Definitely go with the R6. I had '02 R6, until it was stolen, and it had plenty power when I needed it. I have since gone to the '03 R1, and when you are ready to move up, the R1 is select. Good luck and keep the shiny side up! E

I used to have a 2002 R6(that got stolen) and had the D208's on it. When I got my 2003 R1 it had the D208's on it and when I wore them out I went to the Michelin Pilot Sport. I like them even better than the D208's. They warm up fast and stick like glue. I only got about 5000 miles out of my 208's and I'm over 5K on my Pilots but still have a LOT of tread left. Try them out. I think you will like them.
