YAMAHAYZF-R1 LE Canada Edition 2005 - 2006

　　In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha YZF-R1 LE Canada Edition, an exclusive edition of the base model that received multiple aftermarket parts, turned into a special breed of beast available only for the Canadian market.

　　The LE Canada Edition motorcycle featured the same technical specifications as the base model, such as a new cylinder head that added three more horsepower to the overall output, a longer swingarm, a back torque-limiting slipper clutch, and Gold Marchesini forged aluminum wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Corsa radial tires.

　　In the performance department, the 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 LE Canada Edition model shared the same specifications as the base model, such as a power output of 174 hp at 12,500 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) of torque at 10,500 rpm.

　　The bike was set in motion by a six-speed manual transmission, and thanks to a dry weight of 174 kg (384 lbs), it reached a top speed of 288 kph (179 mph). From top speed to a complete stop, the two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a single 220 mm disc with a four-piston caliper on the rear provided strong braking performance.

　　The 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 LE Canada Edition featured a European-inspired Metallic Black and Dark Blue paint scheme and was manufactured in a limited number of 500 units for the United States and 500 units for the European market.
