Well, I just bought a 2006 R6 this weekend, and I thought I might as well join the forum here. This is not my first bike though. I owned a 2003 yzf-600r and then a 2003 honda 600rr, which I eventually tracked out. I sold the honda and decided on an R6, and so here I am. I have to say that I am pretty impressed with it so far. It's a pretty mean machine, that puts out a lot of horsepower, and it has a complete ohlins suspension set up. Oh yeah, this thing will never see the street.

Some pics...

Anyway, it will be good to talk with some of you fellow R6 owners, especially about common issues with this particular model (if there are any). I'll be at VIR on June 2, so maybe I'll catch one or two of you there.

That thing just scares me by looking at it... You're nuts for racing, LOL.

But hey, good luck bro, and I'm glad I bought a bike because it seems like a cool crowd and not to many immature idiots out there. So far, so good
