Had a 05 R6 it was fast but not like OMG and that's cause i weighed 105 pounds on a good day, 103 pounds if i just took a **** and didn't eat lunch top speed was 167mph but still had 3000rpm or so togo.

last time i checked most bikes on the track are 600-750 its preferred by the majority to have a modified 600 on the track over a 1000, unless your an inbred who can only go straight as fast as possible

a kiddie bike a pedal driven tricyle not a 200mph machine with no seat belts

I'm not sure of the comments that went before but... I raced and preferred the 1100 size. I'm 6'4" and about 90k. Besides, I like corners but there is nothing wrong with going fast in a straight line too!!!

You really do know it all 9k. Everyone should bow to you.

ROLL YOUR FENDERS.

Its not that hard - or have a decent shop do it.


You'll probably run into a bit of rubbing in the back if you have passengers or hard turns. May need some tab shaving.

So if a 600 is a kiddie bike you must be one of those guys that would rather have a busa and cruise the highway. Really that's all you have in texas anyhow the most you see in turns is through traffic and on ramps, no mountains=no fun which means no real skilled riding. I outrun guys on man bikes all day long through the mountains on my kiddie bike. Remember its not the bike its the rider. And from personal experience everyone I know that lives lower than the dragon can't ride for ****.

Noob, one of the best spots in the country to ride is not too far from here. People come from all the U.S. to run the Three Sisters. And you don't have to worry about tickets and it's much better than the dragon where you have a **** ton of random people of all kinds driving around congesting everything up. People dying out here is rare and typically it is locals drunk driving, hitting deer, etc., very rarely is it bike riders or car enthusiasts.

Miles and miles of this:







Gotta love all the bike experts coming in to a wheel thread defending an R6 like it's the cream of the crop amongst Sport Bikes.

No ****, me too. That car is not my style but I can appreciate the legit work on it. Needs better fitment though. But maybe he tracks it, I dunno. Have you seen the interior of it?
