Yeah, I know this is a car forum, but these bikes ROCK!

Read about them here.

2006 R6


2006 R1 Limited Edition with Ohlins suspension


My personal favorite (and possibly my next bike) 2006 FZ1 with new aluminum frame and swingarm, and current R1 engine tuned for more midrange torque and rated at 150hp.

 

HAHA, I agree these bikes are nice. Love high revving :D

 

the yamahas are nice, i would go Honda CBR-RR if i got another bike (former suzuki 600/1000 GSXR) but the R6/R1 are both great bikes and VERY aggressive looks.

If money was no object of course i would go for a ducati/aprilla.

 

That black R6 is way sexay!

 

17500 rpm redline on that r6. Insane.

 

Those things sound amazing. I wish I had extra money for a bike like that, but I think I'd opt for the Honda CBR series as well, I like the looks better and from what I've read they are nicer bikes. I'd have to test both out though to know for sure. Someone gimme teh monies :D

 

its on sale right now too......starting at $45/month for 24 months...

its $80/month for 2006 r6

 

Is that for leasing? Am I wrong or does that come out to 1080 for the bike?

 

haha....there is no lease for motorcycles....


its $80/month for 24 months with no money down....after 24 months then u can buy it off....then sell it

 

It's $49/mth 6.9% for 24 months THEN after the 24months the interest will go way up on the balance (over 7000 if you've only been making minimum payments.)

Your best bet is the fixed 6.9% for 72months but that's not available on the '06 sportbikes, but it is on the '06 cruiser lineup.

 

my friend just drove 2 R6s to camping... i wasn't there but i hear everyone at the camp site was just staring at them... lol.... guess what they drove there to camp... a ceyenne S, H2, RSX, and i heard some other cars thats expensive... and guess what, they're all kids.... rich *** bastards..!

 

Hahaha, I don't know a whole lot about motorcycles it seems :p I guess that makes sense though. Thanks for the info

 

What's insane is that 10 years ago F1 cars didn't redline that high, and that R6 comes with a full warranty!

 

The R6 makes me feel kind of funny, like when I climb the ropes in gym class.

 

Yeah my friend has one. Its sad to say, but I give him a year before he's dead. Those things are death traps, especially living in an area where its very dense with cars!

 

I've always wanted a bike. I have my liscense and ride my freinds on occasion. I kinda want one soley for the track seeing as how everytime I ride on the street some nimwit scares the **** out of me. It's cheaper than running a race car, more dangerous, but probably just as fun, if not more.

 

how about a Harley??? :D

 

time to take a student loan, save money on gas

 

Much more fun. There's nothing like leaning one over so hard in a curve that you scrape the pegs on the asphault. Makes a real good spark shower though :D

 

lets not forget these yamahas also handle just about better than its competition, and the R1's power is very respectable, though not the fastest in its liter class.

the yamaha's are the top dog of japanese bikes in terms of all around performance and balance.

and all of kawas stuff up untill recently was junk, terrible quality, plus steering problems with some 90s ninjas :O

 

Sold my 02 R6 last week. Very sad to see it go. Not the right time for me to have a bike. But the good thing is, having sold the current bike frees me up for buying another one here in a couple of years! 2010 R1, HERE I COME!!! Maybe it'll come with a supercharger, or single-sided swingarm, or 250 hp w/o forced induction?!?
