Hey guys, I currently ride a 2005 gixxer 1000, and I'm thinking about getting an 04 r6. I'm 5'7 with about a 29 inseam, and I can almost flat foot my gixxer. Will I have a problem on the r6?

You will not be able to flat-foot a stock R6…..not even close, but I'm the same height as you with a little longer inseam, and I am more than comfortable with the 1-foot lean. You can tippy-toe both sides, but I prefer to lean a little to the left and flat foot one foot. I've never had a problem.
Mine is a 3rd gen, though. I couldn't flat-foot my 1st gen either. Never sat on 2nd gen.
