A cross-plane crankshaft may sound a little new to your ears, but they will no longer be soon enough.  It is actually the largest leap and enhancement in literbike engine design after a few long years, and is considered the link to Valentino Rossi’s MotoGP bike.

A part of Yamaha’s most recent YZF-R1, this new crankshaft is a literbike which has been tested last week at the Eastern Creek circuit in Australia.  The Yamaha R1 is said to have a design unseen and unmade in previous motorcycle models.

The Yamaha R1 is made obviously different (in a good way, of course) than previously manufactured literbikes by the 998cc engine’s distinct sound.  It is similar to a V-Four with a rather profound and determined note which comes out a lot like it is a little angry.  But when talking about competition, the Yamaha R1’s motor power generation sets it apart from the others.  The peaky powerband of previous models have been replaced with the most dutiful and biddable four-cylinder literbike.

There is big credit on the enhanced midrange, yet there is greater recognition and acknowledgement on getting the feel of a direct connection between the throttle and the rear tire.

Yamaha is sending out a recall on all YZF-RG sport bikes manufactured from August 2005 to  March 2010.

It has been found that the Yamaha YZF-R6 sport bikes which were manufactured from August 2005 to March 2010 had front side mirrors which did not reach federal safety standards.  They are said to be not mounted high enough to pass the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.108 which states that the center point of front side mirrors or reflectors must be at least 381 millimeters above the ground, and at most 1524 millimeters from the same point.  The center point of the front side mirrors of the said units is found to be an inch short, meaning its center point is only 358 mm above the ground.

The recall on the said Yamaha YZF-R6 sport bike units has a relatively large scope, which covers approximately 54,000 units around the globe.  Yamaha says that the company will install into the units a new reflector bracket on the front side mirrors or reflectors to raise them high enough to meet the standards of safety.  It will be a minor change, the company added.  Yamaha, being a well-known motorcycle manufacturer is making sure that the recall will have as minimal damage as it can.

For the first half of the present year (2010), Yamaha Motor Co. announces a 16.7% net sales increase relative to 2009’s bi-annual net sales.

As of June 30, 2010, net sales of over 676.2 billion yen have been procured by the Japanese manufacturer as the year’s first half ends.  Out of the total sales, motorcycle sales tally a total of 476.5 billion yen which expresses a total of 16.2% increase compared to the net sales of motorcycles a year ago, covering the same period.

Until the first half of the present year (2010), Yamaha states that it has sold over 3.5 million motorcycles globally; this is a total of 30% in increase related to 2009 records.  Three million motorcycle units, out of the total 3.5 million which has been accounted for, were sold in Asia (excluding Japan sales).  This means, the majority of the sales were made in Asia.

Contrary to the increase, net sales in North America show less upbeat.  Compared to the 75,000 units sold all over North America in 2009, the net sales for 2010’s first half declined to 35,000 units.

For the whole of 2010, Yamaha estimates their net sales to increase further yet North American sales to continue in declining.
