Damn awesome 2000 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!!
...bit!!) W reg 2000 R6. With a full akrapovic race system, im told cost about £1100 ouch, goodrich hoses all round, hugger, undertray and double bubble screen, it looked awesome and the deal was done. A week later i took it home and have not stopped smiling since. Ive owned the bike for about 6 weeks now and every opportunity i have, i go out on it. Ive waited so many years and now i have it, im sure as hell not gonna waste it. The handling is superb, altho its very fast turning in so beware cos its likely to catch you out. Ive been on a huge learning curve since the ZX9R, the R6 is far far superior. It stops amazingly well, as i said tho i do have goodrich hoses all round which make a huge long term difference and would recommend them to anyone, but the R6 i tested in 2001 was standard all round and the brakes were pretty damn special...

'99 R1 rocks the road for me!
Advantages: Quick, Fast, exciting to ride and stylish.. as well as Japanese and reliable!
Disadvantages: Twitchy front end on earlier models, needs stearing damper.
...I own a 1999 Yamaha YZF-R1 (1000cc) in V&M custom race colours (Red/Yellow flames and sponsors).
I bought the bike just short of two years ago for approx £4,000 from a dealer. The bike had only done 4,500 dry miles (genuine as a good friend knows the previous owner) and the bike was/is in mint condition. It had been pampered, the previous owner is pretty well off and used this custom painted R1 as a show off machine more than anything, so straight away I knew I was on to a good deal as a lot of R1's have been thrashed and trashed since they are such a nutters tool!
This model of R1 is not fuel injected but carbs, however my father does have the 06 fuel injected model and after a week or so standing in the garage and even after cold weather both bikes start first time, no hassle be it carbs or fuel injection!
The insurance can...
