Really nice for the redline to be at 16.5k though.
That's why I name my bikeslol... me too. i'll be really sad when i have to sell the 6R. she's my first bike and like a first love... she taught me how to ride, and i get stupid ridiculously sentimentally attached to ALL my toys- be it my guitars, computers, cars etc. Ugh! Well, i'll deal with it when the time comes i guess....
i know this is a bit late, but here's a quick shot of me getting ready to ride the R6 for the very first time from the day i brought her home...
i've been taking her out several times a week late at night when there's less traffic and slowly getting used to her on the streets & freeways. she handles so light to the touch and has so much power... the weight difference and power are probably the 2 most notable differences. position-wise, i just move towards the tank and the weight comes off my arms nicely. and, my back doesn't feel so twitched after that. it is definitely a very aggressive riding position, but i think not too difficult to get used to once you wiggle around and find a comfy stance...
i still love the 6R and will be riding her in the canyons until i get comfortable on the R6... i don't need any surprises in the canyons, because anything can happen in a split second. and, i like the security of being on a bike that behaves predictably... at least at this stage of my practicing
PS Mike> did u read my post on my thread on the R6 forum? lol...
all in the eye of the beerholder... I mean, beholder... lolWhat do guys think?
Does the white rear seat cowl finish the look and balance out the color, or is it too much and look off?
