Don't get me wrong...it's a great bike but mainly for the track so you can rev the $hit out of it. If you ride in this area and plan to pass a car on a two lane...you better rev the R6 up but on my R1 it take a LOT less effort.
It's not being stupid...it's being factual. |
First, there is a big difference between an 06-07 R6 and a 03-05. 06-07 were the worst years in terms of low-end power. For 08 Yamaha made some changes.
Also, some of you guys weigh 100 lbs more than me
