If you've ever wondered just how far an FZ6 could be pushed, check out the following footage. One of the riders at the recent track day competes in the Yamaha FZ6 cup and is currently leading the comp. He's a top bloke too - Jason Morris. I bolted my camera to his bike for a 15 minute run and I found his corner speed/angle astonishing.
Two things to bear in mind - the rear cog is a 42 tooth instead of 46, so the speedo over-reads by 8%. The bike is set up for racing with slicks, rearsets, no stands, clip-ons etc, but the engine is stock (so we can all ride this fast...)
Secondly, the day was hot (35C/95F) so the bikes were running a bit slower than normal.
Enjoy :thumbup: and good luck to Jason in the final race meet next week
