boova Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I am so excited. Picked up my new R6 on Saturday. I did have a J1 ZX6 and the difference is amazing. Of course I couldn't pick up just the standard model I have had a Micron high level stainless steel can put on and a cowl. I have short legs so they have also pushed the forks through the yolks for me to lower it a bit, and have also taken off the back foot rests so it looks like the dogs b*****ks!!! Of course fingers were crossed on Saturday night down the pub that the weather for Sunday would be dry and not quite so cold............and God answered my prayers. 7am and I was looking out the window waking up the hubby. Finally got out on it at 12pm. Smile smile smile. I LOVE IT!!!! Well just thought I would let you all know and probably have bored you all silly. Anyone that is thinking of getting one don't bother thinking about it, JUST DO IT Will get some piccies taken and post them. I am in love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted January 25, 2005 Admin Share Posted January 25, 2005 I came sooooo close to buying one last year when yamaha were doing their interest free 4 year credit! But going away travelling made me change my mind Glad your enjoying it, and hope to see you online more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozehound Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I got mine at the start of January but thanks to the usual monsoon weather up here I've not had much opportunity to ride it. Last couple of weekends have been great though. Incredible bike, I absolutely love it. Read a lot about it being twitchy, unstable and prone to tankslappers (it's a 2000 model). Have to say I was on a few rough roads at fair old speeds and, although I could feel every imperfection on the road, it felt pretty solid. Touch wood!
