Yamaha YZF description

7090 Southwest Freeway 2011 Yamaha YZF R6 Condition: ExcellentColor: MaroonCall sales today at or shop with us on-line 24/7 at houstonsuperbikes.comDont let this beautiful bike pass you by. This #1 light weight contender wont last long the way our dedicated Houston riders are here. Yamaha's Chip Controlled (YCC-T) ride-by-wire throttle system with electronically controlled variable-length intake tracts (for a broader powerband) works to smooth out most of the dips and valleys from the high strung 599cc inline-Four, as well as reduce engine braking at high revs--another good idea that's mechanically aided by a back-torque-limiting slipper clutch.Lean forward into the racy riding position and you'll see a programmable shift light and big analog tachometer right where they belong: front and center. At 6 grand, a cleverly placed R6 logo serves as a good reference for where the engine needs to be spinning to get away from a standstill with a bogless launch. The rev limiter doesn't begin to cut in 'til 10,000 rpm later.Fully adjustable suspension can be tailored to soak up imperfect streets or firmed up for track days. The 41mm fork provides great feel from the Dunlop Qualifier's contact patch--and helped me avoid an incident brought on by a truck spilling transmission fluid right in front of me. That steep swingarm angle doesn't hurt when it comes to sudden midcorner corrections, either. Little pressure is required on the scalpel-thin front brake lever to stop the 394-pound-dry R6 in its tracks.

Team Hammer Releases Martin Cardenas

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

AMA Pro Racing’s Team Hammer has released Martin Cardenas from his contract to allow the reigning AMA Daytona Sportbike Champion “to better pursue his goal of returning to World Championship competition as soon as possible.” Though the eventual goal appears to be for Cardenas to move up to the World Superbike Championship, rumors have Cardenas landing with the Yoshimura Suzuki factory team to race in the AMA Superbike Championship in 2013 as an eventual stepping stone towards international racing. Cardenas won the 2010 and 2012 AMA Daytona Sportbike championships with Team Hammer riding a Suzuki GSX-R600. Team Hammer held a contract option for Cardenas for the 2013 season but decided to release the Colombian racer, allowing him to take a different route towards a WSBK career.
