If these new B6s can come close to the YZ2 in cornerspeed and still jump and generate grip better they will be on my short list to buy.
Having ran a lay down tranny (yz2) for over a year now I can definitely see the benefit of two seperate cars for high (B6C) and medium to low grip conditions (B6D).

This has been my exact experience with the yz-2. I race at on high bite indoor clay and if the layout is relatively flat with lots of sweeping corners i can blow by the b5ms mid corner and turn a faster lap. If the layout has lots of jumps and rythm sections ive got nothing for them. Ths b5m settles way faster than my yz-2 after landing and they smoke me.
I too am really hoping th b6 has the corner speed of the yz-2 and the jumping of the b5m.
