| Newbie Joined: May 2012 From: Corvallis, OR I Ride: 2007 Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja | Yamaha r6 Looking for an r6. Preferably a 2004 to 2008. Not looking for anything more than $5000. I live in Corvallis, so I would not like to have to go any further north than Vancouver, WA nor further south than Eugene. Thanks |

The <'05 year R6 and the R6S will be a much better street bike - definitely more comfortable with a bit more midrange. I personally also really like the look of the older R6, the newer models seem... overwrought with their goofy plastics designs. I'd wager someone would have much to complain about the brakes on the older R6 they were always considered very good. The difference radial mounted calipers make in overall brake performance is fairly small. |
