    I daily my R6, and have been doing so for about a year and a half now. Let me tell you something, if you want something more comfortable, maybe you should just get a Honda Accord. Or better yet, a minivan.

      @@YernBelfus ok boomer, let me hit you with some knowledge. When I'm on my R6, I'm a whole different person. I push that bike to its absolute limits. I should be in jail, but I'm not, cause I stay one step ahead of the law. Now go cry your eyes out because your wife won't let you buy a Honda Rebel 250.

      The the catch with track days, you absolutely DO NOT need to be a cast rider or proficient to attend. If anything, they want you to be a less skilled rider so you can learn proper fundamentals. Honestly sign up now! The best time to ride the track is when you know less, so you can learn from proper riders and not random people on the internet who will give you bad advice!

    You'll hear a lot of Guys Saying They're "Gutless" at lower RPM, but this is a misconception.. They're Gutless compared to Themselves. Theres a huge difference above 6-7k that it "Feels" Gutless at lower RPM. But so does pretty much every other Bike compared to an R6's Powerband.

      What's your budget? The 500r is the most expensive in the class with little to show for it. It makes less power than the Z and ninja 400 in the US market, and cost about $1500 more.

      @lybahussain7407 it's quite reliable and does look pretty good. But the sound is nothing special imo. It's not nearly as raspy or insane as supersports, or grunty as cruisers. It's just a decent motorcycle.

For first, this is a track weapon, street riding is optional purpose for that machine!
