The Improved 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6

I wonder if Yamaha isn't just a teeny bit disappointed with, its Yamaha YZF-R6, its middleweight entry introduced few years back. Sure, it looks great, and seems to be doing about 240km/h just sat on its side-stand. But after the public marketing spat over its inaccurate tachometer reading, a merely average showing in most last group tests, and even poor Kev Curtain's last-round flinging away of the world superbike 2006 title, the sparkle has rather faded a little from the heads days following its unveiling in late 2005. So would the new 2008 model of the Yamaha R6 be any better?
