Yamaha R6

[Justin33]

Just curious.........This spring i would like to get a 2000 or 2001 R6 anyone have an idea what they go for i am planning on having around 4k or so to go looking..................also, are other models considered a little cheaper to get and on insurance such as the CBR's and such any replies and info would be appreciated................

how many shallow chics you want to attract with that R6? Get a 04 R1 instead, you'll receive classy nookies. lol.

01 R6 can be had for mid $4Ks to $5ks. The ones with mods are naturally pricey.

If you like the 00, you might as well consider 99 too, since it was the 01 that had major upgrades, followed with fuel injection and body and chasis redesign in 03.

haha, yes girls would be nice..........I'm just saying, I am planning on having somewhere around 4 k.....but the bikes around here that are 2000 or 2001 seem to be going for 5k.........i said the R6 becuase i like the blue color they offer, it would look bad ass.............as for the R1 idea..........i don't really need a 1000cc bike my uncles cbrxx blackbird was enuff under the croth for me

is it just me or does the r1 look extremly uncomfortable to ride?

Well I haven't ridden a R1, but I've sat on one and it didn't seem like it would be too uncomfortable. Long rides being a exception of course.

funny thing is when you ride one, you forget to feel how uncomfortable you are. too busy concentrating on everything else. bit like driving a rotor. so much fun when its running you forget the down time for repairs

my 'blades a very uncomfortable bike two up when i can't move too much, but on my own i forget to feel the numb ass or sore back.(back brace does wonders for that)

Well I drive my rotor hard and it keeps on a ticking. I like my katana since I can sit upright if I want to since I have long arms. It's fun, but unfortunately I broke the key in the gas tank lock. Then just the other day I walk out to see the bike on it's side. It scraped the fairing and broke the clutch lever. I wasn't a happy camper.

whats wrong with having an R6? thats the bike i plan to get in my future. Besides i doutb chicks know the difference....

[speediva]

This chick does... I think R6's are grody. But that's just me.






Oh, and the reason that "curb monkeys" like the R6 so much... is because it's the only letter and number combination their delicate minds can remember.

I have an 03 R6 and I did the gearing and some other stuff to it, plenty fast
((( insurance is why we don't ride the big ones)))
