This legit scared me... I dreamed last night that I owned a white R6 and I’ve never considered buying one until now. These YouTube algorithms need to chill.

Gotcha, no R6 for me as a beginner. Better start saving up for the R1 then

[amideadyet]

I've been told by every adult I know, even my condescending teachers in college and high school that I'm the most responsible kid they've ever met, and I used to believe it. A good friend of mine took a trip to Taiwan for a couple weeks, and she left me the keys to her R6. Nothing has ever made me so feral, such an absolute dickhead on the road. Just cranking it out in first gear off every highway exit ramp. Its been raining for the past two days and just cleared? Fuck it, imma take the R6 out. Roads are still wet? Who cares? I'm on an _R6_ bro. _I am the apex._

Had my first biker wave today, it was every bit as good as I thought.

If you have any complaints about the r6 you’re not riding it right

[pranzetti]

I’ve owned my 2015 R6 since 2016. Yes you will have to ride it like you’re mad almost but you can pretty much spank the crap out of it. Downshift as hard as you want with the slipper clutch to get into turns. And wring it out on straights like you’re going to break it. You won’t break it. Add a power commander and change the exhaust and this bike really opens up. Dynoed mine at 117hp to the wheels. I’m 160 lbs and this bike picks the front end up when first gear is pinned. Second gear shifts also pick up the front end. Lean forward a bit and that goes away a bit. Get steering stabilizer for your R6. Super fun bike

Started On a 2012 R6 never once regretted it, never felt like it was too much to handle but even after 2 years of owning it and riding daily I’ve never been let down by its ability to get up and boogy. I’m actually really happy I didn’t get a 250 or even a 400. I laid my r6 down once after a nice little sandy patch of dirt was in a very tight blind corner but my buddy riding a 250 also washed his front end on the same corner literally seconds after me

I Own a 3rd gen bought her 2 years ago street riding, commuting and first bike. Love Love this thing. I kept her under 8, 000 rpm's for the first 1, 000 miles to get used to her and I would recommend this to someone as a first bike, if they in fact 'have' something to lose and they truly 'value' their life then they can possibly withhold the urge to kill themselves by not respecting what this monster is. When you said it's like an angry wasp in a bottle that's the best description I've heard so far for this machine lol. Whoever wants this as their first bike should definatly say a little silent prayer to the universe because if you let the wasp out too early she will destroy you. The power band on this girl will scream in your ear and get your heart pounding faster and faster so beware it is more addicting than Heroin! so take this into consideration when choosing what to buy. Ride safe .

Dude, that flow to the sponsor was so perfect I still thought you were talking about motorcycles

[willbartels]

Got a 2018 R6 for my first bike... actually was perfect to learn on: easy (no) power below 8k RPM... put it in rain mode to start and as I became more confident I could push the bike more and more. Loved it and miss it but couldn't ride it for more than an hour without my legs going numb (I have back issues tho so cant blame the bike totally, Ive ridden harleys with the same issue) but damn is it sexy.

Papa Yam! I will be having my 2010 Yamaha R6 tomorrow. Thank you for all the riding tips and lessons that you have shared. I hope you live for another century.

I wanna see shaq make an r6 look like a grom

[chrisp.]

Saving up for a 2017 R6, started on the R3 and love it. The R6 will be the perfect track day bike and the R3 will be my commuter.

[gaelamerijckx]

the sound of an r6 reving up to over 16 000 rpm

[bcraw]

I’ve got a 2002 R6 with 63, 000kms, 2 sizes bigger on front sprocket, peppy low end torque. This was my first bike. Yes, my beginner bike. Never dropped. Always taken well care of. These things will last a time, if you take care of them.

[coltonrowlett]

Too late. Literally Bought an 07 last Saturday

[natefrye]

I have a 2014 R6 in SoCal. It’s perfect for my short commute and amazing to take out to the twisties on the weekend. I have a power commander and quickshifter. Absolutely love it
