Hi. I wrecked my brand new 2006 R6 learning to ride it. To keep a long story short, I'm a huge idiot who made a 10,000 mistake. I can't take pictures detailing the damage yet, but I can describe a bit of the damage. The front end of the frame snapped off that connected the front wheel/handle bars to the bike and the windshield and side view mirrors are non existent. The middle and rear end of the body is mainly intact, including the engine. The only major damage to the rest of the bike/engine (aside from the plastic flimsy molding) it is a dent in my headers and I believe the oil pan was ripped open. The engine had about 10 miles total on it. I can either try …

I don't want to sound arrogant but I've noticed that more and more people are joining this forum and less and less are saying hello. I know it's a miserable time of the year for most bikers cos they have to look at their pride and joy rather than riding it but come on it doesn't hurt to remain polite with fellow bikers!

Its seems to me that when ever we go for a ride and stop for a chat we alway's end up laughing about that near miss !!!! The best funniest story has gotta be my 1st crash !! At the time I was living in Redhill and working in Guildford, I'd not passed my full test, was on my NSR 125 and thought I was Joey Dunlop ! A friend of mine had told me a few day's before " Your not a real rider until you've had your 1st crash " Red rag to a bull !! On the way to work on a nice and wet A25 I found myself riding over every white line, man hole and pile of crap I could find. Then just when I was not expecting it, Out jumps a member of surrey's wild life. On c…

Hi can anyone please tell me how to countersteer as I have read alot about it but don't know how to do it. Many Thanks Gra Chesterfield

Hi Folks, I joined this forum back in 2005 when I used to ride a Fazer 600 which I used to commute the 2 hour ride to work, and the 2 hour ride back at the end of the day. I no longer work at that location so for my 30th birthday a couple of years back I chopped my Fazer in for the 2004 model blue R1 and not looked back since. No major tweak, just got a nice tail tidy with a half height number plate at the rear and a new bubble screen. Oh yes and I replaced the passenger seat for a colour matched cover, the rest is as factory spec. Not taken it on track yet, but maybe one day!

Hi Guys Myself and 8 other collegues are riding from John O'Groats to Lands End to raise money for Cancer Research UK. We're all Sportsbike (ish) riders, myself on an R6. We plan to complete the ride in 3 days, covering just over 1000 miles and not using any motorways. As a regular on this site I thought I'd post the link on here so people can have a look and get more info and hopefully use the 'DONATE ON-LINE' section to donate some money! http://www.thrape.fsnet.co.uk/jogle1000forcruk/ Also the MSS Discovery BSB/BSS Team have kindly donated a VIP package for us to auction against costs. If this is something you would like to bid for here's the Ebay link …

Afternoon all Had a quick look and there seems to be a few people introducing themselves so thought I might aswell do the same!!! New to biking - passed my test in August and have a 2000 plate FZS600 Fazer. Very happy with the bike and looking forward to going to the motorbike show to see what Yamaha have on show!! Can't afford another one yet though. Really enjoying biking. Even on my CBT I realised why so many people love it. Had a couple of scary moments since I passed my test and after having numerous cars thinking they can get out of that junction first, have invested in a fluorescent bib!! Every little helps! Always brings a smile when bikers acknow…

Hey all, my R6 has developed a rattle on tick over, it sounds like a you are shaking a bolt in an empty tin can (probably not as quite as bad as that to be fair)! As soon as the revs pick up it goes it's just on idle? It's difficult to say exactly where it's coming from but is certainly not affecting the riding or performance. Any ideas?

hi,just joined site having been on other sites but to clicky for me unless you have a 2/stroke hope this site is more friendly and reply to your post when you need help.

Hi im new to this site so i like to start by saying hellloo to all .... rite im not a biker but taking my full bike test in a few weeks time and i have all ways loved to 2001 to 2003 r6 but some many people are telling me not to buy one for my first bike.... so my reason for asking is what bike should i be looking at buying for a first time rider thats has been driving cars for the past 11 years?

Unbelievable - bought a 2001 R1 about 3 weeks ago and was woken up about 5am this morning as the alarm was going off. I knew they were popular but 3 weeks?! Anyway, this morn - I ran out of my flat to find the cover had been taken off, the front disc lock was on the pavement and the bike was lying on its right hand side. Picked the bike up and found no scratches apart from a very, very light stone chip or two on the side cowling can only guess the alarm went and they had the good sense not to drop it?? Bizarre... thought I would be looking at some new panelling. Couple of questions for you guys/girls and would be grateful for any advice: - I'm assuming i…

Hi, im being a total noob, but can somone give me step by step instructions as to how i go about it too how much oil i put in, i know the sump has to come off, do i flushed new oil thru and then refill, but how much..... kind regards, Derry

I did it!! I went on the back of my boyfriend's R1. It is great, all my fears were unwarranted. I really love going on the bike. We went all the way to Brands to see the Superbikes. I've been there before but never seen the bikes race. It was amazing. It was a desperate shame about Craig Jones, my sympathies to his friends and family. I think there is a very good chance that I will be applying to take my test in the not too distant future. I now understand what ALL the fuss is about LOL!!! Maria
