Yamaha YZF-R6 Reviews

I recently purchased a 2002 yamaha R6 about 8 weeks ago. Immediately you get the feeling of being in the presence of a very impressive motorcycle. First things first: Cut the bike tail section off of it (looks kinda lame). If you can, also pick up a tail-light integrator so the rear tail signal lights can go also. Also pick up a new ...

This bike, I class as the little brother to the beast of bikes the R1(see review). Having only ridden this bike for 4 hours, it was clear to see why this bike was made.

Hi I rode an R6 last Saturday 01/07/00 and wow for a 600cc it kicks some butt.
