This limited R6s were decorated by Drudi, Valentino Rossi's designer, and had the champion's signature on the tank. The trick color scheme further enhances the sporting quality of the 2005-model R6, which bristles with performance upgrades including bigger throttle bodies, improved fuel-injection and revised intake funnels for a smoother, fatter powerband with added horsepower at 13,000rpm. To channel that power, a new, fully-adjustable inverted fork with 41mm tubes is added for the most precise handling possible.
