...there lurks the skid demon
Just saw this at:
http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/2007models.htm
Apparently from Yamaha, there is a (New?) YZF-R6 S???
(See Pics below).
Standard forks (Non-USD) and looks like the old model, circa 2003?
Is this a budget version R6 for 2007?
Is it true, and would you have one?
I don't think this is a repost (did a search 'n all)
Keep it rubber-side down...

Yes it is true. That is the 2005 model with 2004 forks, and is designed to be a more street friendly option for road use. It is currently avaialble in the US as a 2006 model. If I was allowed I would have one as my weekend toy. I love my Z, but sometimes I miss my '04 R6.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Sold in the states as the YZF 600, I think

they prety much turn the old r6 in to there 'sport touring 600' per say
like the old zx6r(2003) turned in to the zzr600. Due to alot of people wanting a 600, but don't want a balls out racer which the new r6 is

It's funny that the trickest 600's of yesteryear are the 'Sports touring' 600's now.Originally Posted by Jim2
Truth be told, one of these would probably be plenty for 90% of us sportsbike riders...
...and Cajun's right ~ the new R6 is a track-focussed or weekend weapon.
You'd want to keep the revs up and the engine on the boil all the time.

I thought the S model was 2004. Should be a YZF-R6U or summint now ?

It means I'm not an authority or a teacher, and may not have any experience so take things with a pinch of salt (a.k.a bullshit) rather than fact
Jam and tarts....
id want it if it had usd forks. those r6s are very tasty.... do you think kwaka and zook will follow suit?
Alloy, stainless and Ti polishing.
Bling your bike out!

For whom the bell tolls
ok the deal is,
YZF-R6 (2006) - The evil looking bitch that revs out like mutt with its nuts cut off.
YZF-R6S - The previous model kept in production as a 'street friendly' (yeh right) option, also marginally cheaper too.
YZF-600 - I think they are still making them, is the 99 R6 engine, detuned a tad, has slightly larger brakes if my memory serves me correct, still looks the same awell.
Mine is a 5EB or YZF-R6L, but that has nothing to do with this conversation.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Not quite. The YZF-R6S is the 2005 model with 2004 "right way up" forks.
The YZF-R6T has been deleted. That had "Upside Down" forks. There were frame, engine map, and obviously fork differences between 2004 and 2005.
The 2004 forks are absolutely gorgeous. No hesitation in buying one if I won lotto, irrespective of forks fitted.
