Take a look for yourselves! Dam I want one! Too bad they havn't made it
It's a 250cc version of the YZF R... That's about all I know! (that and the fact I want one!)

 

[Killachipmunk]

Are you sure this is real?
Why would they call it the R4 if it's not a 400??

not real thats why

Bikerboy is absolutely spot on, it's been around for years.

However much I wish this was true, it has been floating around for a while.

BUT, with the restriction laws set to change to 46 (or whatever it is), I reckon we very could well expect an R4 very shortly!

And a longer restriction period by the sounds of it...
Although to be fair, a 46bhp restricted 600 is even better than a 33 restricted 600.
And if they don't do a 250 now, they wont nesercarily do a 400.
But still... We can hope

No, It's not real, apparently it was supposed to be in Yamaha's 2010 line up.

plus on that website it says its a new single cylinder engine, but you can see atleast 2 exhaust pipes coming from the head.

Some big singles do run twin pipes one per valve effectively. Have a look at the Yamaha 660 Tenere for example.

 

[R125 Rob]

Benji, are you some kind of mechanic or something?

All of you replies seem very well educated in this department!

 

[Benji]

I'm a vehicle technician by trade now, have done other things in the past. I just have one of those minds.

You don't want it, trust me, it's a curse, it never switches off. When I was software developing I would keep my works laptop by my bed, go to sleep with a problem, wake in the middle of the night with the solution, code it, then go back to sleep if I was lucky.

but how quickly could you do a Rubiks cube?

Never did it, couldn't see the point, in wasting that much time just to muddle it up again. It was a learning aid to help 3d visualisation for architectural students.

 

[MrWhite]

got one for Christmas. spent about 29 seconds muddling it up, we're now 42 days on...
