Yesterday I traded my 07 Ninja 650r in for a 07 Yamaha R6s (basically an 04' R6 from what I understand). Its had only one previous owner (a woman) who only put 850 miles on it. Looks in good shape, and is completely stock. I still got several months of the warranty left as well, and with moderate insurance coverages it's cheaper than the 650r was costing me.

After a full day of a group ride (200+ miles) I can say it's what i expected it to be, after using the 05 R6 Raven for several hundred miles in the past, I knew pretty much what to expect. I felt comfortable on that bike so I figured my first "supersport" should be one.

Future immediate modifications include:
- hotbodies racing undertail (to eliminate the rear fender in all it's glory)
- flush mountish front signals
- DB windshield
- yoshi slip on (maybe full system)
- PC 3
- and maybe some day an 05 R6 front end (inverted forks with hi/low speed independent adjustment and radial mounted brakes)

hoping to do 30k~ miles before next bike upgrade

 

nice upgrade..


I'd say slip on first.

 

^ +1

 

Thx John .. lol

slip-on over the full system? it's definitely cheaper but then again the full system isn't all that much compared to others (and undertail systems for other bikes)

 

Gratz I love the look of an R6, Hurry up and get rid of that stock tail tho!

 

^ thanks, and i will be doing so ASAP. if i get a chance tomorrow i'm going to take a dremel to the stock piece for now

 

oh I don't know, I was just meaning that big plain can needs to go lol.


you will have to research if the hp vrs $ is worth it to you for a full system over just the slip on.

 

grats man! goodluck with the bike!

 

movin on up

 

^ thanks champ

k will do, yea the stock pipe sucks .. i like the one on my GF's bike but i can't find it anywhere
