Pros: Maybe the best handling sportbike of all, addictive top end power Cons: Feels overly high strung at less than 8/10ths, racer ergonomics
As a rule, the 600 sport class is motorcycling's fountain of youth. Occasionally you might find a old geezer like yr.obt.svt. on a Honda F4 or a 30-something weekend racer (the real kind-as in on a real racetrack) riding a Suzuki GSXR. But we have to...
Pros: Strong engine, great handling, good looks Cons: touchy throttle and transmission
No, not a personal ad, I'm talking about the Yamaha R6.
If you're reading this, you've probably already done the research on the specs, so we'll just jump straight to the "Fun Factor" This thing is a blast to ride! You won't be...
Pros: Beautiful, light, powerful Cons: tire valve hard to reach, wrists hurt after long ride
How I became the owner
I've owned a motorcycle for 13 of my 35 years. My 91 Kawasaki ZX-7 was beginning to feel a little long in the tooth, so I started looking for a replacement. At first I didn't want a bike at all, I wanted an Acura Integra...
Pros: Performance, Style, Handling Cons: The Police!...Rain!! and a notchy gearbox
The R6 is a marvel in engineering. I bought my black and silver UK bike in march 1999..although i had a pretty good idea of what to expect nothing could have prepared me for the complete satisfaction of owning a YZF.
Pros: Bike of the Year 2000...need I say more? Cons: are there any??
I was recently looking to purchase my first sport bike, and a friend recommended that I look at the R6. At first I was hesitant, because I had never heard of it before, unlike the more common Honda CBR F4. But I decided to take my friend's opinion and...
Pros: Great acceleration; great turning; stylish looks; extra 5k rpms Cons: Sore wrists, at first; costs $1000 more; save some money for the tickets
I could explain to you all about the specifics of the Yamaha R6. All about the engine and the frame.....but I will supply you with a link to Yamaha's official home page and the spec. page for the R6. It can be found...
Pros: Greatly enhanced. Same high revving engine all 50 states. Same price as last year's model. Cons: Not enough wind protection and typical wrist strain (expected). Red flames cost $100 extra.
This is one seriously fast sporting machine. They just don't get much better than this. Visually topping the 2003 YZF-R6 model year changes are two new color choices - Liquid Silver and Black with red flames. The latter is a bit flamboyant for some...
Pros: it is very fast and handles like a dream. Oh, and it is a pretty color! Cons: I cannot afford to buy one!
I just got the wildest ride in my life from a guy on one of these bikes. I have ridden on the back of a Harley before, but never on one of these sport bikes.
He was telling me that the bike weighs about 350 pounds and has like 100...
Pros: Great if you spend all day in a canyon Cons: Dealer has them & you pay dearly for it.
I will not go into the specifics and intricacies of the R6, go to the Yamaha website for that. Yes, the R6 is excellent when doing what it was designed for, but for an all around great motorcycle, it lacks much. You may read all about how well it will...
Pros: Great handiling Cons: hands hurt after long rides
Everything you've read about this bike is true, and how. On paper, it's got 28 more horses than my ZX-7, and weighs about 120lbs less fully wet. There is no waiting on this bike to do anything. Twist the throttle, the revs willingly zing from idle to...
Make no mistake the R6 (or any other crotch-rocket for that matter) is not meant for those looking to go on nice long rides. The stiff suspension makes for a hard ride and the riding position is awkward. But if you like speed and tight handling... you...
Pros: Chicks dig it! Cons: Blink and they are gone!
This bike is a bad to the bone bike. I bought this bike because I wanted the best. This bike is the best in my eyes as well as many other sportbike magazines across the nation. Not only does it look good, but it handles like a dream. The faster...
Pros: Light weight, no trouble at high speeds Cons: Not too great for touring gets uncomfortable after 3 hours or so
Motorcycles has become one of my hobbies over the years, and although I love Harleys etc. this bike is one heck of a sports bike. From the powerful engine to the light weight it is a beautiful bike. The people that made this bike did an excellent job...
Pros: Huge top speed, and great handling. Cons: No power on bottom end of the powerband.
The Yamaha YZF 600 R-1 is probably the fastest of the 600 cc
superbikes that were released in 1999. Riding the R-6 is a real pleasure.
To begin, when you sit on this machine it almost seems to wrap around you.
Almost like you...
