News, 07/11/04

In the build up of the final round of the MotoGP World Championship, held last week in Valencia, Valentino Rossi swapped bikes to test a very special version of the new Yamaha YZR-R6.

Back in September, Yamaha unveiled its new YZR-R6 at the Intermot Motorshow in Munich, Germany. Joining the new-generation R6 for 2005 is an exclusive new limited edition version featuring radical colours and eye-catching graphics.

This unique new bodywork design was developed in close association with Rossi, who joined the factory’s MotoGP effort this year and brought them their first World Championship in 12 years. Yamaha asked Valentino to sit with his design team and develop a colour scheme with a completely free mind.

The result of his study is a radical yellow and black design featuring the white ‘speed blocks’ featured on Yamaha’s race bikes in the early 80’s. Also incorporated within the overall image are a number of his ‘personal’ styling icons such as the sun (on the bright yellow side), the moon (on the serious dark side) and his famous number 46.

Yamaha will produce a limited series of 500 numbered YZR-R46. They will be available from Yamaha dealers in early April ’05.

Hmmmm.... R6 model 2004 tapi, ya.......
Padahal yang 2005 udah ada underseat exhausts.

Sorry koreksi dikit.
R6 versi 2005 juga masih knalpot samping, mungkin maksudnya bung Crash adalah Yam R1 dgn underseat exhaust seperti CBR600RR.

OOps.....

Salahnya gw. Bener, R6 05 masih side exhaust. Yang underseat itu R1, dan dulu juga pernah artists conception R6.

Perbedaan paling keliatan lainnya buat R6 itu adalah upside down forknya, ya. hehehehe.

Tapi, warnanya kok menurut gw rada norak gitu, ya? I mean, lebih ke helmnya gitu jadinya.

Warna graphicnya memang keliatan terlalu "maksa" banget tuh. Nggak di design dengan baik sih, cuma untuk ngejar 'dead line' akhir tahun 2004 kali ?
Masa edisi Valentino Rossi, tapi graphic-nya seperti ditempel sticker "Sun & Moon" aja.....kalah dong sama CBR1000RR dengan graphic team HRC Repsol-nya. Harusnya Yamaha dengan graphic Gauloises-nya dong..... malu deh ahhhhh....

Sebenarnya Bisa aja Yamaha Pakai Sponsor Goul...nya tapi itu kan iklan rokok, dan di beberapa negara Eropa hal tersebut dilarang bung Gauss
