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.
@@josueangeldelgado8816 Ah, spoken like the squidliest of squids. You keep on staying "one step ahead of the law" there buddy, until it leaves you 6 feet under. Ride safe.

I personally prefer the final gen (2017+) R6; looks way more aggressive, better aero, has drives modes, TC and ABS whilst still being as light as the previous gen’s.
I bought mine in March 2023. Use it as a daily. It's my 3rd bike but 1st sport bike. Absolutely in love with it. Would like to take it to the track but gotta be more proficient with riding. This will probably be my forever living museum piece.
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.
I have a 2008 R6 as a daily. Super easy to compute on. I also have a 2013 Daytona 675 and that I feel is more commanding at lower speeds due to high low rpm torque.
I ride one of these all the time for hours. I am 6'4 and 230lbs. I know there are more comfortable bikes out there, but it's greatly exaggerated how uncomfortable they are.
I had a vfr. Loved the bike but definitely isn’t the best “sports bike” it was comfortable as hell and could take the freeway for miles with good wind protection. Could have been a almost perfect sport tourer if it had 40 more hp
The 1st Gens have a little less HP and a little more Torque, I think around 10ft/lbs and You notice it on the Street. My 02's perfectly content putting around Town.
Some people said the Yamaha R6 engine 2007-2008 knocked so early, i need more explanation please about the engine, what makes the engine knocked so early??
@airnecessities3690 of course, that's the beauty of me being able to openly comment my opinion on the one I like. And you can respond with the one you like. It's great conversation!
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.
The R7 Guys like to Talk that Gutless Bullshit*t when there's no R6's around. But Their Tune Changes when ones right next to Them... Because it's typically not right next to Them for very long...
Yamaha really discontinued this model to make a new model for a couple years and then discontinue their 600cc altogether 😂 my god that is incredibly dumb
My 08's R6 was on rebuild almost 2 years, today i rode it to test (2 years i was riding 300cc street bike) and it was damn scary and dangerous for me, this thing is a bullet and much angry than normal daily motorcycles, for sure its not a beginner bike! For first, this is a track weapon, street riding is optional purpose for that machine!

Absolutely crazy that i just found out the r6 got discontinued, the aftermarket for these will make it extremely hard to find.
So black market for these in India
You still have a Race edition in most of the world you can buy
I love my ‘08 R6, it’s my bad decision bike and I’ve always wanted a “fast boy” bike for as long as I’ve been riding.
I don't think that's a reasonable question@@YernBelfus
I absolutely love my 08 R6 it works just fine for a street bike I have no complaints, there’s more then enough power for the streets
I personally prefer the final gen (2017+) R6; looks way more aggressive, better aero, has drives modes, TC and ABS whilst still being as light as the previous gen’s.
Why would you want drives modes? It’s only a 600 haha
It’s also less powerful.
Who drives 600cc?
@@fishingthepeje7557 tens of thousands of enthusiasts?
bro wtf are you on about. NOTHING comes close to 2006-2012 r6 design. NOTHING. prettiest bike ever made

Buying an R6 in two weeks. Happy to hear it's a great choice.
Did you get it???
i daily a fully stunted f4i very comfy n plenty of power to get around n still rips with all extra parts

I have a 2008 R6 that I’m determined to rebuild after an unfortunate accident that has kept me off of it for far too long.
Yeah gonna buy one next year.
Shits crazy good
The world is steering me towards an r6 (i’ve never touched a motorcycle)
These old and new video recommendation cant be a coincidence
They are very uncomfortable and it is said nobody can ride it foe more than half an hour except by sacrificing his spine to Yamaha
I ride one of these all the time for hours. I am 6'4 and 230lbs. I know there are more comfortable bikes out there, but it's greatly exaggerated how uncomfortable they are.
I was looking at this exact same model. Black with gold accents.
Iv owned one since 09. Enjoy the ab workout, boys. No pain, no gain. 😅
Daytona 675 or R6
Can we compare the 2 side to side
You have clearly never ridden a Honda VFR. (It's the best line of sport bikes ever made)
Opinions are subjective. And the VFR has been discontinued as well.
I had a vfr. Loved the bike but definitely isn’t the best “sports bike” it was comfortable as hell and could take the freeway for miles with good wind protection. Could have been a almost perfect sport tourer if it had 40 more hp
I've a VFR1200. It's a shame Honda killed the VFR. This thing is brilliant.
You have clearly never watched any other YN video because he has ridden a vfr 800 and a vfr 400...
Totally different bikes tho r6 is a short burst bike.. but I do like the vfr easy to maintain for regular use
I love my 08 r6 on the track!
The 1st Gens have a little less HP and a little more Torque, I think around 10ft/lbs and You notice it on the Street. My 02's perfectly content putting around Town.
What bike would you consider a great daily. I've been riding a BMW g310R for about two years and I'm readybto upgrade
I am thinking of buying one of those bike soon is it a good idea.
I love this bike it was the first bike I ever seen when I got to the us I need this bike I been flowing this bike ever scenes
I will keep my 08r6 for life
Some people said the Yamaha R6 engine 2007-2008 knocked so early, i need more explanation please about the engine, what makes the engine knocked so early??
The EBR1190RX is the best handling motorcycle made!
What do you all think it’s the best sounding exhaust for 2014 R6?
i have the 09 team yamaha version, but i thought i should have the brembo front master cylinder? i dont, i have a shit one,
Hear me out. Next modern classic. Daytona 675R
Squinty eye is definitely the best looking R6 to date lol
The Japanese designers think so also. 😆
the tail on this one is way more aggressive
Crazy thing is I think it’s the worst looking r6, WOW..everyone has their own lense they see through.
@airnecessities3690 of course, that's the beauty of me being able to openly comment my opinion on the one I like. And you can respond with the one you like. It's great conversation!
675r modern classic
Same here i feel you bro..
PLEASE DO A VID ON THE CBR500R THANKS!
Dude.. sorry but Yammie hates the 500R (I have one btw) as well as a 1000rr
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.
He has done, I guess 5 to 10 videos with the shity cbr500... Just search a little bit his older videos...
Honestly just for the styling. It looks like a super bike and sounds like one too. As well as reliability of course.
@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.
bouta buy one
Did they come stock with a leo vince?
nope
2006-2016 was the best
I don't know if it counts as a modern classic yet but maybe the ducati 899? would be really interested about that bike
2009 Honda CBR600RR enters chat 👋
Repsol Edition 😎
Aprilia Shiver 750
Modern classic... mt09sp
I have a new in box Öhlins rear for this if anyone wants it.
Yammie you got a new tattoo or what
Give away a Daytona 675,maybe even yours
not a 636 miss me with that shit

I have a 2012 YZFR6 she is my baby
Hi
not 128hp. check any video and i own a r6 with leo vince exhaust and it's properly tuned. makes 110hp, 2014 r6
I too have an 08 with the exact same leo vince full system as in this video with full race ecu tune. Might pay for the dyno just to prove you wrong
Nope, 07 08 CBR600RR
How do we get an entrey for the bike?
Buell 1125r
Get a buell 1125r or 1190rx for modern classic

I would shop YamCo $$$ for a chance to win a Street TripR 👉👍
I’d get an R7 as I heard they’re better for the street. But they sound like absolute ass
Never been this early
