    5 Stars R6 - Haven't stopped laughing yet...updated Jan 09 & April 09 Review with images 07/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, furious, handles great, accelerates great, stops brilliantly, looks wicked. Cheap insurance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ugly end can. That's it.

    I ordered an R6 after demo'ing one in January 2001. My FZR 600 had a persistant over-heating problem and I was having trouble keeping up with mates on bigger bikes so I took an R6 out for a blast. Within 5 minutes my grin was so wide I thought the top of my head would fall off! And I haven't stopped yet! The combination of lightweight, power and handling combines into an insurance friendly package that has the capability of beating any other bike through the twisties and only loses out to bigger bikes on top end speed and torque out of corners. I bought a 2000 model in March 2001 for just over ... more

    5 Stars A girlies eye view 03/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its a great pose, a great attention getter, and wonderful ride

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I can think of none as a rider

    I have both riden and pillioned on the R6 and like many other would vow never to do so again.This bike is definately a lone rider bike. The riding position would suit people of a taller stature than myself (I'm 5'7)as the pegs are set quite low down. The weight and handleing are perfectly balanced, though I did find that a steering damper gave it just that little bit better responce. I have fitted a double bubble screen to try and cut down on the wind lash, it has proved beneficial and has made the riding at speed a lot smoother. If a pillion is required then I would suggest a steadier pace is ... more

    5 Stars Short time spent with the R6 18/05/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lovely little package

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    5 Stars R6 every day of the week 22/06/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Power, Handling, and reliability.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some of the styling. Factory fitted tyres.

    Please rate this review. I've been riding since I was 7 but have only been on the road for 8 years. In this time have ridden many different types of bikes ranging from crossers to big 1000's. The only one that I have not got tired of though is the R6. To start of with. These things go forever and get better. Mine currently has 28000 miles on, my friends has 40000 and they are still going strong. Service regularly and you will not have any problems. When you get it in a straight line it delivers its power a little on the aggressive side but it is easy to handle. It pulls best between 7 and ... more

    5 Stars Damn awesome 2000 Yamaha YZF-R6 22/05/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its light, it goes, it stops, it looks great and it scores an A+ in all these categories!!

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    5 Stars Best 600 out there ! 11/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages wow, screaming engine, good style

    Disadvantages Disadvantages wind blast, small storage under the rear seat

    I changed from a Thundercat to this bike after have a R6 as a lone bike whilst mine was being serviced. The R6 is a fantastically agressive bike, the bike just want to do more, the riding style leaves you with a huge grin every time you ride it. The style and position leave you with a understanding of what the bike is for... Racing. I found running the bike in very painful, as the bike likes to have the revs high, running like a two stroke, so in corners the bike would bog down as the revs weren't high. Once run in this isn't an issue as you can run it wild, the bike will alway take it and ... more

    4 Stars Good prices 10/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages need a links page for bike insurance/clothes/bikes etc

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nonoe - lets work together to produce a list to save everyone money

    Firstly i want one of these bikes - they are superb - i think i've read every review (online adn in mags) about the bike and am very impressed with the year 2000 model. But i don't like the price - i would like to buy brand new but have not found anywhere that has good prices - unlike car's there doesn't seem to be too many people selling bikes online.. I suggest we compile a list of the best web-sites for buying bikes/clothing/accessories for all riders/bikers/passengers to benefit from. I have done some searching but keep getting links to sites that are in the US or in Europe, can i suggest ... more

    4 Stars Excellent sports bike 16/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great handling, excellent performance

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I own a year 2000 model, which has been absolutley perfect for me. The handling is good, particularly around corners. You can comfortably reach 100 miles per hour within seconds. It is also a very good track bike as you can reach the speed and then drop down to corners very easily. Great for also doing wheelies and it's quite a comfortable ride over long distance. We've done about six hours quite comfortably. Even though this is not a brand new bike, if kept serviced it still performs well. This bike hasn't let me down yet. On average you can fill the tank for £12. It's also not too heavy or ... more
