    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    Slightly used, about 1,200 miles. Aftermarket Cobra swept back exhaust was on the back with an integrated rear tail light. I do have some left overs I am about to put on ebay but I thought I would offer up here as well. Flush mount front blinkers (smoke) Intuitive no cut frame sliders...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    I was happy to stay within the Yamaha family, I've heard through several different people that they have the strongest motors out of any other company. I LOVE the Raider, still taking my time and being safe with such a large machine. I don't regret getting the 6R for a second and at times...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    Well.......I ended up checking out another dealer for an R6 to try and stay within the family. I checked out the R6 and a CBE 600RR....that's when I looked across the dealership and saw a MONSTER. Long story short I traded up, same trade in of $5,000, and rode out with a slightly used 2009...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    Dude right across the street was eye balling my 6R a month ago and just yesterday I noticed he went out and bought a R1.... Pisses me off every time I [U]hear /U] him coming and going and he has the white with red paint job that I really love. Nothing is worse than knowing I want a SS and...

    What's fair deal on used 6R?

    Dealer took a fair amount off their suggested retail sticker price on both bikes I was looking at. Seems like used '08 GSX-6R's are going for around $6,500 on ebay all day long. Just trying to see which holds a longer value knowing as soon as I take the key I get to assume the position all...

    What's fair deal on used 6R?

    So for those out there thinking of trading in/up/out or like I am what does everything think is a good fair price on a 6R? I was offered $5,000 on trade from the dealer this weekend. I know mileage doesn't matter a whole lot from NADA or what I've seen but I'm at 700 miles. So is this...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    I'm also looking at either getting the 2008 GSX-6R or the 2010 Vulcan 900 Custom SE for the same price OTD knowing I still need to eat the $1,500 in depreciation. The Vulcan has about $600 in after market little accessories on it. Tough call at this point, I'm split 33% all the way across...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    I was looking at the 2010 Vulcan 900 Custom Special Edition with the flat black/silver across the entire bike. I thought that the punch did not have the torque I was expecting from a 900cc bike. I think it rates at 58 ft lbs at 3500 RPM's. It was hard with out a tach to see if I was up there...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    So the test drive went very well, I love the electronic steering dampener and the power modes were also amazing. I stayed in C (lowest power band avail) again not because I want to do wheelies but I really love the look and options for a super sport. So the riding style was much more...

    '08 GSX-6R - should never have gone

    The 6R is all I have ever know when it comes to bikes....however I was with my friend today when he was getting a new jacket and I sat on a 2008 GSX-6R on the showroom floor. It was left over stock, 0 miles, black, and the dealer was willing to work with me. Needless to say I've been...

    After Market Tires

    Dealership is saying 170 is as big as we can go with our swingarm and rim. He said the difference between a 160 & 170 is less than an inch in diameter.

    2010 Last Year for FZ6R????

    I was talking to the dealer today when I dropped my 6R for it's first ride and he was talking to me about the Yamaha rep who was in just this past month stating Yamaha is doing away with some of their 600cc class. Thought that the FZ6, FZ6R, or the R6S was likely to be cut with the current...

    FZ6R Exhaust,which one?

    So would this go onto our stock headers where it connects down to the 2 pipe? If we can drop the this on our bikes without spending the $900 +/- what are we really missing? Unless the TBR system headers are that much better than ours. :confused:

    Suspension Adjustment

    Is the only way to reduce that sag when I add a passenger is to change the rear spring and set up all together? Would adding a thicker weight help me go from a 7 now to a 5 where then with my passenger I could bump it up to a 7 at that point without feeling the sag back there? I know I've...

    Suspension Adjustment

    I recently talked the girlfriend into taking her first ride with me and it was the first time I had company on my bike. We cruised around the neighborhood in the 25 MPH zones so there was nothing that could shock either of us too bad with it being the first. Question is I'm about 225 lbs and...
