I have owned an r6 since 2010 ... I had the 2010 and 2015 model ... I will never love another bike the same ... absolutely gutted and actually angry that it has been discontinued! I will probably buy the 2017 model for my next bike .... I just love the fact that it is soooo RAW ... all bike and engine .... nothing else!
gotta agree! the experience was unreal.. fantastic bike!
Idk if i wanna get a 2017 r6 as a my first bike 😆 what do u think
@@R1___ Bro it is the perfect bike to start on ;) The torque in the lower end Rev range is low (2000-8000 rpm) meaning it is easy to control and you can really throw it around down there without coming off ...
Why did you get a 2015 when you had a 2010? they are the same. I have the 2008. same again... if it was 2017 then it makes sense. new body dash electrics etc..
@@R1___ No. get an r3. You will whisky throttle the r6 or run into a corner too fast. They are legit fast!
6:37 that shift light can be set to flash at different rpms. You can control the setting and set it to whatever rpm you want and it will light up at that rpm. Its pretty handy
cheers for the info :)
I been riding a 2000 r6 for 15 years, what a machine
Keep it up mate, great review! Can't wait to see more bike reviews. I love cars but the performance of bikes in on another level.
cheers andrew! more to come i hope :)
Glad to see the motorcycle reviews man! If you end up doing more, have a 2016 Ducati Diavel with a few mods you can review!
really! can you hit me up on FB or insta!? would love to see it
Top stuff. I didn't know you were into bikes. Kudos for that.
I had one of the early serious 600s - a Yamaha FZR600 which is an ancestor of the R6. The R6 is is on a whole nother level. Cheers.
thanks neil yeh ive always loved bikes :) hope to do more bike reviews
What a ripper review Johnny. Can't wait for the next few ones!
:) more to come
Didn’t expect you to be into bikes! Fkn awesome 👌🏼 these mid 2000’s 600’s are just something special aren’t they!!! I got a 2005 CBR600RR that I’m storing away for 5-10yrs seeing theyre discontinuing 600cc inline 4’s pretty soon. Also got an MT09 SP fully tricked out….if you haven’t ridden an 09 sp or even just at 09 before you go to! Almost as much top end power at the inline 600’s but the torque from the 900 3 cylinder is like nothing I’ve felt before 👌🏼👌🏼 almost 100nm of torque on her hehe
i love to suprise people haha hope to do more bikes this year :)
Awesome review 👍, I had an R6 , the red and white one you showed in the video, was so good.
I have to say my favourite was my 2010 Suzuki Bandit 1250S 👌
thanks brother! glad you enjoyed the review too much fun
Nice! that motor is damn powerful for a small engine. I had Yamaha FZ6 few years ago and that thing was very quick. Recently had a test ride on my mate's Hayabusa and Suzuki Boulevards too. Review them if you get a chance, you'll be surprised.
oh man that sounds insane.. lets hope i get the chance
I own the 08 R6. Down right legendary.
Amazing bikes
I had a Thundercat and a ZZR600 you have to love 600s the Thundercat revved to 13 and the Z to 14 both slower than the R6 but still heaps of fun on the road 14,000 rpm is just so much fun the noise is unbelievable.
running through the RPMs is simply the best!
Keep the bikes coming
cheers! will do my best
Good stuff man! I'm so excited for the reviews ahead! I can't wait to put my R6 on the road again (had a lowside at the track :( ) i still have my MT-07 what a hoon machine they can be. if you can get you hands on any MT series from Yamaha please do a review they are amazingly full of torque like a KTM. Im sure you already know that but its so different from the normal Inline 4s.
they look wicked! i hope i can find one some day! would be a great bike to show off
@@RossReviewsau I wish my MT wasn’t my daily otherwise I’d get it over to you, just for a review 😂 all of your reviews are awesome mate, keep on the grind 🤙
Yes love this! More bike reviews please 🙏😍
more on the way :)
I did ride when i was younger absolutely loved it , cant do it anymore bloody arthritis got the better of me . Grwat review johnny .
thanks glenn glad you enjoyed it!
Damn I miss my R6 😢 bought a brand new back in 2008, the blue with gold rims 😍 rode it until 2013. But then I sold it to buy a car… miss it like everyday.
Im into getting a R1 but insurance costs in sweden are helluva high!
Awesome bikes eh! Yet to try an R1 but can only imagine
Ross, this isn’t the first 600cc production bike to have over 100hp in 1999. For example the 1999 Honda CBR600F4 made 110hp
According to google the R6 was the first to make 100hp (stock) from factory
Awesome vid!!!!
glad you enjoyed it
Awesome, you have bought bikes to the channel, love it
glad you are keen to see more
Nice bike, nice review mate, now I'm Gunna have to watch some Isle of man, Cheers 👍🇦🇺🍻
HELL YES haha
Straight to the point 👍
💪
I have an mt09 its so fun and sounds awesome just watching this makes me want to take it out. I wanted to buy an r6 but there all just to expensive at the moment in nsw, plus I prefer the 09 just because of the torque where the power is more enjoyable/usable. I insist you ride one if you haven't already.
I’d love to hope I can one day mate! Glad you enjoyed the video 🤟
Hey Mate,it just goes to show you're a pure enthusiast,there's nothing you can't drive or ride,I know those bikes well & nearly died on one,my mate years ago picked me up on his 2007 R6 model one night pissed & doubled me back to his house to drink some more about a 25 minute ride & about 10 minutes in he flew around a corner doing around 60 kms & there was a S bend in the road his front tyre smashed into the side of the gutter & bounced back off & somehow we kept going,but he stopped & we took a break in shock that we were still alive we had no helmets on or nothing just a t shirt & jeans lol,I can laugh about it now but at the time it was scary,anyway great review Johnny & I still love bikes even though I don't own one.
thanks pete as always! lets hope i can continue down this path n get some interesting vehicles on from all sorts of different avenues :)
What a cool video you should bring some more bikes onto the channel
going to do my best :)
Best place to do a test ride, without a doubt one of the most fun roads in Perth!
best road in perth hands down
I have the model before this one 5SL and its great, never rode this model tho, excellent review by the way.
Thank Alex glad you enjoyed it
I had an 06 R6 for my first bike. Best bike that I ever owned.
Great bike
Fark that looks like fun! I want one!
great fun!
How do you maintain temp on low speeds. Mine goes upto like 215 then the fan kicks in.
Can you please do a review on a lams r7 looking at getting one for my first bike would be awesome.
I’ll do my best!
Riding an 02'yzf r6 mint condition. I like when we actually had to shift gears it's like giving your bike a little foreplay!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂 some bikes are like that now just to much in the one gear
Hell yeah it's addictive! Got my bike license last year.. had the thing for 3 months before I lost it on the spot 😂 I'm on a 2010 de restricted yammie fz6r that I picked up for 5k with 8k kms on it.. bikes are outrageously awesome!
HAHA oh man i gotta be careful if i start bike reviews regularly haha it is just to damn fun!
Surely do a 2022 ninja 650 or more bike reviews in general 🔥🔥
Where did you get the mirrors
Love a Bike review ...
im gonna try to do more :)
Just got me a 2008 r6 for $1200. I dont care if it costs me $$$ to get on the road again. Definitely going to be worth it
Nice addition to go along with my cfmoto 150nk and my ninja 300 😎👌
This will be a good one 👍 nothing beats all that power between the legs 👍🇦🇺🍻
its a good time ;)
Yamaha builds stuff on point. vehicle's, engines, and piano's 🤙🏼
It just a shame they don't develop enough on their 2strokes.
Wdym on 2 strokes? Yz250 is one of the best out there. I own one together with an R6 and must say YZ gave me more fun this past year
@@jerzynazeszczecina3497 for a start the frame hasnt changed for the past 14years, which is a testament to yamaha i guess, but look at other brands, hydro clutch, e-start, r&d in the suspension, even something simple as a sidestand.
@@P2DAPIPE why change something that is perfect :)
Great little track bike
epic little track bike
Motorbike review! I think this is the first time!
It’s the first one 🥳
Rode an R1, loved it. Decided not to buy one due to reduced life span. Are you into dirt bikes?
HAHA wise choice im sure man.. yes love dirtbikes i used to race motocross
Would love another review on a learner bike maybe like a 250-300 cc 👌🏽
I own a 250cc Hyosung 😂
You wouldn't want one. Source: I have a piece of garbage rebel 300. Absolute junk.
Hell I'm waiting for this one, I would love to see one for an bmw s1krr
Will see you at 4pm I hope to do more so fingers crossed
@@RossReviewsau awesome, can't wait!
This was my first motorcycle. Getting another R6 this year 😭
What kind of mirrors are those? They look interesting
Just aftermarket I’m not sure the brand
I was extremely uninterested in this and I was playing the video while cooking tea.
I heard 11 second quarter mile and was like damn not bad.
Then I heard $8000 and ran to the tv to play that back 😆. I need to sell my Falcon now
im glad you enjoyed it sam! they are a heap of fun!
Mate if you come to qld you can review my ktm Superduke 1290
Thanks man! Would love that some time
WE WANT MORE BIKES 🥵👏
what link for those side mirror ?
sorry im not sure where the previous owner got them.. my brother is not sure
Amazing
so glad you enjoyed it
Is this filmed on the toodyay RD?
Maybe 🤫
Some of us know this road well.
We will not speak of it as its our little secret.
Mate you HAVE to review either a Honda MC22 CBR250rr. 20,000rpm is all I need to say... Or the honda Cb400 super four VTEC baby!
oh that sounds like to much fun! lets hope it can happen one day
@@RossReviewsau hehehehe only one can imagine 👍👌
There all noise with no go, typical Honda
@@ur2slob724 ayo noise is part of the experience. And when your LAMs NOTHING sounds better, absolutely NOTHING.
@@uptheau2875 mate a 2 stroke ape sounds better than those Hondas.. heck even a triple 660 trumpet sounds better
If you could get your hands on a Ducati diavel, that would be great thanks ;)
lets hope!
Try get your hands on an early yzfr1000. More commonly known as the first r1. My uncle has one, they actively try to kill you.
My brother rides a kwak z1000. Its 14 years newer, a 2011 model. But is faster and less prone to actively trying to kill you.
ill do my best :) keen to try more bikes
I have that bike 02 yamaha r1, there a wheelie monster
Johnny what motorbike do you have?
hyosung GT250r HAHA
@@RossReviewsau oh yeah I gotcha
I’m planning to buy one, good idea in 2022?
Yes always a good time for one
@@RossReviewsau I’m getting a great deal for a 2011 Yamaha R6 skull edition
Thanks for the awesome video man!
Just bought my first bike ever lol 2007 r6 LFG !!!
Good buy man
Don't mistake my constructive criticism for hate or negative comment. Ive been a subscriber from the the very start and I've really enjoyed watching your unique perspective on our Aussie built cars especially the Falcons.
I remember when I first rode an 2008 R6 was a mates track bike, an ex YART factory bike at Phillip Island and it didn't disappoint, but it was far from stupid fast. Admittedly if you were used to riding a Hyosung 250 LAMS bike or similar then hell yes it would feel stupid fast but in the world of superbikes the R6 is a fantastic place to start if you are looking to improve your riding skills on the twisties and the track. I understand it's all relative, cos in my opinion my RSV4 Factory or S1000RR COMPETITION is stupid fast, but both of them would get spanked by a H2R in a straight line, and then of course you have the force fed turbocharged Busa and Z14R extended swing arm monsters ect. Now those are STUPID FAST. I'm sure you take my point yeah. I realise that you have probably done your research on Wikipedia or Google and can only report on what you read but trust me when I say there's not an R6 anywhere in the world that has run a 10 sec pass. On a stock bike even with a shorty or slip on pipe, if you are doing 11.50s you are doing well. Again I must say I'm taking about a stock R6, GSXR, CBR, ZXR, all the best crotch rockets are high 11s low in standard trim. If you do gearing, power commander and full exhaust and your a gun rider maybe you might scrape a 10.99 @ 120mph and we ride bikes and drive cars 😉👍
your completely right and i appreciate the criticism as i have not been on a lot of bigger bikes yet.. this did feel very fast for me so i definitely could be in the wrong calling it stupid fast.. i hope to continue with bikes tho and grow more through the reviews
Hos much im interested in buying
I will have one, one day.
Awesome bikes
Hands down the best looking R6 ever. I hate the latest generation.
Facts 👏
Most beautiful fing bike ever
It’s a looker
Hit up a Harley Davidson low rider S, see what your opinion is, be interesting to hear.
love the sound of a good harley eh
With a stage 4 131 they bloody boogie for a hog
Fck it, imma get the 2014 model in blue. Drove a while on a kawasaki 650, but i need a supersport. This will be it
went from a 2013 650R to a 07’ R6, no regrets at all
I got a 2000 R6 for $400. Just need plastics and coils.
thats a bargain!
'Yoshimuro'.... YOSHIMURA! It's literally on the can xD
my bad haha
The bike went really fast
VERY!
That's good
You will believe in heaven and hell if you get a R6 I got one...
wicked bikes
En güzeli 2006 model, 20 bin devir kesici kasası
Who put them mirrors on there?! Beautiful bike other than that 🤣
Haha was on the bike when he got it
@@RossReviewsau 😂
Still can’t decide between a cbr600rr or R6
Have yet to ride the cbr600rr
for my personal opinion the best 600cc ever done
It’s a very good bike
Motorbike tests too, I confident you will will be first to test our nuclear submarine. Be careful, Mr Ross.
HAHA! im keen to review anything with a engine i swear lol
Any bike can kill you got to be on your game
Very true bro!
How does yoshimura turn into yoshimyuro lol?
And my god, are those mirrors ugly.
I just bought a 2015 r6, delivering 14th October im so excited
Awesome 👏
Yamaha vstar
Awwwww yeah 👌
Keen on this one eh
Rossmovlogs
coming soon ;)
Can you stop looking down while riding? It looks like wombat country and I'm freaking out!
It’s just the way the camera was placed I guess haha I can Clearly see
💭Best when these would not be for sale on the street at all❎
⛔Not for street use🚫
Too much horsepower,
top speed too🖐for street use
it really makes sense to come to the street to play with these
I change the channel, can't stand this
I don't have no time for no monkeybusiness
Listening to you saying you don’t recommend an R6 as you’re first bike while I’m riding an R6 as my first bike for months now 🤪
Second comment on this video shows how good it is, I’ve clearly watched twice and felt the need to comment 😂
Not saying you can’t 🤣 just that’s a lot of bike for a beginner… if you are above average go ham bro
@@RossReviewsau I mean I did a direct access course and was learning on a SuzukiSV650 so that probably helped my confidence massively! I couldn’t go and buy a 300 after that 😂
How do you maintain temp on low speeds. Mine goes upto like 215 then the fan kicks in.
its a race bike.. it runs hot unfortunately if in traffic or at low speeds
