APCh8r Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 So I went and picked a new bike today. Bought it off one of the STT instructors, per suggestion of Heelea (Lizard 1). The bike is beautiful and in mint condition, was put together very well. It is a 2006 Yamaha R6. I can't wait to ride it next season and get it dialed in, should be a big improvement once I get use to it. Looking forward to be on some newer technology and see how it handles.

Moto-Brian Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Nick-Glad to see you hooked up with Steve and got a legit bike. I think if you take it slow and learn the bike well enough, it will reward you greatly.Why don't you list some of the mods so folks know it isn't simply a street bike but rather a track bike in street clothes.From what I know:-Full Arrow race system-PC III-Sharskin race tail professionally painted in Yamaha blue-Ohlins UES fork kit-Penske Triple 8987 shockWill make a great track weapon.Congrats.
