My new dream - 2007 Yamaha YZF-R1

Yamaha just released the specs of their Flagship in sportbikes. This bike is light, its fast and will give you hours of insane fun. Wife might not agree, but this is a boys toy,of for the select few ladies that like their bikes fast and BIG, this is for you!

All-new, light, powerful and packaged with MotoGP technology, the YZF-Rr1 is the most advanced Open-class production motorcycle ever built with the world's first electronic variable-length intake funnel system.

Key Features:
  • All-new, light, powerful and packed with trickle-down MotoGP trickery, the YZF-R1 is the most advanced Open-class production motorcycle ever built.
  • All-new inline four-cylinder engine is the most powerful, tractable R1 powerplant ever, thanks partially to the world’s first electronic variable-length intake funnel system.
  • The YZF-R1 uses the YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle system for flawless response under all conditions.
  • Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
  • All-new aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm take Open-class handling to the next performance level.
  • New, six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers and 310mm discs generate the kind of braking power a bike like the new R1 requires.
Engine:
  • Short-stroke 998cc DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four- cylinder engine produces more tractable power than ever.
  • Yamaha Chip Control Throttle controls a 32-bit ECU fuel injection system for super-responsive, smooth, instantaneous power delivery.
  • Yamaha Chip Control Intake electronically adjusts intake funnel length between either 65 or 140mm for an amazingly broad, smooth powerband.
  • Two-piece ergonomically designed fuel tank carries fuel in the rear section, for good centralization of mass, while the front half contains a Ram-Air-fed airbox for increased power.
  • Lay-down design cylinder head optimizes weight distribution, straightens intake tracts for improved cylinder filling, and allows frame to pass over instead of around the engine for great strength and a narrow chassis.
  • Closed-deck cylinder block increases strength and allows a narrow engine in spite of big, 77mm bores.
  • Narrow-angle four-valve combustion chambers produce a highly efficient 12.7:1 compression ratio; 31mm titanium intake valves and 25mm exhausts controlled by new, high-lift cams flow plenty of air.
  • Light and strong nutless connecting rods with fractured big ends produce a quick-revving engine with excellent high-rpm durability.
  • High silicon-content ceramic-composite cylinder sleeves ensure great heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.
  • Close-ratio six-speed gearbox with triangulated shaft layout for great strength, compactness, and quicker acceleration.
  • Ramp-type slipper clutch makes braking from speed into tight corners while downshifting smoother and therefore faster.
  • Redesigned titanium underseat exhaust system (with stainless steel midpipe and catalyst) provides excellent cornering clearance and a broad, seamless powerband.
  • 13-percent greater radiator capacity and an aluminum liquid-cooled oil cooler maintain stable operating temperature.
  • Direct ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.
  • AC generator behind cylinder block produces a narrow engine with excellent corne
Chassis/Suspension:
  • An all-new Deltabox frame tuned for optimal flex carries the lay-down four-cylinder stressed-member style, for great handling and efficient aerodynamic penetration.
  • A new truss-type swingarm is extremely strong and tuned for optimal traction and feedback.
  • Dual 310mm front disc brakes; new, six-piston radial-mount calipers and Brembo radial-pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever deliver amazing braking power and feel.
  • Fully adjustable KYB inverted telescopic front fork with 43mm tubes has been revalved to complement other chassis changes.
  • Piggyback rear shock now offers both high- and low-speed compression adjustability, rebound damping and a new, twist-style spring preload adjuster.
  • Light, five-spoke wheels enhance acceleration, deceleration, handling and suspension action.
Additional Features:
  • Redesigned headlights provide great illumination and distinctive style, while the LED taillight is light, bright and highly efficient.
  • Adjustable LCD illumination and multi-function digital gauges: adjustable shift light, odometer, dual tripmeters, water temperature, air temperature, full-time clock, lap timer and large 15,000 rpm analog tachometer.
  • New-design fairing with bigger Ram-Air intakes and screwless windscreen provides maximum aerodynamic efficiency and engine performance.
  • Sticky 120/70-ZR17 and 190/50-ZR17 radial tires for incredible grip and precise handling.
  • Forged footpegs are extra durable and light.
  • Extensive use of hollow bolts and lightweight fasteners helps trim overall weight.
  • 8.6 AH battery is compact and light.
  • Durable #530 O-ring–sealed drive chain.
  • Standard toolkit located in convenient storage compartment under passenger seat.

Chinese Motorcycles

In the present world, motorcycles have become the most common and popular means of transport and the motorcycle market is flooded with different brands of motorcycles. Chinese motorcycles are replicates of the most popular designs and brands in the world market. Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Honda are some of the popular brands in the motorcycle market.

Currently, there are more than 150 motorcycle manufacturing companies in China. Qingqi, Jialing, Zhejiang, Jincheng and Xindazhou are the most popular of them. These manufacturers thoroughly study all the successful branded models and make duplicates of the models. The Chinese motorcycles are in great demand among the African, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries. Apart from these places, the Chinese motorcycles are also in great demand among the American people. The increase in demand for these Chinese motorcycles has lead to a great threat to the global manufacturers.

Focused on the lowest segment of market, the prices of these Chinese motorcycles are comparatively lower than the branded motorcycles. On an average, a Chinese motorcycle will cost approximately $285 to $470. Due to its economic rate, it has become equally popular in domestic and international markets.

You can also find sites in the Internet to look up Chinese motorcycles. While buying Chinese motorcycles, make sure that you get motorcycles at minimum cost and maximum benefits, and the Internet will provide you with wider options in models and price levels. Ebay is one of the best online sites to shop your Chinese motorcycles.

Though, Chinese motorcycles are the exact copies of the popular branded models, they do not show the same performances. Commonly, fake engines and parts of the popular branded models are used to build these duplicates. Thus, the quality of a Chinese motorcycle is very low when compared to the branded design. Hence, a Chinese motorcycle is an ideal option for those who cannot afford the branded one.
