  • I love my r6

    Handles better then any other 600 on the market. I don't understand some of these other reviews when they say they love it but only give in 1 or 2 stars.... you all make no sense. If you love it give it 5 stars. There is no reason that ANY 250 "sportbike" should have a higher rating that a 600.

    I have a 2012 Yamaha YZF-R6 as of October. I got the Raven and I love it. It has a really good mid range and high range. It's fast as hell and up to about 100 mph I can stick right next to my friends on 1000cc bikes. It looks amazing and I'm constantly getting compliments. Really my only complaint ...

    I'm not lucky enough to own one but my sergeant does. He says this bike is the best because its easy to handle, looks cool,and Yamaha makes the best better than any other bike out there. Don't go anywhere but Yamaha.
