redrocket04 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Went out for a birthday ride today. Not a lot of good roads to be found around Columbus, but it was still nice to get out and away from all the traffic, even if just for a short time. So far, this is one of my best birthdays. First time I ever really got onto the bike, and I'm more in love with it now than I was before. Prior to today, I'd never been over 6,000 rpm. I know, laugh. Holy crap, it's like a whole different bike above that, though. Anyway, I don't have a camera mount, so I've just got a couple of pics, but I guess they go in this section.

redkow97 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Prior to today, I'd never been over 6,000 rpm. Holy crap, it's like a whole different bike above thatI feel like it really wakes up at more like 8k, and hits its stride at 10k, but yeah, I-4's can be pretty "Jekyll & Hyde" that way.There's nothing quite like getting good drive out of a corner and taking the bike up through a couple gears at WOT....damn I need a trackday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 i loved my old 06 cbr600rr.. it was heaven from 8k and up.. loved to sit in the 10-11's and of course has more low end punch than my r6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 According to the dyno, the power curve tops out at about 12K. If you've truly never been above 6k, I can only imagine the smile on your face as you neared peak HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
