Somethin for Carlos
2006 Yamaha R1 RR
Yamaha M1 S or R1 RR that is the most likely name. Right now Yamaha is in Spain with their VIP dealers showing this and the rest of the 2006 range that will be launched in Paris in October. Since Raptors & Rockets first sniffed news about this bike the briefing planned for late September has been pushed forward and it takes place now as we speak. Maybe there will be something official from Yamaha by the end of this week (this article was updated 23/08/05). This is our estimates: -Price: at least 50-60.000 Euros (based on what Ducati demands for their V4 Desmocedici) -Weight: we estimate between 160-175kg depending on how much extra weight a street legal exhaust system and headlamps puts on the bike. -The radial brakes might not be the Brembo's on a final version, but they must outperform the current Summimoto's. -For such an asking price we expect carbon or other super lightweight material in the fairing. -The air intakes and the most powerful Yamaha in line four ever should easily achieve the 300 km/h (180mph) mark -The engine should get at least 185-190 Bhp or more and 990cc. -Expect less torque than a V4, but still more than all current 1 litre bikes. -Top of the range suspension. -Chassis virtually the same as Rossi's M1. -The most extreme in line four ever to have been made street legal. -Highly limited edition of only 50 bikes (based on it being made for Yamaha's 50th anniversary). The bike might get a name in the line of R1 RR, R9 or R1 SP when launched for the press in September. Words: Tor Sagen. Pic: Ioannis Ragias.
