GSXRAntwon Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Damn 16,200 is still a lot of revs though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I'll have one hopefully next month, got a deposit on it now. I don't really care that it doesn't sure it's disheartening they pretty much bold faced lied about it but it's still one pimp ass bike.

owndjoo Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 dont forget about the missing midrange. i'd put my money on a new Triumph 675 triple. The guys at KWS were the first to find this out a few weeks ago. it just now is being "broke" by the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 That bike was made for the factory teams to improve on at the track. It was never meant to be a good street bike. It has the basic tools for a fast well BUILT RACE BIKE under the current rules and that's it! Should still be a fun bike though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 i agree, the new R6 is gonna be a tough competitor. over 120hp about 4krpms of good power and supposedly handles like a 250. can't wait to see these on the track. Suzuki's gonna need to step it up. can't wait for the new suz. to hit the showrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinHawk1647545499 Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 i think on the previous years when the claimed a 15,500 rev limit it was actually like 14,500 actual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should still be a fun bike though.... +1, except for the fun part - who wants to ride around everywhere at 14,000 RPMs? I saw some dynos on sportbikes.net comparing the R6 to the 636 and the GSXR-600 - the R6 gets it's ass kicked EVERYWHERE except above like 14K RPMs. Here is the SBN link: http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/showthread.php?t=299647&highlight=yamaha+dyno And here is the dyno: http://www.motorfreaks.nl/fsget.php?id=16189 Look at how much the yammy is down to the 636 throughout most of the range - between 10 and 20 hp. Translation - not a good street bike and it will spend a LOT of time getting beaten in street races. Granted the Kawi has a bigger engine, but compared to the GSXR-600, the R6 is down throughout almost the entire range except the last 2000 RPMs. Ah...the Yamaha R6 - #1 choice of squids everywhere...

street pilot Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Ah...the Yamaha R6 - #1 choice of squids everywhere... is You really think the R6 is the bike squids adopt most? R6s have never been well filled out in the low range. The first gens had a wicked spike around 10K, but when it kicks in you better hold on. The whole scenario about the rev issue is disappointing, but most street riders wouldnt take full advantage of those extra spins anyway. If you really want to rev to 17.5K, just buy the race kit ECU. plug, play, done. Its still a hell of a bike, and I didnt hear the slipper clutch was a false claim yet.

lemosley01 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 is You really think the R6 is the bike squids adopt most? Nah - it's fun to say though. It is a sweet bike, just not a great street bike. I'm wondering when/if the pendulum will swing back away from race bikes to more streetable bikes?
