to the extreme.

The upward bounding motion created by the strong single line running between the rear axle, through the pivot point, and on up to the head pipe is maintained. For ’08 the upper edges of the sidepanels and the top of the fuel tank have been redesigned to accentuate the mass-forward appearance and focus attention on the front end.

The dynamic front cowl is also new, and gives an even more slippery and more aerodynamic look, and is complemented by a new super-slim 4-piece tail cowling. And for reduced drag – and to facilitate removal for track day use – the mirror mounts are relocated from the actual front cowl surface to the cowl brackets.

Wat  ?????

Stond eerst geen plaatje maaruh istie zo bijzonder dan kvind die van mij mooier

[Tinus]

is die van 2006 zo bijzonder dan?

Ben ik nou de enige die dat hele kentekenplaat/achterlichtgebeuren lelijk eruit ziet vinden?

Helaas is dat bij veel fietsen meer dan waar. Ik ben al jaloers op de franse kentekens, mooie smalle kleine plaatjes voor die motors.

[r6-dennis]

Nieuwe fiets Dennis???

Kvind die zwarte onderkuip nie zo mooi.... goude velgen daarintegen weer wel

[Tinus]

nu nog een gouden ketting 

[r6-dennis]

nu nog een gouden ketting 

  nieuw ketting setje

[Tinus]

Ja, dan kan je gelijk je tandwiel verhouding aanpassen.


Echter, wij rijden nooit zo veel kilometers met deze fietsen waardoor de ketting en tandwielen versleten zijn. Dan zijn ze al lang en breed weer ingeruild

  tja als de rest van de plannen doorgaat rij ik hier misschien wel wat langer op.... of niet

[Tinus]

 

En gij gelooft dat?? Wacht nu maar eens 2009 af 

[r6-dennis]

En gij gelooft dat?? Wacht nu maar eens 2009 af 

uuhuh en dan komt het grote schip met geld

[Loki]

Ik heb even de vrijheid genomen het, vrij technische, verhaal voor iedereen even wat in te korten..

-Lichter
-Sneller
-Saaier
-Duurder
-Nieuwe kleurstellingen conform de nieuwste aktiefiguren

 

Al die snelle jongens die zo'n fiets kopen nemen de tijd toch niet om dat hele verhaal te lezen, daar zijn ze immers te snel voor. Dus voor wie Yamaha nu al die moeite neemt is me een raadsel

[modkid]

Ik vind die nieuwe R6 er wel gers uit zien ! 

[V-Strom Pierrio]

Ik vind die kenteken taartschep ook niet mooi, ze kunnen het achterlicht en de knippers toch wel wat mooier inbouwen in het kontje.
Moet wij als beunhaas nu alles zelf verzinnen. 
De meeste kopers hakken die taartschep er toch af zo gauw die in het schuurtje staat. Volgens mij doen ze dit alleen zodat ze weer geld uit je knip kunnen trekken met aftermarket spulletjes.

[Sjees]

Ik kan er niks aan doen, maar als je die motor zo aan de zijkant op die foto ziet, vind ik het net echt zo een brommer..
De brommers gaan steeds meer op motoren lijken, maar dees lijkt wel erg veel op zo een brommer..

[Loki]

Ik begijp niet wat je bedoelt Sjeeske
