This is the story of my switch from Honda to Yamaha i had a 2006 CBR 600RR that i started off with and began to mod the bike with full red konita minolta fairings, vortex rearsets, and full leo vince...i got into stunting earlier this summer and ive been lucky because i never dropped or went down on the cbr. One night me and a group of friends were out riding and i did a endo and it came up and i starting going until i caught a divet in the road the it just brought the bike completely over...the tail and the subframe took most of the damage my sliders saved my bike. So the very next day i went out and got the 09 white r6 i choose this color because my cbr was white and red and i didnt want to buy new gear and i really liked the color scheme..i got the bike on july 30th and the very same night i begin modding the bike i was pretty much finished by the end of september with mods because i ran out of ideas. What sets my bike apart from other bikes is because of the unique look that my bike has. I pay close attention to detail and i only choose good quality parts for my bike. To be honest i dont have a specific reason why my bike should be named bike of the month because there isnt a long story behind my build because its only a few months old. I just figured i should try, because i honestly like the way the bike looks and feels and i stand out from the others. I just got bit by th mod bug lol.. thanks for looking on to the pics

This was my CBR before and after i wrecked it

Your bike looks _unbelievably_ cool, gotta give you that.

Hey.. Who did the retrofitted headlights? That will be another thing i'll add on to my own bike when i get the time, money, and confidents for it..

Great looking bike, can't believe you modded that thing so quick. Everything is so expensive when you start getting into performance mods and I love those wheels! Great job!
