2008 Yamaha YZF R6S

I compared motorcycle for over 12months before I bought this motorcycle. I looked at the Triump Daytona 675, Yamaha R6 08, GSX-R 750, Buell, and the Kawasaki Ninja 600R. Hands down my 08 Yamaha R6S was the best pick. I can ride my bike for over 12hours straight for one. Yes...12hrs straight, none ... stop. Ride, fill, ride, fill, ride, fill, ride, fill,ride, fill,ride, fill, ride. I have had this bike for 14months and have already put 27k miles on it. Still on my third set of tires(Mitchellin Pilot Power). Replaced the spark plugs at 18k. Oil changes every 3k. I know alot of guys that ride and I see their bikes always needing this or that...and they dont even have over 10k on theirs. If you want a compfortable SuperSport bike, fair priced and low maintenance...Yamaha R6S is your ride...

Best bike I've ever owned. awsome looking bike, tons of power, and rides on rails. I plan on holding on to this one for a very long time, and if I ever trade, it will be for a new R6s.

The bike is one of the best Yamaha has put out. It has comfort, power, flick ability, reliability, and looks. There is a reason why Yamaha is still making it in the U.S. It's the new YZF-600r with better looks, less weight and a second gear that works. It's the 03-04 bike with an 05 remapped ECU. ... It's a proven bike, tried and true.

To the people that gave it a mediocre comfort rating, have you rode any other sport bikes? It has the best comfort you're going to get out of one. If you don't want slight wrist fatigue, sore neck/ back after a long ride, you bought the wrong genre on bike. It will also stay even with the 06-09 R6, face it you're not Rossi. The bikes of today are so true to the race breed, 95% of riders can't extract what the 06-09 or other new bikes have to offer.

great bike. also my first bike easy to learn on. great price and just as good as any. over 8,000 miles in 3 months and havnt got bored with it yet.plenty powerful. the bad-oversize ugly exhaust and huge egg like turn signals

Great bike lacks some power down low but makes up for it as the rpms go up!
