I kept riding my friend's R6 as I mentioned in the other thread and more and more I loved it.Sweeet! I love my R6... it is an amazing machine!
So you buy new? Year? Color? Come on man!!!
I have also learned to sit closer to the tank if I want a more upright position. I can sit very comfortable up closer to the tank and I am pretty upright.

I bought it used, when I tried to buy it new I couldn't because my co signer just bought a brand new R1 and so I couldn't extend my credit limit.
First thing I thought for another bike is that I want it black, then they didn't have any new black ones so I decided the orange. But I couldn't get new so I looked at some used and settled on a 2007 Raven R6. With only 3,100 miles on it for 6,700.
Traded my FZ6-R in with 7,550 miles for 5,500... pretty sweet deal there.
Of course I'll stick around but I won't be as active as before, I'll leave all the use the search button threads to roaddawg, jonkerr and the like.
First off pictures as mentioned. I wanted to actually sleep in the garage because I didn't install my alarm on it yet. I'm waiting for tuesday when I get my lowering links in so I can actually ride! Right now it's about 33.5 seat height and the tail is really really HIGH! I'm probably going to lower it 3 inches.MikeN02, congratulations!

What was impression from R6 riding position, how do you feel when you riding on the street?
I many times tried to sit on R1/R6 and have found that probably it would be tough for me to ride like that.
If I sit really close to the tank then it's an upright position, just that the bars are lower. if I sit further back and use the seat to the fullest then I'm basically laying on the tank.How do you find the seating position? I tried out a CBR 600RR and absolutely hated it... but I heard the R6 was even MORE aggressive than the CBR... I'm a 6 footer though and the supersports are somewhat problematic for me.
