sure, the only thing i can really tell you now..ive only got about 550miles on it. been kinda wet here lately.(fugin sucks) ive owned acouple of bikes this makes my 4th..2nd r6, and my brother has a 2006 636. hes got a full micron,pcIII, basicly set up like mine.......theres no way in hell he can catch me. so i guess its like this......pro- fastest fkn 600 ive ever been on.

hes my little brother...i tought him to ride (for what its worth) we were on a stretch of interstate(i know i know dont preach please:dupe: ) we both droped to 3rd, i got a little jump and he couldnt catch me all the way to 167mph(not sure the speed accuracy, thats what speedometer said) but come on i weight 30 more #'s and hes on a true 636cc bike compared to 599. that so called king of the 600's shoulda easily got me....dont ya think?
im not sure what he's reds at ill have to look..but mine.....well you know the story. ive got my shift light set at 15,500. and i was hitting the light, and i could feel the bars doings the tire leave ground shake all the way into 6th. i freakin love the thing...for a 600 its got so much pwr to wght....i still feel kinda shakey when i get off of it after doing some fkin around with it.:yikes:
i know its not a 1liter. but what is it they say.....more fun to ride a slow bike fast, then a fast bike slow!

Wow! I have a friend that has a 04 636 and a friend that has an 04 R6 and both of them were playing on the interstate and that 636 was quick on the straights, but until my buddy did a alot of work to his 04 R6 with all the mods he wasn't faster.YO-MIKEY! said:
now the 636 is terrible on the twisties, but it's fast in the straights and that's about all it's good for....also the 636 is one of the most uncomfortable sportbikes I've ever sat on.
YAMI all the WAY!!!!
i dont know if you caught my other tread...(r6 overrated).. ive got a freind that lets my club use his airstrip so we do some sunday grudge racing, me and wade..hes got a zx12 lined em up just for ****s and giggles.we ran 3 times and here is the outcome: 1st-i got a 4 bike spot...won easily. 2nd- 2 bike spot...he ran me down.3rd...heads up he got me by 2 to 3...thats a freakin 12r. so yes i am, along with several of the Little Rock locals...very impresed by the new R6.
you guys have got to at least stop off and ck out my site coming...there is belive it or not some pretty sick bikes here in Little Rock. its kinda a small city so 90% of the (crotch rocket) riders ride together. and most of them are showing up for the photo shoot were doing. there gonna be a ton of picts of the Little Rock guys on the site. from the results of the emails ive been getting its gonna be 150-200 bikes show up. from 250 ninjas to my buddies turbo charged 1390 busa(now this is a mean ass bike). and if your ever in the LR area give us a call...we'd love to have ya ride with us. my phn# is gonna be on the site.:twfrox:
i can get it up...its pretty cool to be 6 bikes 3 lanes wide at 80-90 standing on the pegs on the rear wheel..but i just love riding, and bikes in general. not everyone in our club wheelies..and not everyone drags. were just a bunch of laid back hillbillies that can apreciate the open road. absolutly nothing like a saterday afternoon sunny skies, about 80 deg. just rolling thru the hills 20-30 deep. people definatly stop and look. thats what i love about it!:cheers:
I think the comparison I'm looking forward to is the 06R6 vs the 06GSXR600... PERSONALLY I like the way the GSXR fit me better... the R6 was just too cramped for me. I've never really been a GSXR fan (only because EVERYONE seems to have one) but between the two as far as how they fit me... I like the GSXR better...
but I do love the Yami :drool:
