The 2006/2008 R6 design is still fresh unique after almost 20 years. No one could beat that

[monstereng]

In my opinion the 90s through to the late 2000s had some of best sounding 600cc bikes.

My brother's first bike was an R6. No, he's still with us. Great guy!

My first bike was a 2010 R6. A beautiful white and red model. Moved on to a 2016 BMW S1000RR and to be more than brutally honest, the R6 was so much more fun. Better in every way, bought another 2010 R6 last month - perfectly kept black and gold model with only 12.000km on the clock, all original! Giving it some love and care now, a complete full service so it lasts forever. Much love to the most wonderful bike I've ever set eyes on!

I always wanted a 2008-2009 R6 in yamaha blue with the gold wheels

Still looks modern and beautiful, aggressive but not pointy like an H2
And the proportions just work very well

There is a reason why bodybuilders from the 70s/80s still look good. They got their proportions right

Edit: 69 likes. Nice

This was, is and will remain my dream bike. I'm gunning for it to be my next bike. Maybe after 2 years or 4-5-7-10 years. I really wish I get my grubby hands on it in India.

I still have my 2007 R6. Bought it new. Sitting at 40k miles now. Full titanium Graves exhaust, 1 tooth down on front sprocket and 2 teeth up on the rear sprocket, and a power commander. Matching blue tinted tail light and HID headlights. Nasty bike.

Picked up my 03 R6 in 2006. I was not expecting that engine. I liked the look, fanboy of the Yam Rossi GP world, and was returning to riding after a break in 1988 (GS750). Back in the day the Kantana was my dream. Fastforward by luck found my R6. Joined a racing school to learn track skills. I learned every ride, something new, lean, knee dragging. Boy it loved to rev, that powerband, like a jet, so much top end in every gear.

This video was like a perfect sign. I JUST bought my first bike, a 2006 R6 in black yesterday. I am MOVING TO AUSTIN and you have one of my favorite channels on youtube. I was one of your first viewers on this video and am now a Yammie Noob for life <3. And yes my r6 is currently on stands floating next to my kitchen island just so I can stare at it until its registered.

Just sold an S1000RR M-Sport to get another R6, managed to pick up a 2012 in black & gold. Absolutely love it !

[MyUniQ]

Had one. Midnight black 2009 Rj15. Its not just a motorcycle. Its a poetry on wheels. Every 1k rpm that you cross brings a brighter, bigger smile on your face. Its an addiction. When i was riding this bike i had one goal.. test all roads for 200 km/h+. Every. Road. Miss my lady very much.. Sadly the european CO2 law is trash and killed the road 600cc. Nothing compares to the magnificent i4 sound hitting the 15k rpm. Love your video and will save it as a tribute for this incredible piece of art.

[locojack]

2015 R6 here. It is my track day bike and I love it! You cannot have too many bikes! My mom would not let me have any kind of bike as a kid.

[AlphaEngineer]

last year I sold my 2007 R6, it had a full aftermarket exhaust system and power commander, and revved out to around 16500rpm! I remember when I first purchased it and didn't even realise it had a shift light until 2 weeks of ownership, as soon as you hit 10k rpm they really start pulling, ill never forget that feeling, absolutely amazing bikes, perfectly engineered. the other thing ill never forget is how uncomfortable they are, 3 or 4 hour ride will mess you up for a couple of days.

I’ll never forget my Mum driving me back from my girlfriends house in summer when I was 17 and us getting absolutely gapped by a yellow R6. The rider was looking off and leaning into the sunset. I’ve wanted a bike ever since and I’ll be getting my first this year.

[Xyz-rey]

I’ve had my 08 r6 for a couple months now and I think it’s the sexiest and the most fun bike to ride, I love hopping on and just ripping it.

[jonathonlong]

What an amazing bike! Yamaha is forever the king. Can’t wait to see the content involving this bike.

[afox]

You nailed the script from the beginning to the end. The legend, two characters, R6.
I own one after dreaming owning one for almost 10 years, mine it's a 2013 R6, the one in Pearl White gold and black color scheme. Even today, after 10 years it left Iwata's factory in Japan people can't believe how it looks, the design it's outstanding, the engine sounds amazing, it is by far, the best looking 600 ever made.Yamaha. Period.

[mickbrandt]

love my 08 R6. it puts a smile on my face to hear its still relevant even 15-16 years after its making.

[boomerisadog]

I helped my brother set an 08 r6 up for club racing years ago. He ended up low siding it at the track at the end of the season and immediately bought another one lol.

[ApharmdCX]

In '08 I bought A 2007 R6 in gun metal grey for my first bike. I definitely should have started on a smaller bike but I had to keep up with the homies. Man, I loved her!
