First Sport Bike

I have owned many bikes from motocross to large cruisers. Just amazing the handling and power this machine has. Getting back on a monoshock also has it's advantages. I thought by design the ride would be uncomfortable but not at all for me but the passenger finds it a little different compared to th...e sofabed my midnight venture had on it lol! Only thing I find hard getting use to at first here is with my size 12 foot getting use to the shifter. All in all tho I enjoy the ride. Insurance cost also is good. Read Full Review

DR6

This is my second motorcycle. My first one is just a kawasaki 150cc. I sold it right after i have keep enough money to buy yamaha r6.

From the looks, it will surely make other mid and super sportbike looks old and lame. Even B&w built their 1000cc machine look just like yamaha R6. check that o...ut and you will notice that.
This bike will be fun to ride if you go fast. if you ride slow, the engine's heat will increase and the fan will blow the hot air right trough you thight. thats is unconfortable. Anyway, this happen to all big cc motorcycle. They are built to go fast.
This bike will go wild when you have reached 8000rpm and can accelerate until 170++mile. It has not end yet.
If you are considering in buying it. Just do it. you will not regrads it. Or the best are to ride them all and make your own comparison. Read Full Review

hell of a ride

The 2009 R6 is by far my favorite bike. It is built for comfort and speed. all though it doesn't have much power in the bottom end, once it hits the power band around 10,000 RPM it instantly snaps to attention and roars with a high pitch scream that will dominate any opposers. Generally the power of... the top end would make beginners scarce of taking those harsh turns but once gripped to the asphault this bike sticks like glue.

The best feature that I have found is the new and much approved look. This bike screams speed and the huge intercooler tha is visibly shown behind the front tire shows that this bike is ment to be on a track.

I would suggest this bike to any enthusiast no matter if you are just a casual rider or an adrenaline junky like myself. Read Full Review
