Re: New Yamaha R6?
The bike is 190kg (wet) but there’s no power figure for it yet. It also gets M1 styling, 6-level Traction Control, Quick Shifter, D-Mode, 43m R1 forks with radial mount callipers and 320mm discs, plus full Euro 4 compliance and ABS braking.

Re: New Yamaha R6?
D-Mode is "throttle opening sensitivity" or something like that.....it's "Drive-mode", I think.....?
It might be called something else over here.....there's some other acronym for it if memory serves (and this month's magazines are correct...).

Re: New Yamaha R6?

D-Modes are power modes - affects power output and throttle response .

Re: New Yamaha R6?
Want to do a back to back comparison? We both test ride it and concur on our opinions?
I'm just saying this to help a brother out - wouldn't want you buying the wrong bike after all
I would not gain from this in the slightest!!

Re: New Yamaha R6?
That seems like a good idea.
No too sure about the holes in the rear seat area. Looks ok but could be a pain to keep clean.
