staat wel "2006 new models" maar niets klikbaar of zo 
Volgens MCN wordt dit dus inderdaad de R1 SP...
The 2006 Yamaha R1 is updated too with a little more power and a little more weight. There's also a limited edition SP version.
Knaakiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee! Zeg eens wat!

The most obvious change, of course, is how the new R6 looks. I've seen it in the flesh and it looks even sweeter in person than in pictures. Three elements dominate the eye: The forward swoop of the fairing; the MotoGP-inspired exhaust; and the diminutive tailsection with its taillight/signals/fender unit suspended by an aluminum hanger.
Inside the dynamic new fairing resides a real screamer of a motor. Engineers have done what they've been doing to high-performance engines since the internal combustion motor was invented. As the decades pass, cylinder bores have increased and strokes have gotten shorter to deliver higher-revving machinery. Not only does this keep piston speeds from exceeding the durability of rods and pistons, it also allows a greater number of cylinder firings per a given unit of time.
With that in mind, Yamaha has hogged out the cylinder bores from 65.5mm to 67.0mm, reducing the stroke by 2.0mm to keep its displacement under the 600cc limit for supersport racing. The fuel-injector throttle bodies now receive some sort of computer assistance, although Yamaha reps don't yet have full details.
Yamaha has yet to release power claims for the R6's new mill, but you can be sure it'll pump out more than the previous version. An EXUP exhaust valve makes its first appearance on a middleweight Yamaha, bolstering what midrange this rev-happy motor has. The compact muffler mounted behind the right footpeg is augmented by a large, round collector beneath the engine.
Another significant new feature of the R6 is the addition of a slipper clutch, matching its middleweight Kawasaki competition. Its transmission gearing has been shuffled to bring its ratios a bit closer together, ultimately yielding taller overall ratios in each gear. This will make the R6 better for track use, but at the expense of some thrust at street speeds, especially from its taller first gear.
Continuing this all-new theme, the R6's building block - its frame - is a clean-sheet design. Boasting a smooth, sculpted finish, the frame keeps the previous version's 24.0-degree rake and 54.3-inch wheelbase, but its 3.8 inches of trail is 0.4-inch greater, which should make for slightly calmer steering behavior. Ram-air intakes now snake directly through the frame instead of around it.
In relation to the previous R6, this new one is about a half-inch longer and is 0.4-inch wider and taller. Vertically challenged riders won't appreciate the 33.5-inch seat height, which is 1.2-inch higher than before. It rides on a set of new rubber from Dunlop that are called "Qualifier" tires.
Not that it really needed it, but the new R6 has received a significantly uprated suspension. Its inverted fork now features a remote shim stack for its compression damping circuits, a la the Honda RC51, and has a super-beefy casting for the radial-mount brake calipers. Its rear shock now has both high- and low-speed compression damping adjustments (like the ZX-6R) in addition to the usual preload and rebound damping clickers, and it's actuated via a new aluminum swingarm that slopes downward at a radical angle, providing another interesting design element.
We'd like to tell you more about this wild new R6, but details are scant at the time of this writing, including the as-yet-unannounced MSRP that is likely to hit somewhere near the $9000 mark. What we can share is that it will be available in traditional Yamaha blue/white, its popular blacked-out Raven color, and in the yellow/black/white anniversary colors that proved so popular at Laguna Seca's MotoGP race this year when Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards rode to podium finishes.
YZF-R6S
If the new R6 sounds a bit too pricey for you, perhaps Yamaha can interest you in the 2006 R6S. Set to come in at a much lower price tag (somewhere below $8000), the R6S is basically a 2004 R6 that you can buy brand new. Sure, it doesn't have an inverted fork or radial-mount brakes, but that shouldn't take away much overall goodness from what is essentially the same bike that won both our 2003 Supersport Showdown and our 2004 Supersport Survivor comparos.

Ook niet verkeerd... 2006 fazer @ 150bhp
2005 yamaha r6 blijft gewoon in productie en zo'n 1000 e'tjes goedkoper als de nieuwe r6...

Standaard:
* 3 PK extra
* iets meer gewicht (heb geen zin om pounds om te rekenen
)
* Langere wielbasis door langere achterbrug
SP versie:
* Marchesini wielen
* Ohlins voorvorken
* Slipper clutch
YZF-R1
Although we expected a bit more from a revised edition of the handsome and strong-selling R1, we are getting the expected upgrades of increased power and a more rigid chassis for better handling. Engine architecture remains unchanged, although tuning revisions are said to offer a trio of extra ponies of peak power. A revised clutch promises more manageable modulation.
Rake and trail remain essentially unchanged, but the big difference in chassis geometry comes in the form of a longer swingarm that stretches the wheelbase nearly an inch to 55.7 inches. According to Yamaha's specifications, the new R1 carries a duo of extra pounds.
Oh, it also comes equipped with a lap timer on its instrument cluster. Like the new R6, the R1 will be offered in the same three color combinations. Prices have yet to be announced.
YZF-R1LE
Well, here it is: the ultimate bling machine for R1 devotees. Limited to just 500 serialized units in America, this special-edition R1 mimics the Italian sportbike manufacturers by including high-spec componentry for a premium price. Just like high-line Ducatis and Aprilias, the R1LE is equipped with Ohlins suspension components front and rear, and lightweight forged Marchesini wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Corsa tires.
What hasn't changed is the LE's engine spec, as it remains in the same state of tune as the standard bike. What's cool is the addition of a slipper clutch to this high-spec edition.
