Avantages et inconvénients en comparaison
Yamaha R1 2016

La fusée high-tech de Yamaha est toujours à la pointe de la technologie en 2016. Radicale, polarisante et fascinante, elle réalise de puissants temps au tour. Elle est plus proche des motos de course que les autres 1000. Entre-temps, personne ne se plaint de l'avant. Sans "M", elle est le meilleur choix pour ceux qui n'ont de toute façon pas besoin d'Öhlins ou le meilleur choix pour ceux qui prévoient de toute façon une transformation sur circuit et qui aiment monter du matériel Öhlins "normal", sans truc électrique.
Yamaha YZF-R6 2017

On a presque l'impression que la Yamaha YZF-R6 est née sur la piste de course. Il est facile de voir que la R6 est la petite sœur de la YZF-R1. Que ce soit le design, l'ergonomie, le freinage ou les aides électroniques, les gènes de la course sont partout ! La R6 est une excellente pièce d'ingénierie dans la catégorie des 600 cm3 et, selon les préférences de chacun, c'est probablement la meilleure 600 cm3 du moment - du moins pour la piste de course. La Yamaha offre au pilote une précision et un feedback incroyables sur la roue avant et le châssis, tout en étant très souple ! Le moteur est extrêmement poussif, mais il faut aussi le garder en forme. Dommage que la dernière version de la R6 ait dû perdre un peu de puissance en raison de l'Euro-4... Néanmoins, pour la plupart des pilotes, elle sera la moto de piste la plus rapide. Et si besoin est, un système d'échappement ouvert (sans homologation routière) et une cartographie permettent de tirer encore quelques chevaux de cette supersports. Un design pointu rencontre des composants encore plus pointus - TOP !
