Default Old Bike=Totalled New Bike=Fun

Well I'm sure you guys saw the thread on my katana being crashed by a friend of mine. All my Gear was a waste too.

Well I got insurance straightened out and went and got another bike yesterday. I love it. It's an 06 R6 used with 2000Miles I got it for 7100 with a 5year warranty included.

I'll let pics talk. And I have an undertail ordered. I can't stand the whale tail on the back. It also has a micron slipon




New Gear:




Feedback welcome

Yea, I acutally spoke to the guy that owned it before me at the place where he traded it in. He wanted an R1 but the didn't have any at the time so he bought the R6 and had it from March 10 to July 11th and traded it back in on a new R1. He was in his early 30thirtys and the bike had at least 1/2-1 strips on the back.

You went from one of the worst looking bike (IMO) to one of the best.

Nice bike. We can definitely start a group buy thread now. LoL

I just turned 3,200miles today on my 06 R6 and just got it last month. I ate all of the chicken strips too with BBQ sauce.

Just to see some of the new equipment up close the wife and I dropped by a dealer. He said the new Kawasaki and Honda 600's go for around $8699-8899, while the R6 goes for $11999...?! What gives?

It is an R6. The R6S has the same appearance as those of 03-05 models.

DAMN MAN! I thought I had alot of miles on mine, for the amount of time I've had it (2 months). You're right on my *** now, I have 3,3XX. Just got some new rubber for the bike today actually, I went with the same tires that come with the bike, supposedly the Qualifiers off the selfs are supposed to be a tad better, we'll just have to wait and see. I really wanted Pilot Powers but they were out of stock and I needed something asap. Anyhow, you're HARDCORE MAN!

So about the R6s and the '06 R6... What's happening to the '05 R6? I really want that bike later on.

Oh and what's up with tires that have lines on them like that one? OEM tire thing?
