Automotive News, Media & Press - Motorcycles Anyone: 2006 YZF-R6

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=2454&Page=1

my next purchase, summer of next year, screw this whole car junk :) no more 4 wheel investments till i get my r6

looks pretty sweet, i dont like the tailights and turn signals mounted on that "thing" hanging down in the back though, kills the sleek lines of the bike. otherwise i love it.

Anybody wanna buy a 2004 R6 with 3500 miles.....

damn that is hot! i also dont like the lights/plate bracket hanging like that. good reason to mold the lights into the body. that exhaust has to be insane!

I'm sure a few aftermarket companies would fix the looks of the plate and lights. Other than that, best looking bike hands down! :hail:

I like how it looks like the old R1 now, but best looking bike? That's a stretch IMOHO. I can think of quite a few better looking bikes...

Of the Japanese 600s, I think I still preffer how the CBR-600RR (http://www.2wf.com/articles/bike_tests/2A607888-AE28-4F26-BEF4-2BDCE05951CE.asp) looks (I dig the MotoGP styling)... but I guess that's just a matter of taste. FWIW right now I'm really eyeing either a Tuono or the new BMW K1200R or K1200S (http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/k1200s/index.jsp). The BMWs aren't very pretty bikes, but with Hyabusa-power and BMW-touring comfort, it looks like a great bike. This Tuono (http://www.2wf.com/articles/bike_tests/4587EC9D-D211-4610-9C0F-ED49D3181771.asp) is probably the sexiest most sinister bike I've ever seen....but I'm not sure if I'm ready to handle the fickle nature of an Italian woman :D

Haha, I forgot about those makers! I was kinda comparing that to the 600's that handa, kawasaki, and suzuki have.

I actually like the rear fender (plate holder/turn signal's) it's pushed out from the bike a little bit, but it's not insanely large like the stock fender was on my '04. That's something i could probably live with keeping on the bike. I am so buying one....i just need to sell my '04. Can't wait to hear what 17,500 rpm sounds like....

wow, those are some sweet machines shinkaze! :drool:

:eek2: that thing is SICK! Ive been a die-hard Suzuki fan since the 00 750s came out but the YZF series from Yamaha is so damn sexy lookin.

Only thing it needs is an undertail and exhaust. I'd like a regular pipe, or an undertail'd sysytem...that lil stump isnt doing much for me in the styling department, but Im sure it serves a purpose in function.

I think undertail exhausts are overdone. Only the suzuki's and the R6 don't have undertail exhausts now. I like to be different.

Just gotta sell this damn '04 before i can get an '06.

I like the x-pipe.

The black one = new desktop. I want one. :D

Dont get me wrong, Im not much on undertail exhaust either but as far as styling goes it works more than that stumpy shit (to me anyway) as does a regular style pipe.
