2005 Yamaha YZF-R6

Summary:

R6's are awesome, and I would buy a Yamaha product again in a heartbeat!

Faults:

The only thing that went wrong with the bike was due to my stupidity. I had a couple of extra keys cut over the winter, not realizing that the original was chipped. Could not start the bike, so had it trucked to a shop. After they checked a few potential problems, they realized that I was trying to use a key that would never work. Brought in the original key and it fired up right away!

General Comments:

The bike is quick and handles well. It's my second R6, so no complaints from me in those departments.

Long distance riding, not so much. After 250km and a tank of gas, I needed a serious break as the comfort level due to the riding position was poor to say the least. Riding in the city though is no problem when it comes to comfort.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
