Yamaha R6 2009 Model

There is nothing like riding a motorcycle. In classic films like Easy Rider, the motorcycle was immortalized as the ultimate way of exploring the country. Why not? With the wind whipping through your hair and no doors or roof to restrain you, it's easy to feel free.
For those who are looking to purchase a new motorcycle, the number of options can be a bit overwhelming. You can buy bikes that provide luxury and a superior driving experience or ones that are pure power. In this article, we are going to take a look at the Yamaha R6.
Before we examine the specifics of this particular model, let us first take a look back at the history of this fine company. In 1953, Yamaha manufactured some of the finest musical instruments in the world. They had no connection or experience with motorcycles whatever. However, when a new president took the helm, he decided the company was doing well enough to move into other areas of business. Because of the lack of competition in the industry, the president decided to focus on motorcycles. After only a few months of research and development, the company produced its first model, the Yamaha YA-1.
In order to build a reputation, the young firm entered its new product in the two biggest racing events in Japan. In the first year, their new bike placed first in the 125cc class. The next year the bike won the gold in both the Light and Ultra-light classes.
