    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!

      @@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 ...

    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

    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 😉👍

      @RossReviewsau  Před 2 lety +1

    ⛔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
