R6, 04 model. Thinking of buying what do you think

[crazy bunnyl]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a new 04 R6. I have been riding a Honda CB500S since I past me test 5 years ago.

What do you think ,I'm no mad head,too old for that.

Is the smaller front tyre an issue?

Anyones thoughts would be appreciated

I ride an 04 R6 and love it. It doesn't need to be thrashed all the time but is sluggish below 5k.

As for the tyre, some people like it some poeple don't if you don't like it just put a 70 profile on it, I'm not aware of any clearance problem with the mudguard.

I've left my front tyre as a 60 profile, I know someone who put a 70 on and they hated it after the 0 and went back, apperently the bike turned alot slower.
