It's funny that most of the people online complaining would most likely never use the bike to its full potential and would never have hit peak revs

These are the dorks who red line their bikes sitting at a light

You’ve been making videos for some time and you have come a long way!

Yamaha's 2007-2015 R6 is just plain and simple - awesome! Makes a superb track/race bike and the looks are so 2024 👍🏻

Several years ago, I watched Crash Test Goat here on YouTube drive a R6 like a R1 for many videos and that R6 never gave him any problem. Goat essentially drives a half a MotoGp race in every video regardless what he drives.The R6 was an unreal well designed and built machine. I do not think we will ever see a bike built as durable as the R6 was ever again. It was truly a street capable track bike built for track racing. What a stunning achievement from Yamaha.

I personally don't care, my R6 is the best bike I've ever had.

[ride_along]

Yet R6 are very competitive in mist of the tracks and changed the Market forever!

Yeah, the best 600cc supersport EVER built!

[milliebays]

Owned and sold them. Noone ever complained. Not one person

[VBMichael_D]

They committed more fraud by putting an I3 into bikes they've designated as a supersport. Why not just make the R6 a 3 cylinder as well, Yami?

I got the 50th any right when it came out based on the 17.5k. Yamaha NEVER offered to buy it back etc.

[RDSSPIEGEL]

A 90 sec video dragged on for 5 minutes. Only reason to watch, it's about the greatest bike ever built. R6 baby.

no brand wars but honda will outlast yamaha. yamaha is a great bike tho, but I'll choose honda for track. and because of its bulletproof engine, meaning if i mod it, it can withstand the pressure oft the mods. and u will have a peace of mind abusing that machine without worrying.

[emanuelromero]

Cool like the information very entertaining

[fancydan]

I think the bigger problem was that they caught on fire.

[caveyful]

There actually more of this going on than u think.

Really i used to work for a Bama Honda Kawasaki. We got to see all kinds of stuff but Yamaha was my Favorite and was friends with owner of a Yamaha shop. I purchase a 1981 Yamaha Seca 550 Yeah 1981 Yamaha Seca 550 They all said it run a 109 miles an hour. And run12.99 in a quarter of a mile. I just took 4 in to 2 Exhaust off and cut 3 2" holes in the air boxes That bike was fun only 528 cc 9.1 Compression, And Weight 424 pounds half tank of fuel and only made 50 horsepower at the crankshaft. With a 10.000 red line. But it was more like 15.500 rpm 137 mph O with a little Benzing, it turns 7.57 in a 1/8 mile. With just 528cc 9.1 Compression, Oh, and I still have it and 3 RD 350

[dougiequick]

Well seeing as it is a GIVEN that ALL the HP figures from every brand are BS how many buyers even cared? I mean really?
