That's because they lie about performance on their bikes. First post?

Hmmm up 6.7%?



17,500 minus 6.7% = 16,327



Coincidence?

How much will be left after CARB gets done sueing them for the noncompliant bikes. Of course if they went after industrial poluters they could just buy their way out with credits for having some old cars that aren't used crushed.

Ya - thats a good point. Yamaha has always been a leader in the industry but if you figure the CARB issue and the lie about the 6R - they are covering up losses.

Listen, all's you need to do to get 17,500 rpm is go to yamah-racing.com and order up the race kit black box—enough already. I attribute excellent sales to excellent advertising...

Some guys from Honda tried to ask Valentino Rossi what his redline is, but they couldn't get close enough to ask him.

What I thought was interesting is there stated intent to pick up another 2.1% of the overall motorcycle market. That's a lot, especially given significant new product from most of the competition this year. Hope they do it with price cuts!

thats right! honda stuck their foot in their mouth and lost the dr. and yamaha got him and what happened in less than a year? honda is larger than suzuki, yamaha, and kawasaki. they can buy the magazines and even announcers at races but when it comes down to the race its out of their hands and the bike speaks for itself.......
