R6Ricky

Heres the latest pics i have of the bike, will try get some better ones soon The bike is also getting a nice new colour scheme in the next few weeks, so will keep you guys n gals posted Ricky

Alan Duffus Kirkcaldy is holding a Yamaha R1 launch event on Friday the 27th of this month, 6pm til 9pm, just wondering if anybody from here is going? Come on, i am (Theres booze for those not taking their bike, like me ) There are hopefully a few racers there plus some nice bikes, should be a good night. Ricky

Is just an idea thats floating around my head just now, might just put the money towards a full exhaust system instead tho. Ricky

Keeping it for the time being mate, i saw sense

http://www.noswizard.com/product_desc.php?id=69 Thats the kit im looking at, would probably also fit a progressive controller. And does anybody know if this would effect my Power Commander?

Ive been considering a NoS kit for the 6 for a little while now, and just wondering if anybody on here has any experience with it on a bike? Any feedback would be appreciated. Oh, incase your wondering its the 75hp kit ive been looking at, this a bit much? Ricky

Id also like a couple to brighten the bike up a bit

Haha yeah i thought you might actually

Those are the levers ive ordered, they look gorgeous on the bike mate, nice to see you also got round to fitting the Akra Ricky

A'll be there mate, hopefully still have the bike aswell Might just take it off the market til then Ricky

*cough*cough* Extra pass for Ricky *cough*cough*

Cheers mate glad you like it Thanks for the tyre advice also, its getting a new rear tyre on Friday as im considering selling it.

Cheers mate Its just i got offered 6k for it on a p/x, as i may be persuaded into an '09 R1 when its launched. Just depends how good it is come the test ride. Might just hang onto the 6 this year tho and change next year, but always good to keep the options open. Ricky

Also, what you guys reckon the 6 is worth private sale? You know the mods, 1300 miles, full service, 2 brand new tyres, no marks, very very passionatily looked after, im a huge 6 fan, the bike has asked for nothing, but received lots Id love 6750ono but would this be a tad high, ecspecially in the current economic market? I personally feel the bike is worth every penny of 6750, but its a buyers market im sure. Ricky

Im gonna change the tyres on the 6 in March when i put it in for a service, the rear is goosed already at 1300 miles Anybody got any suggestions as i personally dont rate the Dunlop Q's that came as standard. Ricky

Ive said it before, but im going to say it again, that bike is absolutely stunning mate!!!

Hi mate, thanks, you got pics of your bike on here? As far as the plate being legal goes, i dont know, id probably say no, but ive had police behind me and havent been pulled over for it yet, dont think they are too fussy to be honest as the text is still clearly visible. I ordered it from a website called http://www.craigsplates.co.uk/order/plate.php And its the "off road square 6' by 4 '". Its under show plates, not road legal ,so i guess that would actually answer your question But as i said, ive had no problems. Cheers for the link mate, i'll have a look. Ricky

Yeah spot on mate Am sick of it being sunny, yet frosty, as i wake up thinking i can get the bike out until i look out the window and see the frost haha.

Yeah heard of Auchtermuchty. You ever thru this way on the bike? Today i ordered another couple of bits, new short race style levers in black, and Yamaha crash bungs. Hopefully have these on Monday.

Hey thanks for the welcome. Im from Kirkcaldy mate, how about yourslef?

Hey thanks for the welcome I have complete respect for the bike, alot of power, ecspecially for a complete novice rider. Thank you, a think the bike looks stuuning now, was good looking as standard, but a few tweaks have set it off proper Rich?? Haha no i wish

Cheers mate Id seriously reccomend the Megafone, love it. Heres the newest pics i have of the bike, these were before the front mini indicators or tank pad were fitted, i'll take new ones for you guys this weekend Comments welcome Ricky

That is simply STUNNING

Hey guys n gals. Im new to this site and pretty new to biking in general having only passed my test in August. My mates have bikes and as usual i was the last to take it up, but never mind, sure this bike makes up for it. Its a graphite 2008 model, here it is the day i picked it up: The bike is now fitted with a genuine Yamaha double bubble screen, tank pad and single seat cowl, R&G tail tidy with smaller plate, mini indicators front and rear, Akra Megafone silencer, Power Commander and a BMC air filter. I have also removed the pillion pegs, does anybody know where i can get blanking plates from? On the order sheet is a full carbon race fairing and Galespeed Type C wheels in pearl white. Also buying a full race Akra exhaust, however will be fitting the Megafone silencer to this and selling the Hexagon can to my mate who has a gorgeous blue 2008 R6. I'll get some pics up of how the bike looks now when i get home from offshore, as i only fitted the parts the day before i came back to work, and havent managed to have a shot yet:( This is my 1st bike and have to say i love every second i get out on it, it now has 1300 fun filled miles on it. Let me know your thoughts and opinions guys, am i taking the bike the right way mod wise? Ricky
