SWEEEEET!!! Congrats! You will love it! :thumbup: Wait till you get that thing into 13k-16k rpm! Its a rush for sure! Be careful on it.
No way. The power band kicks in around 7 or 8k Rpm.
Really nice for the redline to be at 16.5k though.
lol... me too. i'll be really sad when i have to sell the 6R. she's my first bike and like a first love... she taught me how to ride, and i get stupid ridiculously sentimentally attached to ALL my toys- be it my guitars, computers, cars etc. Ugh! Well, i'll deal with it when the time comes i guess....
i know this is a bit late, but here's a quick shot of me getting ready to ride the R6 for the very first time from the day i brought her home...
i've been taking her out several times a week late at night when there's less traffic and slowly getting used to her on the streets & freeways. she handles so light to the touch and has so much power... the weight difference and power are probably the 2 most notable differences. position-wise, i just move towards the tank and the weight comes off my arms nicely. and, my back doesn't feel so twitched after that. it is definitely a very aggressive riding position, but i think not too difficult to get used to once you wiggle around and find a comfy stance...
i still love the 6R and will be riding her in the canyons until i get comfortable on the R6... i don't need any surprises in the canyons, because anything can happen in a split second. and, i like the security of being on a bike that behaves predictably... at least at this stage of my practicing
PS Mike> did u read my post on my thread on the R6 forum? lol...
What do guys think?
Does the white rear seat cowl finish the look and balance out the color, or is it too much and look off?
