  • R6 Rocks.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jun 10, 2010

    This is my second bike,my first was a 02 Ninja 6.

    I have a 2004 R6 and i am just stoked about this bike.

    The power with this 600 is insane,not to mention the lean and turns are amazing,you can pretty much lean around going 80 and still feel comfortable.

    On long runs its not so ...

    But then again everytime i get on the innerstate i go 120.

    The power is at a mid-level RPM's i like it myself.

    I dont pull hard low rpm wheelies,and i dont have to wind to around 10,000 rpm,anywhere 4-13 rpm is basically the max pull for me.

    I love my bike.

    I doubt ill ever sell it.

    Always wanted one....love it!

    Quit whining about comfort, it's a sport bike not a rumbling couch. Power in the middle and top, fun, fun, fun. Daddys keeping this one! Yeah!

    bought an r6 6 months ago . i stay in cenral scotland so the twisties are never far away .2004 model is more suited to road riding compared to models of late. stock settings on the suspension are hard on rear so u will find yourself bouncing round corners. not much room for softning. live with that ...

    This is my second bike. I have driven an 07CBR and a 04 Honda Shadow. This bike is great all around. Its performance is very good, and it has great quality.

    I have never had anything go wrong with it. It is super smooth and I didn't expect it to be this easy to handle

    Great ...

    this was the second bike i have owned after learning on a 2001 kawasaki ninja 250r. i was utterly floored by the power handling and pure comfort of this bike. it was very forgiving and an absolute dream in the twisties. i did feel that it lacked just a smidge of power after i really got used to it ...

  • 2004 Yamaha R6 Review
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 26, 2008

    I have a 2004 Yamaha R6. This is my second street bike. First one was a 2004 Yamaha FZ6. I am 41 years young and was a little concerned about comfort being an issue. While the R6 certainly is not as comfortable as the more upright FZ6 it is not as uncomfortable as I first expected it to be. I love ...
