@@UndeadHermit yeah and he is not even mentioning that people should not enter if they are out of usa
The 2006/2008 R6 design is still fresh unique after almost 20 years. No one could beat that
Daytona 675 (if you replace the cheeky stock mirrors and blinkers).
Beautiful design 👌
It’s slow, unreliable and overpriced. 899 panigale was way better
I do agree man. It still looks better and imo it's better looking than the latest one
@@DeeDixon24 what I think u mixed up ducati with yamaha right there buddy
My brother's first bike was an R6. No, he's still with us. Great guy!
I agree R6 is a great guy
The great guy is an R6
Guy.
In my opinion the 90s through to the late 2000s had some of best sounding 600cc bikes.
I have a 2000 CBR 600 F4 and I genuinely love the sound
I allready miss my 2004 fazer sound (prop to leovince exhaust tho). Low rpm deep sound and pops, high whine... Damn. I think only gsxs1000 sound like that nowadays. Tried all inline 4... Nope :'(
Not just the best sounding, the best ever made.
I have a 2002 Yamaha r6 and it’s so sexy
@@thomasbouvier3203 try bmw
I always wanted a 2008-2009 R6 in yamaha blue with the gold wheels
Still looks modern and beautiful, aggressive but not pointy like an H2
And the proportions just work very well
There is a reason why bodybuilders from the 70s/80s still look good. They got their proportions right
Edit: 69 likes. Nice
I have one, 2008 blue with gold wheels, love it!
R6 fiat edition.. my choice..
My first bike was a 2010 R6. A beautiful white and red model. Moved on to a 2016 BMW S1000RR and to be more than brutally honest, the R6 was so much more fun. Better in every way, bought another 2010 R6 last month - perfectly kept black and gold model with only 12.000km on the clock, all original! Giving it some love and care now, a complete full service so it lasts forever. Much love to the most wonderful bike I've ever set eyes on!
This was, is and will remain my dream bike. I'm gunning for it to be my next bike. Maybe after 2 years or 4-5-7-10 years. I really wish I get my grubby hands on it in India.
I've only seen like six of them here... Our government didn't really allow 600cc imports
@@navyanikii true. In Chandigarh on weekend rides the group has only 1 R6 but 3 Daytona's. So I guess it also depends on availability.
same brother

R6 is super rare in India. You would find an R1 here and there but not The R6.
Picked up my 03 R6 in 2006. I was not expecting that engine. I liked the look, fanboy of the Yam Rossi GP world, and was returning to riding after a break in 1988 (GS750). Back in the day the Kantana was my dream. Fastforward by luck found my R6. Joined a racing school to learn track skills. I learned every ride, something new, lean, knee dragging. Boy it loved to rev, that powerband, like a jet, so much top end in every gear.
Nothing like that R6 powerband!
Love the style here. Great content. Keep xploring this kind of presentation please, feels like you may have found your long term niche.💯👍
Managed to grab a 2012 Yamaha R6 World GP 50th Anniversary Edition… only 1500 produced! Amazing bike.
I still have my 2007 R6. Bought it new. Sitting at 40k miles now. Full titanium Graves exhaust, 1 tooth down on front sprocket and 2 teeth up on the rear sprocket, and a power commander. Matching blue tinted tail light and HID headlights. Nasty bike.
This video was like a perfect sign. I JUST bought my first bike, a 2006 R6 in black yesterday. I am MOVING TO AUSTIN and you have one of my favorite channels on youtube. I was one of your first viewers on this video and am now a Yammie Noob for life
Thanks Daniel! I appreciate that. I'd love to have you on our Discord server. Join us on shop.yammienoob.co !
enjoy it man! got my white & black 2006 R6 last year
I just got a 2014 R6 and I cannot wait for spring to see how it goes.
Enjoying this video format good job Yammie
You nailed the script from the beginning to the end. The legend, two characters, R6.
I own one after dreaming owning one for almost 10 years, mine it's a 2013 R6, the one in Pearl White gold and black color scheme. Even today, after 10 years it left Iwata's factory in Japan people can't believe how it looks, the design it's outstanding, the engine sounds amazing, it is by far, the best looking 600 ever made.Yamaha. Period.
I’ve had my 08 r6 for a couple months now and I think it’s the sexiest and the most fun bike to ride, I love hopping on and just ripping it.
What an amazing bike! Yamaha is forever the king. Can’t wait to see the content involving this bike.
Tons in the pipeline! I'm truly in my element with this one.
Just hope the next owner doesn’t tip it lol
last year I sold my 2007 R6, it had a full aftermarket exhaust system and power commander, and revved out to around 16500rpm! I remember when I first purchased it and didn't even realise it had a shift light until 2 weeks of ownership, as soon as you hit 10k rpm they really start pulling, ill never forget that feeling, absolutely amazing bikes, perfectly engineered. the other thing ill never forget is how uncomfortable they are, 3 or 4 hour ride will mess you up for a couple of days.
What’s a good price to buy a 2007 r6
2015 R6 here. It is my track day bike and I love it! You cannot have too many bikes! My mom would not let me have any kind of bike as a kid.
You made me fall back in love with my 06 R6 Raven. Has a “Yamatick” if that’s even a thing. Fairings are getting old being 17. My newish rider buddies are going from their Ninja 250R’s to 08 ZX6R’s and MT07 friends to Trident 660’s so I wanted to hop on the new bike bandwagon. I notice the liter bike bro’s locally jump from bike to bike every season besides teasing us “for not being a real man” but my past 04 R1 or anything doesn’t compare to this bike and after 4 years of riding it, it’s still fun like it was day 1. Thank you Mr. YamJam 🍠👑🙏
@yammie Noob loved the video edit felt diferent from the previous. ones keep the good work! (youre a big influence you made me buy a svart 401)
In '08 I bought A 2007 R6 in gun metal grey for my first bike. I definitely should have started on a smaller bike but I had to keep up with the homies. Man, I loved her!
Had one. Midnight black 2009 Rj15. Its not just a motorcycle. Its a poetry on wheels. Every 1k rpm that you cross brings a brighter, bigger smile on your face. Its an addiction. When i was riding this bike i had one goal.. test all roads for 200 km/h+. Every. Road. Miss my lady very much.. Sadly the european CO2 law is trash and killed the road 600cc. Nothing compares to the magnificent i4 sound hitting the 15k rpm. Love your video and will save it as a tribute for this incredible piece of art.
I didn't choose the squid life, but it sure as fuck chose me 😤 I've always been in love with the wasp eye styling of the mid 2k's R6 and would easily choose it over any other super sport on the market. Completed my MSF in November of '21 and never thought I'd find my way onto a bike again due to finances, but always had my heart set on the R6 as an "eventually" bike. Luckily for me I found a 2007 on Craigslist late last December and against better judgement I moved forward with Baby's First Bike™ being a fuckin' R6 lmao. Having less than a single hour of seat time on it currently, and not having ridden for over a year since my MSF prior, I'm still taking it slow and riding the neighborhood when daylight is available and weather permitting(goddamn winter needs to end already). If anything I blame Yammie for validating my love for this incredible machine; even in the videos he's dogging on 'em being horrible street bikes all I hear is praise for it's design 😂
You did an excellent job at creating this video! Looking to make the R6 my first bike.
Well finally a video if urs that I can relate and agree to. Well done.
Last year I bought this exact bike, 2008 R6 with the leo vince titanium full system, quickshift & blipper and ECU race updated. it. is. just. nuts! This video brings a tear to my eye!
That’s the year of this bike
??
@@0xStatic yeah its 15 years old but looks almost as modern as the newer bikes still. One of the best bikes ever designed
love my 08 R6. it puts a smile on my face to hear its still relevant even 15-16 years after its making.
2019 R6 here. Love it!
Love this video thanks so much I will keep on riding mine forever ❤
I helped my brother set an 08 r6 up for club racing years ago. He ended up low siding it at the track at the end of the season and immediately bought another one lol.
I’ll never forget my Mum driving me back from my girlfriends house in summer when I was 17 and us getting absolutely gapped by a yellow R6. The rider was looking off and leaning into the sunset. I’ve wanted a bike ever since and I’ll be getting my first this year.
Funny thing is the 08 r6 was the bike that got me into bikes 16,500 redline seemed godlike as someone who obsessed over the GT3 due only to the 9k rpm redline. I would watch a ton of short videos on Instagram and TH-cam on the bike with aftermarket exhausts and dyno videos. I started on a grom road it for a ab 8 months upgraded to the r6 and still 3 months later I still look back and fall back in love with the looks the sound and the style
Great video, love my 2008 r6.
Just sold an S1000RR M-Sport to get another R6, managed to pick up a 2012 in black & gold. Absolutely love it !
Got my 2008 R6 a year and a half ago as my first bike. Absolutely best decision I ever made other than my wife and kid. Lol. My R6 will always be my baby though. It’s taught me a lot about riding. Below 10k rpm’s it’s super tame. After a few months of riding did the +2 -1 and 420 sprockets and chain, lowered it, and am finally about to cut the cats off and get a PC. I would recommend this bike a million times over. It’s super fun, lightweight, manageable torque curve, and hauls the mail when you want to crack the throttle.
Don't lower it. And 520?
@@replynotificationsdisabled Too late for lowering it. I’ve already lowered it an inch. And yes, 520*. That’s my bad.
A truly beautiful bike. I have a 2012 50th anniversary edition GP R6 number 1259 of 1500. Yes, a long ass title. One of the last former gen R6s to be made with its lightest, most powerful raven engine with arguably one of the sexiest liverys to ever come out of yamaha and I will fight you on that. I love it so much I literally paid it off and had my signature laser inscription into my frame to show my will to keep it for as long as I'm alive
had an 89 honda hurricane that i learned to ride on, sold it and worked my way up to an 05 R6, i rode that bike for 6 years before i felt like it wasnt enough bike. Even now (riding a zx10r) i miss the R6, it didnt have the speed of the zx but it just felt special. I got compliments all the time, people thought it was beautiful. Blue plastics with a blacked out windscreen, LED flush mount tail light kit with the plate delete. man..... that bike was so sick.
Best video u ever done more videos like this where u can tell ur story also
This is the first time I've seen an R6. That really is a beautiful bike.
I own a 2008 R6 , parked In my lounge surrounded by VR posters , nice to here papa yam praise my pride and joy 🤘🤣
I've been racing 600s since 2001. 1st was K1 Gixxer. Dynoed at 100 RWHP. Was king at the time, but comparatively to later bikes it was a bus. Next an 04 R6 in 2008 Definitely a step up. Then an 08 R6 in 2010. This was an even bigger step up than the 04 was to the K1. Best handling bike I've ever ridden. RWHP of 128!!. Rode that for 10 years ... now a 17 R6. 17 is basically same as 08 just different forks and triple clamps (R1) plus some electronic features (which I have on the 08 as aftermarket add ons anyway).
Ridden plenty of other race bikes (ZX10 widowmaker down to Ninja 250). The R6 is without doubt the best handling bike ever.
Well … after watching your vid I no longer want to sell my one-owner 2010 copy. Lol. Thanks for reminding me of the passion that these bikes are.
Who edits your videos?! They did an amazing job!
I love my red 04 r6!!!!!! Never gonna give it up!
Hey Mr.Yammie, around the DMV motorcycling has basically boomed, being a passionate young rider-friends and other have always asked what the best bike to start on is-I show them your old videos of the r3/ninja400. With this becoming more popular (maybe not in the west coast) do you have any plans reviewing new (year) sport bikes? Just curious although common sense is telling me no, since you already have those videos out.
2004 Welkom Arena still feels like it was yesterday, crazy how fast time fly
03-04 zx6r was my favorite years hands down sport bike ever made
I bought a first generation R6 to replace my Honda F3, both 600 cc inline fours but that Yamaha was so much better. It was like riding on a rail and if you were deep into the throttle you had to keep your weight over the front wheel because it would come off the ground right around 12,000rpms and thousand happened without manipulating the clutch. What a bike she was
2016 was the best model R6. But the 2012 R1 will always be my unicorn. Now i own one and couldnt be happier.
I love my 2009 so much 😩 24k miles still putting in work
My dream bike, hope to own it some day.
Well we're giving this one away!
buying one next month to replace my MT-07
08’ R6 vs K8 GSXR600.
Keen to here pros/cons and how they would go h2h across things like build quality, reliability, handling, power etc
I raced an 06 R6 in CCS and WERA back in the day. When the 2008 came out with the more low end torque, I wanted one, but I realized I wasn't even close to a good enough rider to be pushing the limits of my current '06.
I’ll have my r6 , looking to have one this year ! 🤞🏾
I have a GSX-R 750 and a 1000 and and also an R6 I can guarantee you that bike is pure magic in terms of geometry and handling
Watching this before work… now i’m taking the r6 to work lol
ive got a 2007 R6 and it is by far my favorite bike
Yammm my first bike was a 08 R6 cadmium yellow with black Flames 🔥, I want to get one someday again
This gen of r6 will always be my dream bike
The sound these things make. My god.
Wow this sounds good
Mate I did a direct access course in 2003 when I was 23 and bought the R6 as my first bike. Suffice to say: 🤯 🤯
I hope one day I can ride this dream bike of mine. Owning is not an option because maintaining this will be hard now. I like to use my motorcycles to their full potential and a lack of spare parts will just be a compromise. Nevertheless, I'm very glad that you made this video.
I own a 2006 R6, just watching this to fall in love all over again.
R6 was my first bike and sad to have sold it for as cheap as I did. I would love to own one again but I think r1 is next
I had one of these 08 R6’s 3 years ago and traded in for an 09 R1 and the R1 was cool for 6 months but I’ve found it pretty useless for the street as in its way too high geared just riding around town in 1st using the clutch all the time and on the open road more scared of getting caught at way more speed than the R6. The only thing the R6 sucked at was having someone on the back with the lack of torque but the R1 is cool and sounds amazing but owning a superbike isn’t as good as what it should be
My dream man❤️🔥❤️🔥.....that sound is pure angel ing
MOM COME LOOK YAMMIE UPLOADED
Definitely gonna enter. That’s my dream bike right there
Nvm I’m under 18 I can’t 😐
I definitely miss my 07’ R6r in candy red. One day soon I hope I can get back on a R6! I keep looking at the new r7 and that bike is really nice I sat on one at a dealer and loved how the ergos felt but I’m not sold on the sound 😏. Like you said Yammie there’s something about that iconic r6 power band coupled with those sweet sweet exhaust notes that have me looking back at a true sweetheart of a bike! 😊🥰🥰
R7 is very slow in comparison to an R6....
Yeah dude the r7 is a fraud.. a scam.. it has about half less the horsepower of the R6. I can’t believe Yamaha really did that to the legendary iconic R6. What a horrible predecessor the R7 is. A true shame ):
i Love my R6 so bad i started on it and i dont regret anything.
just giving me more and more reasons to get this beauty as my first bike
I just bought a white 2014 R6 today 🎉
I had a 2009 R6.. one of my biggest regrets was selling it...
Would love to hear thoughts on the new R6 track bike they’re releasing!
Have fun with them fairings. On another note there's an r6 that comes to my shop with 62k on the clock. She runs great
he really likes that bike, so do I. white and red looks insanely fast.
there's not many of anything that still look this good at 20 years old
Beautiful bike
Yamm you are making me feel really old... my generation the 750's were the apple in every young man's eye
the 3rd gen R6 is the best looking motorcycle, especially for the time period. The styling was way ahead of it's time and looks good even today. I had the choice between a 2020 R6 and a 2012, and I went for the 2012 and a big part was I just love the look of it. The sharp tail, the aggressive wasp head. It looks timeless!
Had the 06/07 for track, the ergos would suck on the street. Sore back and wrists for sure. Let's not forget they fudged the tachometer to make it read higher
Had the yellow black flames new. It is the best bike ever made.
What a dream !! 💪
R6 is Love
I love the r6 and similar to you my bond with Yamaha started as a child being a kid with a pw50 and watching Chad Reed win race after race on a yz. I rode Yamaha ttrs of various sizes before moving up to a tw200 at age 14, after that I went to street bikes from the other japanese brand but now I've finally settled with a 2005 Yamaha fz6n. I think I'll buy another Yamaha next😂
I’ve got to say I’m probably one of the luckiest if not the luckiest guy in America when it came down to finding my 2018 r 6 when I wasn’t even looking to buy a motorcycle but with 800 miles and only $8500 I had to buy it and boy am I so glad that I did this may sound corny but honestly I didn’t start living until I started riding straight up this bike has helped me thru some dark times of depression I’m a firm believer in “what’s for you if for you” and I know that God intended for it to be mine. With the 3 stages of riding modes this bike has gradually improved my squid skills. I’ve put close to 10k miles on it in a little over a year this bike has become part of who I am. God bless America
The most beautiful sportspike ever made imo .... This is peak peak ..motorcycle design
Could you do a review on all your Bikes?
Early 2000's first fuel injected bikes to early 2010’s before too many electronic assistant modes were incorporated into bikes…. Is the sweet spot! Like a natural raw feeling, without OG sluggish carbs (if even cleaned properly) and without a video game style “automatic health regen” (electronic riding aids) from newer 600’s seem watered down and have less HP. It’s like the muscle car era where they had “too much powah” and then got their balls chopped off in proceeding models 😅
I’m your age, thus young when it was happening but admired the bikes of that day, now cherishing and enjoying their worth while singing their praises
Always been my dream bike.
I had the Liquid Silver 2008 YZF-R6 for my first motorcycle.. I never rode a motorcycle before that. 2 years and never dropped it. I regret selling it.
I have a 2008 R6 dark grey metallic graphite colour with black rims with red stickers 😍😍😍
I owned this exact model for many years. Dream bike. Sad to say it had to come to an end when a thief stole it outside my apartment in Seattle.
i drive my 2002 r6 every day even when it snows and every day I enjoy it
My first bike 🥹 '08 R6 Raven with the gold wheels
Still here baby! R6 gang 😂 check back next week
Checking out a 2016 60th anniv. tomorrow!
Nice 👌🏿
I'm still riding an '02 R6 wit a carburetor on it! 43 years young and still ride it. Be safe yall!
