Yamaha have launched a host of new models for 2009 all of which they are currently displaying at this years
Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.
These include the awesome new Yamaha VMAX. Yamaha have used this bike to showcase it's cutting-edge engine and chassis technology from the YCC-I and YCC-T engine control systems, plus the aluminium frame and the radial-mounted 6-piston front brakes, all providing 200 PS* and 167 Nm of torque.
All I know is it looks fantastic!
From radical to more conventional, Yamaha have relaunched their tried and trusted Diversion as the new Yamaha XJ6 Diversion. The bike has a new lightweight front cowl and a new look and a newly developed 600cc engine. The new model is also offered with ABS as an option.
From mid range to top range, Yamaha have again massively revised their top Sports bike the legendary R1. The new 2009 Yamaha YZF-R1 has the most significant development in engine and chassis technology. With an all new 998cc engine influenced the championship winning M1. The bike now has a slipper clutch.
The new engine is housed in a newly designed aluminium Deltabox frame.
Again I just think the new black and gold colour option is just stunning.
For those of you who prefer cruisers, Yamaha have launched an all new Yamaha XVS950A Midnight Star with a newly-designed 942cc high-torque air-cooled V-twin SOHC engine.
For those of an off-road persuasion there is the new Yamaha WR125X and WR125R enduro and supermoto models.
.
Ride safe.
