Corny title I know..... Its not a R6 you say....can't be much good....Don't you believe it. It'll do anything an R6 will do (p'raps a little slower) and more.

Had several other bikes including Suzukis and Hondas but the closest to this was my Fazer. Hogs the bends, loves being thrashed but just a little jumpy at low speed, usually have to drop a gear or two and keep the revs up. Parts are readily available on the net if you can DIY you will save some money! Find a bargain second hand one and have some ...
