The Bike - Yamaha R6 2006 (2CO Model)

 

 

 

This bike was acquired during the 20007 season and remained pretty much in standard trim for most of the season, with the exception of a race exhaust and Power Commander.  However, towards the back end of 2007 a substantial amount of investment was put into the bike and as well as upgrading the suspension, the engine was given a full FIM Supersport specification tune by Seton Tuning.

 

The bike will remain virtually unchanged for the 2008 season, with the exception of some minor chassis improvements.  The bike still needs a good deal of set up work to get it handling as well as the 2005 bike used in the 2006/07 seasons, but we believe that this bike now has the potential to be very competitive.
