Got a new toy....

[SVTgriff]

Got this new toy for Christmas...:rockon:
2004 Yamaha R6

I still have the Terminator....just wanted a bike too.

This is the second bike I have owned but I have not been on one in about 2 years since I sold my first one.

Got new tires, seat cowl, new undertail kit w/signals, and slip on exhaust on order and should be here next week:burnout:

Damn, two pretty blue rides.. Makes me miss my R1, but I probably still wouldn't be alive if I had kept it.. Be safe and watch out for cars, they don't watch out for you..

 

[boosted306]

Had one and liked it. You should enjoy it, congrats!

[DirtyD916]

Nice man!!!! What slip on did you go with? As you can tell I am partial to Hondas myself, but can always appreciate a bike.

 

[Snakebite2k3]

whats faster? r1 or r6

 

[I-CAN-STANG]

Nice!

 

[DirtyD916]

R1 =1000cc
R6 =599cc
So the R1 is faster

 

[johntom]

Damn you and your habit of fulfilling all my dreams (Car/Bike)

 

[Snakebite2k3]

R1 =1000cc
R6 =599cc
So the R1 is faster

Thanks

What slip on did you go with?

Thanks, I got a Leo Vince Carbon Standard mount

whats faster? r1 or r6

^Yeah, what DirtyD916 said. The R1s are freaks....any liter bike for that matter. Usually +/-150hp and under 400lbs dry. The R6s or any 600cc are around 120hp and just over 350lbs.

I don't have balls the size of church bells so I stayed away from the R1. Maybe after a lot of R6 seat time I will upgrade someday. Besides a good rider can ride the twisties just as fast on a 600 as a 1000, thats arguable of course.

DirtyD916...Did you have a Ducati once? I just see you have "916" in your screen name.


Ducati has a new 1098cc that is 160hp and 90ft lbs and 377lbs dry...

Talk about an ass kicker!

Nice bike. Team blue baby! I've got a Leo Vince highmount on my 6. It sounds GREAT. It's not as loud as Micron or Yoshi, but the tone is excellent.

 

[SRT-4 Turbo 7]

Nice bike man, congrats! I got an 06 636, be safe and watch out for other cars! Merry Christmas.

 

[PhLoBuS]
