aroughcircle Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi everyone! I am new on this forum, so will introduce myself: My name is Ventzi. Last year I bought 2 R6's (from a mate that did some racing) - A road bike, and a complete bike that needed alot of putting together (He had been taking bits from it as spares for his track bike) Anyway - Both are the early carb models - the road bike being the updated model with twin rear lights, and project bike being a 1999 early model. I loved the bike, and did alot of miles in a few miles - and quite comfortably did a bit of touring here and there - once even with the girlfriend and a set of soft panniers on the back! Anyway - I sold that bike, and now need another one to do about 20-25 miles a day commuting and obviously weekend riding. I would love another R6 - but I have been thinking about getting a new FZ6 Fazer - Yamaha are currently doing 0% finance on them. I was just wondering if anyone has the 2006 or 2007 models - I know that Yamaha brought in the S2 for 07 - and now they have the S2 and a lower bhp model. But I have found a bargain - a brand new 2006 model in black, for £4199, with the 0% finance. Obviously, for a 2006 model, it isnt an S2 - but was wondering - in 2006, was there just the 1 full power model, or were there the lower bhp models? I like the S2 - but to be honest, if I get this 06 model, I am saving around £1100 - which can pay for insurance, nice end cans, little mods here and there etc. Anyone have the 06 model? Is it any good? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! i have got an ABS 06 model. i am very pleased with it. the only thing i don't like is the indicator repeater ( warning ) light. it is too small. nice bike to ride. i do 40 miles a day and thoroughly enjoy every one of them. saying that, i would go for S2 !
