2006 R6 and R1...non-photoshop

I hope this isn't a repost. Here are photos of what are supposed to be the 2006 R6 and the magnesium and ohlins equipped R1. I like the looks of the R6 even with the Gixxerish can. Yamaha fans enjoy :cheers: http://fwhisler.sym-link.com/images/06R6.jpg http://fwhisler.sym-link.com/images/06R6a.jpg http://fwhisler.sym-link.com/images/06R1.jpg

That R1 is a beautiful piece of machinery.

they are both gorgeous, but i don't care for the red/white paint job on the R6. :disapp:

Very stylish....really like that tail section. :dthumb:

That R1 Is AWESOME! Not sure if I care a lot for the Gold but it still looks good.

They both are sexy looking!! :drool:

that R1 just took the looks catagory for sure, and the ohlins option is kickarse but im really not a fan of that small arse pipe on the R6.

that R1 just took the looks catagory for sure, and the ohlins option is kickarse but im really not a fan of that small arse pipe on the R6. I was wondering about that pipe myself. I like it, but happens to the passengers feet? It the bike officially a track bike now, and not for two up use? Oops! Just noticed there is no place for second foot pegs on the bike. Interesting. I think I need to start saving, both bikes are hot!

Wow :drool: both of those are awesome!!!

I want one!!!

Both are veddy, veddy nice! I would have to have a custom paint job thrown down on the R6 though...that red/white is fugly.

WOW great looking bikes.

:dthumb: :dthumb: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: nuff said!!!

Yeah the R6 pipe is different but I'm sure it will grow on me...

The R1 is sweet....and so is the R6, but they should have gone with an dual undertail on the R6

wow that R6 is stupid good looking! ugh choices. i want another 1000 but dang that R6 might change my mind! again! lol

I still think the Gold hasnt hit me like the Ravin of 05 did. It was just awsome all black. But I would still own it. :cheers:

Black and gold... I like it. :dthumb:

Black and gold is classic...

Black and gold is classic... :iagree:

That R6 is the most agresive bike ive ever seen, awesome! And i love the black and gold. Because the gold is more of a magnesium look, and i love mag.

like the pipe :cheers: :cheers:

I'm not digging the red and white. But I like the bikes. Loved the Raven scheme...and the black/gold is pretty damn nice too.

looks nice!

wow......like most dont really like the shorty pipe on the R6, but the black and gold on the R1 is sweet. When are these coming out? :drool:

I do like the magnesium wheels on the R1. I doubt they will ever see the street bike unless the owner buys them later

I too love the mag look... one of the reasons I always loved my 9R... the motor and frame all have a mag look... look here! (http://www.twowheelforum.com/showthread.php?t=6345)

Way too sweet! But I'll keep my street fighter stripped and ripped!

very nice indeed - however im not too sure about the R6' s pipe..

so are there any other specs yet like MSRP, or other color options. i sure hope that the r6 is available in the black/gold :dthumb:

All these new bikes looking all fly... gee...what to get in the spring???? :scratch:

so which one looks better the r6 or r1?

I'm partial to the R-6 myself and begun saving for one. Little note, if you check the yamaha page, those pics of the R - 6 are no longer present. Yamaha.com, check out the listing for 2006, no R6 (http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/lifestylehome/home.aspx) Now only a listing for the R6S is available, which is a remake of the 05 R6.

This is a real bummer!!!! :cursin: The R1 got a face lift, but the R6 looks like the same as the 03,04, and 05 models...and you have the option of an S on the side. i guess we will know more September 28th when Yamaha releases the MSRP and I'm sure more info. if it's going to be like this I will just buy a 04 or 05 R6.

looks like the current R6 has gone the way of the YZF 600R. I will say its a good way to get more models from the same platforms. Note the new FZ1.... basically a R1 and theres nothing wrong with that. oh and the black or yellow R6 has me saving lunch money.

Something must have stopped the production. i.e...Defect in design or retooling the plant.

SICK!! Not a fan of the mud flap extention. It will look awesome with an eliminator kit. I think I found my next bike. Any specs yet?

It also has a traditional front fork. The 05 had an inverted. What the fuk!

It also has a traditional front fork. The 05 had an inverted. What the fuk! Ahhhh it looks the same as the 03,04,05....hopefully they will change the R6 for 07. :damn: :damn: :damn: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh it looks the same as the 03,04,05....hopefully they will change the R6 for 07. :damn: :damn: :damn: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dream on!

Dream on! Well if you think about it...The R1 got the face lift in 02, then the R6 got the face lift in 03. Now the R1 got the face lift for 06, so the R6 should get the face lift for 07.

I miss read your post.:dupe: I thought your were wishing for an R7. :crazy: Your probably on to something with your theory. They do tend to stick to a schedule.

so is the 2006 R6 pictured offically not comming out??? im kinda confused. i was already saving for the 2006 r6 that was shown here.

so is the 2006 R6 pictured offically not comming out??? im kinda confused. i was already saving for the 2006 r6 that was shown here. Nope..the R6 shown here isn't comming out. There will be an S model..but it just gives you a suspension package, and I think a different color paint. In other words..it looks like all we get is a repeat of 03,04,05 R6. We'll probably see the change in 07 for the R6 guys. :disapp:

He said nothing major for 06 on the R6.

I asked my buddy (sales manager) this question today. He said nothing major for 06 on the R6. That's why I am just going to find an 04 with 2k-4k miles or so on it.

Why would they go back to a traditional fork for '06? Doesn't make sense.

Guys, Um btw, I'm new. I just checked back at the Yamaha website and the new R6 is back on the site now....they say they pulled it because someone released too much information about the 06 models before they were supposed to. They pulled the raven and 50th anniversary pics off the site for now, but more info (and pics, I assume) are due on the 28th.

:welcome: rocketman :twfrox: We will find out soon.

I mentioned in one of these 06 R6 threads...we'll find out more on the 28th.

that R1 raven edition is the tits bro

:welcome: Rocketman!

Another linky! (http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelhome/499/0/home.aspx)

Why would they do an anniversary edition in Yellow and Black when they Team Yamaha colors are the Yam Blue??? :bash: Its nice, but not my cup of tea. Never been a Yam fan.

Yamaha didn't always use blue as the official color.

Yamaha didn't always use blue as the official color. Colors like Yellow and Orange just seem to date things so much. On a year will look out dated. Just like the old Orange Corvettes from the late 70's. Orange is never a cool color on a vehicle.

I tend to disagree but I may have a bias POV!! :whistle:

I actually think the red/white R6 is badazz. :cool:

that R1 raven edition is the tits bro It's tits. Not the tits, mang. :lol: And yeah, it's frog's ass.

It's tits. Not the tits, mang. :lol: And yeah, it's frog's ass. ..dogs bollocks....
