Naked R1 leads new Yamaha line-up

A 143bhp R1 engine in a naked bike was enough to make the Fazer 1000 a hit with many. But Yamaha believes an FZ6-look with sportier handling and fuel-injected engine will do even better business.

It’s only one of six bikes on the way from Yamaha which you’ll find in MCN, out on Wednesday, April 28.

There’s also a twin-cylinder 100bhp Buell-a-like called the BT1700, news on long term updates for the R1, a BT660 stylish single, a new V-Max and a 2005 revision for the R6.
