The '09 R6S, and the other S years have always had conventional forks, they're still non-inverted.
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/pr...00/0/home.aspx And another thing is that it comes with a 120/60 front, not a 120/70 like all the other bikes out now. It literally is the same exact bike as the '04 but with different paint schemes every new year it comes out. Literally, down to the weight and everything.

I can honestly say that I try to miss that bike, but I can't miss it. My current R6 is that badass.

Seriously. Thing's such a screamer. No feeling like ripping through those gears on a straight. Sounds so fucking sick.
My buddy just track-prepped the SHIT out of his bike... has a leo vince full system. You could hear that thing from the garage no matter what part of the track he was on. Absolutely WAILED. Here it is: ![]() ![]() He works at GMD so I'm hoping they can help me out with my insurance hullaballoo...
