Yamaha YZF-R6

[billybombers89]

Actually, I don't know if I should be happy or wary. Coz I brought the bike from iMotoring in a rash act. And after reading a few feedbacks, kinda felt sian..

 

Worst part, forgot to ask for servicing and WARRANTY.. ****.

 

lol... imotoring...

[tongkol]

y sian? wad kind of feedbacks? now still not sure shld i get R6 or ZX6R.. hmmm... btw im 1.72. Am i too short for this bike? =S

Looking for a sport or naked machine?

I'm 172cm and on my 08, while both foot rooted to the ground, I'll have to tip toe. The bike have lots of power and sadly I'm selling this race queen. You can find my link in my signature.

cuz excelcycle recommended me this bike (2nd hand) with only 2400km on it. 09 model.

Do u guys ride ur R6 daily? like a transport bike to work..? or is it even possible?

[danielsin2]

No diff leh... I riding 06.... my friends riding 08 and 10 both bike can go up to 280++

I still prefer the 06/07 model outlook.

2009 model with 2,400km mileage is under utilize.

I rode my R6 to work (commuter) bike. Now I have a bad backache and force me to sell the bike.

1000cc I'm my own opinion is to much for a commuter ride. Presume you didn't ride up north often. But that naked bike (z1000r) is one nice exterior looking bike. Do a little of research among the other competitor, in that class. I'll be getting a British naked, voted the best street fighter since 2009, 2010 & 2011 from several international motor cycle reviews. Price wise astonishingly its pretty much cheaper than the Japanese bikes.

Just to butt in, from previous post back in 2007-2008, the 2006 and 2007 have TPS issue, other than that its perfectly fine bike.

Then in 2008 onwards the "TPS issues" was claimed being rectified.

Also from this thread back dated to 2007-2009. There issue about power cut, I'm really unsure of its reliability but seems that after 2008 model, all R6 have a limiter. These statement was shared by those whom track oftens.

Then in 2010 till date, the exterior looks exactly the same as 2008 & 2009 model, minor change to the exterior is the longer exhausts which did not pass the EU standard, thus its being made longer.

 

in a nut shell

2006 & 2007 model: the specification are same for both year, different is only to the color scheme; drawback is the TPS issues

2008 & 2009 model: the specification are same for both year, different is only to the color scheme; some claim that there power limit in the 2009 model & fairing are completely difference from 2006 model.

2010 & 2011 model: the specification are same for both year, different is only to the color scheme, exterior same as 2008 model difference is the exhaust - slightly longer.

2012 : there could be a new facelift, specification most probably same as 2010.

 

**every year, when launching new model Yamaha will have to claim that they have enforce new motogp technology or rectify any flaws found. That's purely market strategies.

 

This are some of the input back then i read from fellow forum-er.

[clarencelim]

I believe if you do not want to tip toe on r6. You have to be at least 176cm.

yeah 2400km. quoted 16.5k for machine price. and bike has been dropped before while parked. sorry its 08 model with the under-seat exhaust. looks sweet.

 

Man, dont wanna end up with backaches. Yep, its one super nice Z1000r. saw one on the road and stunned by its looks. anybody know of Aprilia's Shiver 750? or anyone riding one here?

2008 exhaust under seat? Could it be R1?

 

You looking at Shiver? I almost get it, but decide on Triumph Street Triple instead. Check out the review middle weight street fighter.

Damn! Im only 171cm!

 

==============================================================

 

I think I'll settle for a 06 or a 07, preferring the latter cos of its COE.

 

My eyes are frantically glued to SBF to find a nice deal coming up!
