Yamaha RD 350: 2 strokes revival? (2008-06-10)

Whilst being more vicious than the rest, it left the 143 horsepower 1998 Kawasaki ZX-9R for dead. Honda and Suzuki were nowhere near and got caught with their pants down. It took 3 full years for the others to catch up and only Suzuki managed to keep up with the all new GSX-R1000 in 2001. Without the R1 we wouldn't have had the big Gixxer so soon.

So Yamaha upped the ante and the others followed as the Japanese always do.

Therefore, we believe that Yamaha will launch an all new blazing R1 in 2008. Then most likely the biggest R6 update since 2006 in 2009 when the R6 turns 10. Good times for Yamaha right now, Vmax, R-series 10 years, Rossi is winning again and the Tenere have been relaunched.

Still, nothing will grab peoples imagination as much as the prospect of an all new R1. We believe that Yamaha will go for the big power again with all the technology available.

The 2009 R1 should boast of at least 190hp with an improved ram-air intake and larger air box. Being Yamaha, we can expect a higher rev ceiling and to keep noise levels down and improve mass centralisation a new exhaust should be in place.
We have gone for a little bit of R6, a little bit of R1 and a little bit of F1 in our 2009 R1 styling concept.
This could be Yamaha's M1 for the street competing with Ducati's Desmosedici for people's imaginations.

A flagship race bike for the roads. We shall soon see what Yamaha are up to when this autumns bike shows kick off in September.

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
