I had a 07 CBR 1000rr for years and when it was stolen I picked up a 2012 R6 because I had always wanted one. It's fun being able to actually open a bike up on public roads and not be doing 150mph. Granted the R6 is not a slow bike by any means. But you can open it up far more often than a 1000cc bike. I felt like I had to baby the CBR around so I wasn't doing triple digit speeds everywhere.
R6 and the 675r are hands down the best looking bikes, for me anyway. Panigale is amazing in the looks department but its also in another universe when it comes to price.
Cool video man, however I gotta say that features that you listed about the 2016 model are the same as the previous years, going all the way back to the 2008 model. The 2016 bike you rode is mechanically identical to the 2008+ R6s with only minor modifications made to the ECU over the years. Thinking that the 2016 model you test rode felt way better than the previous ones you have ridden was merely a placebo effect, or the bikes you rode previously had mechanical issues or were poorly set up in terms of suspension, tires, tire pressure, etc. Hopefully we can expect to see a totally redefined R6 for 2017, which we technically have to, since all bikes sold in Europe starting in 2017 have to be equipped with ABS which currently the R6 does not have.
you know there's only one way to make a motorcycle right lol. power, plus suspension. it's not like cars that need to add apps, airbags, crash tests. bikes just have to pass sound and emissions. but luckily we don't have annual smog inspections or stuff like that for bikes, so once you get it, it can be anything you want. there's not much differences in suspensions other than the electronic stuff. it's just a spring and shock with rebound/damping, etc
honestly I think yamaha are above everyone when it comes to sleek design for their bikes. look at the mt-09 and the finish and color matching on even the bolts on that and engine.
Rev limit has always been 16k ish. I bought a new one in 08 and had it 2 years and the 2016 is the same bike in reality. I fear the 600 class is dying out which is sad. It costs the manufacturers pretty much the same to develop a new 600 as it does to develop a 1000 but they have to sell them for less. With the new 1000cc hyper bikes i think it is a good time to resurrect the 750cc class in full. And I would love a Kawasaki ZX7R with about 145hp at the rear wheel.
the '16 R6, the '15 Ninja 636, '09 CBR 600RR (in red and black livery) are the best looking Super Sports for me, gotta get me a job during university and save up for my full license to get an R6 when i turn 20.. just a year to go on this 125 till my restriction is up
+kbent88 That's why a lot of people run their brights all the time, and with the trend toward putting HID bulbs in, I hate that. It's too bright at night. On my '03, people would pull over because I think they thought I was a cop due to the bluish hue to the lights and they way they kind of danced at night.
The biggest bike ever road is a Yamaha TTR-125. After 25 minutes ago. A friends Yamaha R6. And all I can say is woo babyy! Blurry and Powerful. with a good adrenaline rush and some quite shaky hands afterwards. Fun as hell. Not quite for me but I defiantly respect the race bike community. Stay safe out there!
Cool Vidz AK47s. I would like to buy one of these monster R6 one day. Smooth handling. Your vidz are done very nicely, with a good sense of humor. Thumbs up.
On March 25, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall notice for six 2015 Yamaha models that may have been manufactured with a shift cam segment stopper than can crack and cause shifting difficulties that may lead to a crash Certain 2015 FJ-09, FZ-09, FZ6R, Super Tenere, Super Tenere ES and R6 Yamaha models are being recalled for a potential gearbox issue.
I hear that from a lot of R1 owners. The seat looks comfortable just looking at it, lol. I made the switch to a naked bike because my back hurt too much after an hour on my old zx6r's. I do miss them though.
r6's are the sexiest bikes ever I honestly hope they never change the front of the bike and ruin it like they did the 15+ r1 and to clarify for people that don't know the r6 doesn't have much for gauges it tells you mph rpm empty gas tank, thermometer blinkers, high beam, neutral light and that's about it
my R3 has same problem with the clutch. and also the engine braking is quite excessive on R3 and R6. so when you are off throttle to shift. the bike has a lot of engine braking, and pickup so its a bit jerly. Im getting used to it suspension wise. the R3 and the R6 are much more damped. and not as high on the spring rate. this makes them really grippy, and forgiving. where as the older R6's were quite stiff in the spring rate. and now the Ninja have gone the stiff route. the ninja 300 and the 600 both were too stiff for me when I tested them. you are spot on with your impression. as its my feeling as well
I dunno, I hear "is that a ninja" a lot. Most people associate the word 'ninja' with every sportbike they see, the ones who aren't familiar with bikes that is lol
My 06 has outside temp if you check the digital speedo push a few buttons it's show it unless they got rid of that , an fuel warning comes up when you have 50 ks left but every good rider knows there shit when it comes to how much fuel is left. Cheers for vid.
2:53 is it leaking oil? Zero miles that's crazy Those mirrors and windscreen look much different than the '08 I have. It's near impossible to see past my elbows in the mirrors
Camera tip for you or whoever does the camera work/editing. Those fade-in shots can work, but you guys are doing the transition WAY too slow. When it's this slow, it actually strains the viewers eyes and it will actually hurt because the viewer's eyes are trying to get the bike in view, and the screen is trying to focus on the bike at a different rate. If you're gonna do a fade-in shot (Which this beginning is FULL of) please speed up the transitions. A lot. You're hurting us. Haha. Thanks!
Old comment but way to go giving constructive criticism and not being a douche! It's not seen very often on the internet, and agreed the bike needs to come into focus Alot quicker but otherwise great video!
its called a powerband. two strokes have powerbands. and the R6 has a powerband style engine. but not two stroke a 4 stroke. short stroke rotations high rpms. a liter bike has displacement for lower end torque.
I keep waiting for the 2016 R3 to come out, supposedly it will also get the Matte Grey but no official word. If it does, I am getting one this spring as my first bike.
I'm personally happy they havent updated it. Means my 12' and a brand new '16 are exactly the same. Besides, they have to keep the costs down on these things, only so much you can do.
I think the clutch comes in far out because most people "two finger" the clutch and don't pull it all the way in. they leave a little free space so you're not breaking your other two fingers
Wish they would build these with little superchargers on, Nothing crazy as may as well buy a litre bike but just enough to give it 750cc power but loads of low down torque then into the screaming top end. Would be awesome imo
Looking neat and nice is this good for daily commute and how is the handling and breaking of this bike I was thinking to buy a new bike and nice video :)
+TheAK47s I'm sure someone ells would've told you this in the comments already, but the 06 07 r6 did not really rev that high. It was a gimmick that they fixed in 2008
I've road alot of dirt bikes and two wheelers and I'm wanting to get a sport bike now. ive always been a fan of the r6 and r 1 but for a first rime rider on the streets what should i go with? the r1 is really expensive
Joey Tamayo is this fuel injected? I saw this in my local dealer for 10k and it's 2016 yamaha yzf -r6 is this the same one? I've tried looking up reviews but this is the only one That came up
from 2010 model engine is changed a bit so they increased the mid range power a bit thats the reason why u thing power comes earlyer, not it dont it just have stronger mid range power it still opens at 12 like it should :D i got 2012 year r6 black :D nasty bike ^_^ and i think its good that they increased mid power so u dont need to shift to lower gear to get abowe 10k to accelerate faster or to spin ur tire a bit ^_^ i am enyojing now from 7k as u say :D and from 7-12rpm is good but from 12 ^_^ thats when u realize that u are going above 200+kmh when u look at dash :D
Sam Stein Yeah turns out I'm gonna have to sell it anyway, I'm leaving for the Navy soon. I am gonna miss it but I'm looking forward to getting out and buying a new bike!
+Brudda K stay safe, man. And thank you for your decision to serve our country! I'd join if I could've gotten into MEPS, but I have medication to balance my blood pressure, so I respect everyone who enters when they're capable to.
brand new bike lets rev it to limiter ... dont know if this bike have to start slow but every onther bike i know will start at low rpms for 500-1500km (310miles-932miles)
Dude you don't have to do that anymore. The new engine cylinder heads are head treated so they shape with the cylinder block properly. The hard break in is what i see alot of people do today and it works, even riding it normal. When you don't let the bike or car rev high it's going to build carbon on the top of the head which is worse for the bike.
Have you had the chance to ride the R3 by chance? How does the riding position compare if I may ask? I'm looking at either this or the R3 as a fun bike to ride/daily commuter bike.
+TheAK47s If you push the "reset" button under the "select" button on the dash without holding it, it will change and show you the ambient (outside) temp instead of the engine temp.
The gauges suck still, so basic. They need to add outside temp, gear indicator an actual fuel gauge and steering damper. I wonder if this R6 has a quick shifter, power modes and traction control. I think the Ninja ZX-6R is the best 600 out there as we speak more comfortable, much better power distribution and now you can even add a steering damper as an option.
+Rene G. Solis My '12 GSXR 600 has a steering damper, fuel reserve trip, and a slipper clutch, in addition to all the other stuff that every bike comes with now. I'd say it's a bit ahead of the curve.
You should try that camera stabilization rig that RJ reviewed the other day. Might smooth out your panning. They're pretty cheap from China (Banggood has it). I noticed a lot of new bikes have clutch engagements that are way out like that. I have no idea what has precipitated this trend (something in racing?). Wide seat lets you hang off more because you can slide your ass way to the side?
+☣droid☣ I honestly have no Idea why Yamaha designs the R6 with such a wide seat. Its really uncomfortable compared to other bikes, as well as makes it harder for shorter people to reach the ground because they cant put their legs down far enough. And yeah, Im looking into a camera slider anyway. Just dont have the money yet. All of my money is going towards bills and fixing my R1
+Benjay1975 Oh wow, I did not know that lol. But I thought the cross plane engine works better with an inline 4 or 2 the cross plane engine reduces the vibrations and uses the crank shaft for power as well. I'm I wrong?
Me and my Family have ridden on many speed / sport bikes including the best from Yamaha the " R6 " . POSTSCRIPT do any of you know what the Tuning Fork Yamaha Emblem Symbolizes ? IF YOU DO THEN Please Post Your Comment(s), - Thanks...
You should go and sit on one. It's a talk bike but I've seen people around your height even ride liter bikes. Depends on your comfort and if you actually wanna sit and struggle to touch or touch one foot.
6'1", sat on one in the dealership. I felt absolutely in heaven on it. As a matter of fact, I'm currently saving up to purchase it with every paycheck I get! I'd recommend going to your local dealership and just sit on it for a while, and see if you start getting pains from the seating position, because everyone's body is different! ChaseOnTwoWheels is roughly the same height as us, I believe, and he rides his R6 on the daily!
It revs up as high as all the other models from 2006 to 2016 they all red line at 16.000 rpm i dont know what are you on about , the old model the 2005 one red lined at 14,000 rpm, i have never seen an r6 that revs up to 18,000.
When the 06 R6 was released they were featuring the 17.5 redline, so the gauges actually had the redline at 17.5, when in fact it wasn't accurate so the 07+ all had the corrected 16.5 redline. I had a 06 R6...and 09.
Should I start on this bike? I'm 5'11" and 150 pounds. I'm not looking to go that fast, but looking for something that looks sporty and gets me from place to place
You kinda sound like Mike Rowe, awesome! The R6 is an awesome bike, thanks for the video!
I can definitely make that correlation lol. I guess he quit "dirty jobs" hahaha
I had a 07 CBR 1000rr for years and when it was stolen I picked up a 2012 R6 because I had always wanted one. It's fun being able to actually open a bike up on public roads and not be doing 150mph. Granted the R6 is not a slow bike by any means. But you can open it up far more often than a 1000cc bike. I felt like I had to baby the CBR around so I wasn't doing triple digit speeds everywhere.
Fun Fact: A clutch that engages far out is a clutch that doesn't need to be pulled as far to shift. That means faster shifting.
SO nice you showed the instrument board, starting up, in a nice clear picture. They almost all forget that part.
R6 and the 675r are hands down the best looking bikes, for me anyway. Panigale is amazing in the looks department but its also in another universe when it comes to price.
IMO The r6 looks better than the current R1.

When I had my R6, people would stop me all the time and tell me that my headlight was out. It was cool that people cared, but got a little annoying.
+kbent88 That's why a lot of people run their brights all the time, and with the trend toward putting HID bulbs in, I hate that. It's too bright at night. On my '03, people would pull over because I think they thought I was a cop due to the bluish hue to the lights and they way they kind of danced at night.

The clutch isn't set up far our, it's just got a lot left, when your clutch wears down then it gets closer to the handle
Cool Vidz AK47s. I would like to buy one of these monster R6 one day. Smooth handling. Your vidz are done very nicely, with a good sense of humor. Thumbs up.
I don't understand how you say you've hated all previous R6s but you like the 16 when THEY'VE BEEN EXACTLY THE SAME SINCE 2008.
Yamaha has made changes to the ECU even though the bike is pretty much the same.
Traction Control is the difference man
2006*
Wow there are barely any cars on the road! Where the hell is this?!?
On March 25, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall notice for six 2015 Yamaha models that may have been manufactured with a shift cam segment stopper than can crack and cause shifting difficulties that may lead to a crash Certain 2015 FJ-09, FZ-09, FZ6R, Super Tenere, Super Tenere ES and R6 Yamaha models are being recalled for a potential gearbox issue.
I've never really liked yamahas, but I sat on the 16 R6 at the motorcycle show and was surprised at how comfortable it was compared to previous years.
+Linx77 Yeah I was very surprised. If you sit on 04-08 R1s however theyre some of the most comfortable supersports there are. Behind GSXRs of course
I hear that from a lot of R1 owners. The seat looks comfortable just looking at it, lol. I made the switch to a naked bike because my back hurt too much after an hour on my old zx6r's. I do miss them though.
+Linx77 The 09 R1 for me is comfotable too, I love it :)
+R1der22 sweet looking bike too 👍🏽
they're exactly the same since like 08

where as the older R6's were quite stiff in the spring rate. and
now the Ninja have gone the stiff route. the ninja 300 and the 600 both were too stiff for me when I tested them.
you are spot on with your impression. as its my feeling as well
I like your reviews. I like how everything is not " perfect " Thanks man .
I think when you say "600cc sportbike" you imagine the r6. It's the classic 600
+MorryMoto probably cause it's looked the same for ten years
+benjamin reynolds lol very true lol
For me it's the zx6r
I dunno, I hear "is that a ninja" a lot. Most people associate the word 'ninja' with every sportbike they see, the ones who aren't familiar with bikes that is lol
+benjamin reynolds Like iPhones lmao
I rode the 2015 and it felt much better than the older ones. Better powerband and more comfortable.
+archinuk417 I don't think they changed the comfort of the bike..? The seat and clipons/rearsets are all identical to the previous years
+Spence Rides they didn't, it's the same bike since 08. Which is still an incredible race-winning bike
My 06 has outside temp if you check the digital speedo push a few buttons it's show it unless they got rid of that , an fuel warning comes up when you have 50 ks left but every good rider knows there shit when it comes to how much fuel is left. Cheers for vid.
love my 04 ! as per looks i would just buy the 2008 model, no significant changes since...
I'm pretty damn sure that the R6s from 2008 to present are identical. If you rode the 08, you've ridden this one..
Bought that exact bike 2 weeks back and got rear-ended at a stop light a few days back. Never have I been so livid
Nice video,nice,the weather,god...I wish I was you there.
2:53 is it leaking oil?
Zero miles that's crazy
Those mirrors and windscreen look much different than the '08 I have. It's near impossible to see past my elbows in the mirrors

@@colecollett9517 Thanks mate! 😂👍
Wow ! This weather is perfect - the bike too :) greets from Germany.
I love the look of the R6, but its been around for 10 years and needs a refresh
+HEKTIC458 It is still the sexiest looking 600 though
+TheAK47s At least they didnt make it look worse like Honda foolishly did with their damn CBR 600rr and Yamaha did with their other bike, the R1
+TheAK47s I actually think the best looking 600 now is the 636 but that being said id rather ride an r6 or gsxr if im gonna ride a 600
it never readline at 18 that was a misprint on the 2006 and 2007 model. but the older bikes did readline higher just not 18
A verry nice first ride. The only thing i have to say is the wind botherd me alittle. But your attitude and riding style is verry good.
its called a powerband. two strokes have powerbands. and the R6 has a powerband style engine. but not two stroke a 4 stroke. short stroke rotations high rpms. a liter bike has displacement for lower end torque.
Are they ever gonna put ABS on these things?
I keep waiting for the 2016 R3 to come out, supposedly it will also get the Matte Grey but no official word. If it does, I am getting one this spring as my first bike.
I'm personally happy they havent updated it. Means my 12' and a brand new '16 are exactly the same. Besides, they have to keep the costs down on these things, only so much you can do.
best looking bike ever
why did they change the R6 headlights on the new model, these looks so much better
If I were to pick a color for my bike, I want exactly like that.
Bro I own the same bike you're riding here , I've had it for about a week , when you get up on em rpms THE POWWWAAAAAA is mad crazy
my head leans every time time you lean left and right haha
Linda R6 ... parabéns pelo vídeo TheAK47s
I think the clutch comes in far out because most people "two finger" the clutch and don't pull it all the way in. they leave a little free space so you're not breaking your other two fingers
Then buy a shorty Clutch lever
I have an 08 Raven edition, looks pretty much the same give or take a few stickers
Oh I love the R6, but same from 08 nothing change
Wish they would build these with little superchargers on, Nothing crazy as may as well buy a litre bike but just enough to give it 750cc power but loads of low down torque then into the screaming top end. Would be awesome imo
Looking neat and nice is this good for daily commute and how is the handling and breaking of this bike I was thinking to buy a new bike and nice video :)
I have a '12 R6 and absolutely love it. I plan to stick with R6 for swhile, or a R1 at later time. Great review :)
I have '12 50th GP edition. Makes me nut every time I hit the powerband.
+aiiSki lol I bet!
Yup, it's an incredible bike. I have an 08. I like it more and more every single time I ride it
Can the r6 get a crossplane crank plz???
+OGS IV Right?
+TheAK47s I'm sure someone ells would've told you this in the comments already, but the 06 07 r6 did not really rev that high. It was a gimmick that they fixed in 2008
+22bjonah that's true it only revs to 16.5k stock but with an ecu flash you can adjust it to 17.5k or higher
Nooo the crossplane sounds like hot shit
+tiredpandabear the R6 produces max torque at 12,500 rpm's and max hp at 14,500 rpm's so why would you want to rev higher?
could you test drive Ninja 650 2017 WHITE MODEL?

brand new bike lets rev it to limiter ... dont know if this bike have to start slow but every onther bike i know will start at low rpms for 500-1500km (310miles-932miles)
Dude you don't have to do that anymore. The new engine cylinder heads are head treated so they shape with the cylinder block properly. The hard break in is what i see alot of people do today and it works, even riding it normal.

Great review👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Have you had the chance to ride the R3 by chance? How does the riding position compare if I may ask?
I'm looking at either this or the R3 as a fun bike to ride/daily commuter bike.
thats a great looking bike form the front side angle!
Which years for the R6 are you referring to when you say “the older R6”?
It should have outside temp,engine temp and a timer for track laps.
+motoxfreak11185m It has a track timer and engine temp.
+TheAK47s If you push the "reset" button under the "select" button on the dash without holding it, it will change and show you the ambient (outside) temp instead of the engine temp.

I think the Ninja ZX-6R is the best 600 out there as we speak more comfortable, much better power distribution and now you can even add a steering damper as an option.

Mr. Ak47 I am newby in the bike world. Does the 2016 Yamaha R6 has a Gear Indicator?
Thanks for your videos. I follow you now.
You should try that camera stabilization rig that RJ reviewed the other day. Might smooth out your panning. They're pretty cheap from China (Banggood has it).

surprised you have to hold in the clutch for the ‘16
beautiful bike.
That bike sounds amazing...
i thought new cars/bikes requires Break-in period?, that requires you to limit the speed at a certain km of travel (first 1000km for example)
yep for dirtbikes buddy that is true, but for cars and roadbikes over a certain cc I think it's already run in when you buy it.
Texas has good weather most of the time
can you review the 2016 krt ninja 636 please im debating between a r6 and a ninja??
it has very subtle changes but that's actually a good thing. the r6 is beautiful so why change its shape.
how is ur camera mounted? And how are u able to test drive all these bikes?
Do you recommend the r6 for my first sport bike? I've driven bikes up to 250cc without any problem. Sorry for my english.
i'd love to see a new R6 with a sleeved FZ09 / MT09 3 cylinder cross plane engine and ABS
they already have that... it's called the trimph daytona 675r
yes, but the Triumph 675 doesn't have a crossplane engine. I wouldnt be suprised if the the next R6 was a triple, just to compete with the 675(r)
Taijean Moodie and yes, I own a 675R
+Benjay1975 Oh wow, I did not know that lol. But I thought the cross plane engine works better with an inline 4 or 2 the cross plane engine reduces the vibrations and uses the crank shaft for power as well. I'm I wrong?

I subscribed instantly due to your voice.
I don't sleep enough for this...
Me and my Family have ridden on many speed / sport bikes including the best from Yamaha the " R6 " . POSTSCRIPT do any of you know what the Tuning Fork Yamaha Emblem Symbolizes ? IF YOU DO THEN Please Post Your Comment(s), - Thanks...
I'd like to the r6 get a dash similar to the new r1/r1m.
the song in beginning is from the movie blow
enjoyed the video! ill be there in the spring ak
when was the last time they changed the r6?
Wait did you say it doesn’t have a fuel gage???
I'm looking at a 2011 r6 with 3000 miles is it to many miles? it was really taken care of.
3k miles is still brand new. My 2013 ZX6R has over 18k miles and still looks and rides like new.
I'm 5'3 and have an r3 right now and looking to replace it with a 600cc or something. Would the r6 be ok for me or look for something else? Thanks :D
You should go and sit on one. It's a talk bike but I've seen people around your height even ride liter bikes. Depends on your comfort and if you actually wanna sit and struggle to touch or touch one foot.
how is the seating position for a 6'2? any complains?does the bike feel tiny? i dont wanna be riding a small bike looking huge lol
6'1", sat on one in the dealership. I felt absolutely in heaven on it. As a matter of fact, I'm currently saving up to purchase it with every paycheck I get! I'd recommend going to your local dealership and just sit on it for a while, and see if you start getting pains from the seating position, because everyone's body is different! ChaseOnTwoWheels is roughly the same height as us, I believe, and he rides his R6 on the daily!
yeah, your right. i think motonosity is probably like our height and chase is a bit shorter but we get the idea. appreciate your time man. thank you
You have to sit let the body adjust
why they cut the newer model redline to 16k only
can you review a cbr 500r as an entry level bike
Can an R6 be lowered for shorter people??
good bike but those mirrors tho lol personally dont like them
Ninja Koala I agree I would change them tbh
忍者無尾熊 me neither
It revs up as high as all the other models from 2006 to 2016 they all red line at 16.000 rpm i dont know what are you on about , the old model the 2005 one red lined at 14,000 rpm, i have never seen an r6 that revs up to 18,000.
When the 06 R6 was released they were featuring the 17.5 redline, so the gauges actually had the redline at 17.5, when in fact it wasn't accurate so the 07+ all had the corrected 16.5 redline. I had a 06 R6...and 09.
can you touch more on the handlebar comfort?
that's weird. My 2010 has time, engine and outside temp,lap timer, 2 trips and odometer
+PastyFace609 my 06 does too
Hello! Is it possible to visit you?
wha bike you recommend for me im 5`8`` thanks.
Should I start on this bike? I'm 5'11" and 150 pounds. I'm not looking to go that fast, but looking for something that looks sporty and gets me from place to place
Get it bro, I recently purshused this bike and I love it so far runs smooth.
Yeabroahh are you a new rider tho?
+Vikram Bharati I went ahead and bought 300 just because insurance was so high on a 600.
OLDEENGLISH931 like how high. it also depends on a lot of things. like wether or not its used. Im prob gonna get it used
No Buy the r1 it's more slower and sounds AMAZING .
2016 r6? i tought it is a 06 or 07 or 08.....or2015....
