Need help, yzf r1 or r6?

[borsh85]

Hi guys,

 

I am thinking of getting either an R1 or R6. Is there any advice on which should I get? Personally I like a bike which has a better acceleration. Top speed does not really matter coz won't be needing it on the roads here. Does the R1 have a faster acceleration than the R6? Is the R6 much affected by the weight of the pillion? Hope you guys can give me some advice, thanks =)

hi bro. had a dilemma too like you. wanna buy r6 but in the end r1. didnt regret it thoyugh bro. the power is gd. hmm actually depends on whether u can afford insurance and all. think carefully. n another thing yamah is a hot2 bike i found out. the heat will need getting use to. if u gt the money buy a 1000cc straight. if nt r6 is just as gd. looks sporty n like a track bike. its the financial that counts. tc bro

[Blahhh]

My fren riding a r6 has his sprocket ratio leaning more towards acceleration. Can say when he pickup I can onli see his tail lite on my s4 -.- I am sure r1 can pickup better, but with the way my friend accelerates, any faster would be very dangerous on sg roads...

[aRcHeR]

acceleration r6 will win r1. it's the top end that r1 will own r6 anytime..

 

and r6 is a supersports bike, s4 is a naked street bike. how you expect to be on par playing pickup? cc win you, geometry/handling win you..

 

and a class 2 bike in sg to play pickup? -.-|||

Hey thanks for the reply bro, yeah in the end it's the financial that counts.. Just curious, which shop did u get your r1 from? Haha I think I've decided to get the '10 r6..

Hey what do u mean by mid range top? I heard from someone saying that r6 needs a higher rev before you could feel its power, what do they mean by that, can enlighten me haha?

Hi, with regards to the hot r1 mentioned above, it's very true.. i mounted my friend's r1 and the engine's really hot..after which i tried my another friend gsxr 1000 k9, seems much better..

 

just wondering if r6 would be colder compared to the r1? how about honda's sportbikes? their engine heat i mean =)

[benjamin_88]

R6 is also very hot! Never really hear people complaining Honda. Hmm, ultimately, it all sums up to whether can u financially support the bike. R1's maintenance, insurance and petrol consumption sure higher.

 

For me, I got a R6 because I can't afford a R1, even though it is a more powerful bike. But still, I'm happy with the 6. Heh heh..

I'm riding R6 myself and for me the heat still bearable if u wear long pants.

Even u ride at nite with cool weather, the average temperture is ard 75 degrees..

maybe u could break down into which model ur comparing with? cos all model is diff due to styling and aerodynamics.

[windless]

hmm comparing the 1000cc? r1, cbr1000 and gsxr1000, or the 600ccs, r6 cbr 600 and gsxr 600.. cos i'm still undecided on which on get lol
