Catalog: New Items 2006

Innovations 2006

With the exception of a few models that are still shrouded in mystery, the new additions for the coming season are known. An impressive variety is presented on the following pages. A whole catalog of motorcycles but also technical innovations, especially in the field of electronics.

Every novelty is doubly important in times of great whining: as a sign of confidence and as a concrete temptation. You could treat yourself to a piece of all the sophisticated technology and spectacular design.
Yamaha relies heavily on seduction. R6, R1, FZ1, MT-03 and FJR, integral brakes, ABS, semi-automatic gearshifts, racing engines in production bikes – these keywords describe great efforts to offer customers a lot for their money. Otherwise only BMW is pursuing a similarly broad strategy,
where, in addition to the K series, a two-cylinder mid-range model family with new in-line engines is launched. And at the same time the boxers get another growth: the one opposite
R 1200 GS Adventure, whose photos in the last second in the
Editorial staff came, or the sporty R 1200 S.
As a relatively small manufacturer, Kawasaki can do that
Do not expand the model range on such a broad front as Yamaha. It is important to set few, but strong accents. The reflection on what the brand stands for has led back to the wrong track to motorcycles like a ZX-10R or ZZR 1400;
the ER-6 models have what it takes to build on previous sales successes
to tie in with the middle class.
In general, the correspondence between product and
Brand image more important than ever. Ducati would have done well to react more energetically to the design and quality problem of the early 999 instead of expanding the ST range. Would be triumph
Concentrating on the classic line and the three-cylinder also spared a lot of turbulence. After all, signs and messages to strengthen your own strengths first, as can also be seen at KTM and Aprilia, give hope. In this respect, it is fitting that Suzuki is not doing any experiments with the new Bandit 1200, despite the 600 and 750 GSX-R
of all innovations signals evolution instead of revolution. Only the GSR 600 is completely new, although it comes a little late.
Honda is promoting safety technology with the first motorcycle airbag and is trying to open up new groups of buyers with inexpensive motorcycles. What is successful with the CBR 125 R and the CBF 600 and the new one VS.BF 1000 has good prognosis
exhibits. But the time would also be ripe for a trip beyond reason, for a fascinating technical delicacy from the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer.

YAMAHA Chip Controlled Shift

Who a motorcycle ?? no scooter ?? with automatic transmission or shift assistance will find little. The "real" automatic transmissions with hydraulic torque converters, such as those offered in the Honda CB 400 A and the Moto Guzzi I-Convert in the 1970s, could not establish themselves because of the indirect driving experience. Automated shifting of conventional gearboxes promises better market opportunities. So-called automatic gearshifts have been used in racing for around 15 years. Triggered by contacts on the gear lever, below-
briefly interrupt the ignition current and possibly the fuel supply when shifting up. The gear wheels are not braced against each other by the torque of the pulling motor; the next gear slips into it without actuating the clutch. This system does not support downshifting.
Alpha Technik developed pneumatic gearshifts years ago: A compressed air cylinder acts on the gearshift lever shaft of a normal gearbox and moves it in the appropriate direction like the driver’s foot to upshift and downshift-
tion. The new YCC-S (Yamaha Chip Controlled Shift) in the FJR 1300 AS basically does that-
same, but it works electro-hydraulically. In addition to the Alpha-Technik system, it also includes electro-hydraulic actuation of the clutch when engaging or disengaging and engages
into engine management. All of this with only four kilograms more weight, but for an additional 2000 euros compared to the normal FJR.
The FJR AS can be switched by rocker-
switch on the left end of the handlebar or via a foot switch, which, however, has no direct Ver-
connection with the transmission, but how the handlebar switch activates the electronics. It then ensures that the clutch and transmission are operated optimally, and also prevents the engine from over-revving if the driver happens to be too often
downshifts. As in the SM gearbox in BMW cars or in the gears of Formula 1 racers, the electronics control the engine speed when downshifting. For all types of switching-
the system requires a period of time
from 0.1 to 0.2 seconds, depending on the complexity
the task. It’s pretty quick; Nevertheless
the gear changes should take place smoothly.

YAMAHA FZ6 FAZER A

Yamaha
FZ6 Fazer A
Together with its sister model, the undisguised FZ6, the 600 series Fazer is Yamaha’s best-selling motorcycle in Germany this year. She will almost certainly be hers in the coming season
Be able to expand success, because it gets an ABS as standard. This makes it 645 euros more expensive. The system works analogously to that

The premium super sports car of the coming year will not be 1000, but the R6. This is

In addition to the Yamaha R1, the second super sporty 1000 series, the designers of which have given the chassis numerous refinements.

It’s all we can show of her. A hip shot. With
a tall guy who also covers part of the motorcycle. But the new sports boxer, the R 1200 S, is sure to come. In contrast to the R 1100 S, which has an aluminum bridge-
frame to stiffen the chassis, the engine of the new one is integrated into a tubular mesh. The front part of the chassis is the motor housing itself.
The boxer should produce around 120 hp in the S, which is transmitted via a six-speed gearbox and a cardan drive of the latest BMW design. We can look forward to the final design of the underseat silencer.

Higher speeds ?? they are the strongest indication that the Fireblade engine has actually gained more power than the catalog data admit. For this, Honda has the channel design in the cylinder head perfectly-
tioned and the compression increased. A new
Crankshaft and modified valve springs should
ensure the reliability of the engine. The developers have also changed a lot on the chassis, shifting the geometry in the direction of handiness and ?? as far as photos too

Honda has developed it for ten years, and for the most powerful tourer in the motorcycle world it is available on request.

In view of the spectacular safety technology, the modifications of the whispering six-cylinder engine fell behind somewhat; he got one
improved emission control. The alternator has been made stronger so that optional comfort equipment such as handle and seat heating or the sound system do not force the power supply to its knees.
