January 1, 2009 7:55 PM AEDT

The powerful V-twin that sports a massive fuel injected 1670cc engine and a minimal aluminium chassis bristling with state of the\nart performance parts now comes in three new colours and is fitted with a monster six piston twin caliper radial front brake setup.

The big bore, long stroke engine is designed to provide torque addicts with a massive hit from low down the rev range while the CF die cast frame and truss style swingarm offer superb roadholding. The six pot radially mounted GP-style brakes combine with fully adjustable 43mm upside down forks and a horizontally mounted rear shock to result in a bike that breaks the mould. Twin high swept mufflers and unique styling round out the package that's turned the motorcycle world on its ear. Available colours are now Silver Sand (with silver engine and orange pinstriped wheels); Competition White (with two-tone white/black seat) and Midnight Black. RRP is $18,999. www.yamaha-motor.com.au
