guys no offense (i love the R15), but i just cannot bring myself to enjoy the exhaust note . Why does it sound like a leafblower?? . Maybe ive been spoiled by the exhuast note on my RTR

Do you own both the bikes right now? If yes, you can selectively use both of them. When you want to ride a good bike, ride R15. When you want to hear pleasnt sounds, lisen to RTR.

@ Archibaby- so basically a backstep is a better rearset+lever combo?

The wave disc looks cool, but how have they managed to get that in its stock caliper? The disc size looks bigger..... Were there bigger brackets? If yes, then it means new fork outer tubes!

EDIT: Ok, checked the video again, there seems to be a new mounting, with a longer bracket. So stock forks will do.....

Because it can blow leaves.

Don't think so man .. unless the power bump is reasonable they'll only be able to sell those rotors. There'll be a lot of ppl thronging to the showroom to have a look at the stuff but sales will be a different story. Similar to the accessories crap.

New red colour looked hot.



But i personally liked the metallic yellow.

the bike colors are part of yamaha new global 09 color on its r6 and r1
yamaha is mixing both eu & american colors for india ,blue in back is seen in r1 &r6 in usa
here is some pics of eu r6
