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!

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 !
