Mate if you see a thread like that it will be give up on bikes. When i test road the R6 today it took me back a few years and made me realise how much fun these 600 are! If it doesnt get my mojo back riding the R6 then i will sell up all together!
I need to get a ride on a demo r6 over the summer, dont give up biking untill you have tested the triumph street triple R if you dont get on with the R6
F3's sound and look bloody epic.... Didn't think of that! Good shout v Personally though, if I was buying a small road bike now, have to be 675r
Agree with Jimbo there perfect bike for road and track with that beautiful Ohlins suspension and quick shifter, not heard that many good reviews on the MV but it looks lovely ! But like the blade being top of the thousand crop, I don't think you can go wrong with the R6 big fan, loved my 99 R6 and still miss it now ! I don't know if I could go back.... But I can see why you are matey !, enjoy
Was at Silverstone yesterday & nipped in to Moto Forsa Italia. The MV F3 looks gorgeous, is now on map version 48 (dodgy fuelling sorted), and a matey had just chopped his 1,500 mile RSV4 Factory in for one. Apparently they're seeing a trend....
I've also been musing over chopping in the blade for the RSV4.....It's never going to happen, but the thought is nice
Why not mate? They are one awesome bit of kit... My next road bike will be Italian, but not an Aprillia
Ok change of plan! Now getting the white and red R6! The blue and white R6 was a 2010 model!!! I threw a fit on the phone at the sales guy/ owner as he informed me it was a 2011 model! However when I got home and looked into it the 2010 model was the only one with gold wheels!! I know all the 2010-2012 are all the same apart from cosmetic but I wasn't happy he lied to me! Grrrrrrr
Love the look of the 675R but unless your 11 stone the bike looks tiny, i am 15 stone and i look like i am sitting on a 125. The 675R is alot more ££££££££££££ over the R6, bit like when i was looking at getting my blade really fancied a 2nd hand rsv4 but 5k more than my blade REALLY would i get 5k more use out of it?
I've had a few of these; two for the track & one road bike. They are very fast for a 600 & make good track bikes. Didn't really like it as a road bike though; too twitchy & focused. This was my road jobbie; it has some really nice kit. Track bike. Just for fun (a couple of older models) R6 tastic!
