Nice. I figure when I fullly get back into moto I will just get a ducati. Idk whether or not to have a ducati on the street and/or track or have an r6 on the track.

 

1000RRs can be had pretty cheap, a few years ago they were going for 8 OTD. Best litrebike out besides the kawi and BMW

 

 

I hated my 06 r6!! Worst bike ever to ride around town!! no tq till 9-10grand!! the 05 was way better in terms of overall usable power for everyday use.
BUT BUT BUT... the 06 was at home on the track!! And it looked sick as hell!

 

yeah the 06 looks really aggressive compared to the 05.. for the power wise, i never really noticed a difference. i guess thats because i just had a bike to cruise.. never really stunted or tracked

 

Yup, exactly. I rarely rode the 06 around town. I put 95% of its miles on the track.

I had 3 03-05 r6's and they definitely were fun for the street. Made me always question the people who said they had to have a 1000 to have adequate power.

 

the best 600 I have ridden (normally hate them as streetbikes cause no torque) was the 05-up 636. Had decent torque, screaming top end, and a slipper. Loved that bike

 

I see some fellow BARFers on here...ahaha old pic from a Fremont meet (when it was still in Fremont)

 

My superhawk is now a streetfighter project and my Duke is ****. I don't think I'll put too much money into my scoob though, most likely I'll trade it for another bike in spring

 

As much as he gets hated on, Hayden is a boss

 

So I have heard. I've never gotten to ride one, but that extra 36cc supposedly is the key. Slippers are fun for sure. I remember my r6 at the track. Coming into a corner from the front straight of whatever track and just feeling that rear tire slip and grab as I slam down the gears. Miss my bike now.

Hayden is a boss. He's very underrated. I want to see him come up a little more next season.

 

yes the 636 is just awesome, 102mph in 2nd gear :O

 

It's pretty amazing. My 06 r6 did 72 in first and over a 100 in 2nd. It had an 18,000rpm redline though.

 

For those who are in the market for a bike, my dad is selling his R1.

Oh **** it's the big bang motor. those sound meaaaaaaaaaaan with an exhaust. Is he healthy or selling cause of health probs?

Edit: Oh wait I think I've met him before, wasn't he using that solely for commuting? Maybe late 40s early 50s?
