Arrow Exhaust Yamaha YZF-R6

Advantages: Its light, it goes, it stops, it looks great and it scores an A+ in all these categories!!
Disadvantages: Its total race position, so if you want to do a lot of miles, you're gonna get wrist ache, and they dont like to go slow either!!

...My first encounter with the Yamaha was back in 2001, when i took one out for a test ride from our local shop. It was V registered, red and awesomely fast. Unfortunately it was also £6000, so i was totally outpriced and went off home with my tail between my legs and a persistant niggle in the back of my brain telling me to sell those kidneys and get that bike! I bought a cheap 1984 GPz900r and ran it till it died then went on to a 1996 ZX9R. it was lovely, incredibly fast but very heavy and difficult for me to move around. The R6 never left my system and found the hankering was getting too much to bear so after re MOT-ing my zx9r having only done 250 miles on it since the previous one i decided that now was definitely the time for change. Off i went down the bike shop, and there it was. The most fantastic blue (thats the most important... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, sounds good, cheap to buy.
Disadvantages: Makes a 50cc bike illegal at 16 just like any other exhaust.

...I have an Aprilia RX50 racing, 2006. I have an arrow exhaust on it. it was already on there when i baught it, but the standard exhaust restricted it to 25 mph, but the full arrow exhaust kit makes it go to 55 to 60 mph. It looks alot better than the standard exhaust. They are easy to get hold of if you want one. For a full arrow exhaust system usually costs around £185. Arrow make many exhausts for many different bikes. When mine had the standard exhaust on it sound like a broken hair dryer like a standard moped, but now it sounds like a 125 cc motocross bike. I learnt how to ride it in 15 minutes, that was the first time i have ever ridden a geared motorbike. Even my dad loves it and he has a Yamaha R1 which is 20 x more powerful. All those people thinking of getting one, get an arrow. Hope this helps.... Read review

Advantages: Lovely little package
Disadvantages: maybe to light!

...As the fifth bike I have owned and having ridden a few this Yamaha came as a nice surprise. Given that previously a Ducati 748 was as advanced as it got. All the toys on the digital dash the two trips the auto petrol trip were nice touches. as well as the getting up on a cold morning and just to know that the bike was going to start no questions asked. The quality of the bike seemed relatively high as well this given I only had it for a month before it was stolen, raising another point. The weight of it was amazing only about 165 or so Kg and you could feel it such a nimble bike. However this also comes as a mixed bonus given the ease that thieving scum can lift them into a van hence the short time I had to get to know the bike. In this time though I did manage to rack up a few mile in all conditions. As I said a lovely bike to live... Read review
