Who rides an R6?

**Sniper** · 27th September 2005, 10:26

I want an R6. Does anyone have one they just want to give away?

i know of one person but he's only lending it out to people under two conditions:
1/ They currently have a cool bike
2/ They can actually ride half decently
unfortunately you dont meet either conditon

its a pisstake dude

I'll keep you updated on how it feels etc though - how tall/heavy are you sniper, just for comparison reasons how you'd fit around the bike. Im 6ft 2 and around the 100kg mark depending on what i've eaten during the week.

I've done a review of a 2004 R6. Go here if you are interested in having a read through it. http://www.bobpickett.co.uk/bkit/2004r6.htm

Im 5'8" and a stocky 76kg. Ugly bugger but I don't know if that counts if I promise to keep my helmet on?

You're a hundred kilometers wide!? You might want to consider a goldwing then...

And I can stand on my head, but I don't brag about it.

Its the 99 model, done 14k and its all pretty much stock standard. Probably end up having the bike for a few years if i get it so just wanted to make sure im not buying a lemon bike.

Im 98kg if that helps at all... im sure the setup stuff will fix any problems i did have.

With a bit of luck i might be checking it out on Sunday afternoon after the Coro ride.

If your 98kgs you will be replacing the springs on the front straight away...far to light for your weight...the rear spring will be on dam near if not on max preload....

yeh sweet, the one im looking at has ohlins fork internals. At the price i'd be getting it for im sure there will be room for improvement in suspension in the future if i NEED it... im sure the bike will cover my riding capability for the forseen future atleast!
