R6 136bhp
We have used our calculators and compared the 2005 R6 with the 2006 R6. The current R6 makes 120bhp @ 13.000 rpms and an additional 6 bhp with ram-air after Yamaha's own calculations. With the new shorter stroke and engine and exhaust technology advances our sources tells us the redline is at 17.500 rpms. The current redline is 16.000 rpms and compression ratio 12.4:1. The new R6 has got more compression and the ratio is 12.8:1. Maths is not our strongest side, but we reckon the new engine puts out max horsepower at 14.500 rpms. We believe the number to be 130bhp and if we add the direct air induction it should make 136bhp. Those are pretty impressive numbers, but here at Raptors & Rockets we are more impressed with that lovely new exhaust solution both Yamaha and Suzuki has chosen for their new high tech 600's. It makes sense to get rid of the bread box and replace it with something less intrusive. Not to mention what it has done for mass centralisation, aerodynamics and weight reduction. We have placed our bets on a dry weight of 159 kg for both the R6 and GSX-R600. The innovation does not stop with just lighter chassis and more power. The new R6 has got fly-by-wire* electronic throttle. Yamaha calls the system YCC-T. Read more about fly-by-wire below. The only reason you would want fly-by-wire on a motorcycle is basically traction control. TS
