2007 Yamaha YZF R6 Ownership Review After 7 Years | My Dream Bike

- 👋 After an amazing 7 years of ownership of my 2007 Yamaha YZF R6, here are my long term thought on this sport bike! Also, this is my last ride. As life changes I'm just not putting the miles on the R6 like I used too. Over the years I've done several 200-300 mile mountain trips on the weekends and even used the R6 as a commuter bike when I had a normal full time job. I'd even go grocery shopping in my single apartment living days with my backpack. now tho, I spend a lot more time doing house projects and going on road trips in our cars with my wife. The last year I only rode the R6 900 miles vs my typical 3,000. So I decided to sell my R6 and film one last video of my long term ownership. Overall this was a great bike! I love how fast it is and how well it handles. The R6 is a track focused sport bike and is just so at home ripping through the mountains. I never had one single issue with my R6 over the years and it has been cheap and reliable to own. I bought this bike in 2017 with 12k miles and sold it with almost 27k miles. Crazy enough the market for motorcycles like this has gone up and I bought this bike for $4,600 and sold it for $5,600! Not bad at all to own my dream sport bike for so many years and make a profit. I can't say enough good things about the 2007 R6. I found it very comfortable and easy to ride. I could go all day on it and not be all too worn out. The R6 can be a good beginner bike too if you keep it in low RPM's. The power comes alive after 8k and then it rips! Also sad to see the R6 in general leave the brand and get replaced with the R7 which is more of an entry level bike. The R6 will always be my dream bike and I can't put a price on the fun memories going on rides on this bike! I grew up riding Yamaha dirtbikes and even raced AMA all through high school. So owning the R6 was always my goal and this bike served it's purpose for me! I will miss it, but I'm just not getting the use out of it like the old days. For now the R6 is on to a new home with the generation of sport bike enthusiasts and I hope the new owner has just as many good memories on this amazing machine!

Saw one of these for sale up on craigslist for 6k, got heart eyes and everything when i saw it so im glad i found this review
Oh sweet! Such a great bike!
Heyy, I remember when you bought the R6! I used to ride dirt bikes and motorcycles all the time as well until I got into cars. Lol. Glad to see it is going to a good home 😎
Oh nice! Such a fun bike! We have been getting more into dirt bikes lately tho! So I still got some two wheel fun happening! But certainly having more fun in the cars now!
Just bout the same bike for $3500 23,000 miles garage kept. So nice 👍🏻
What a deal! Sold this for $5,600 ;)
I sold my R6 1999 recently, I know how you feel. 😭
Such great bikes for sure!
Poor bike. Has an ugly wheel. Sell.
The wheels are pretty similar to every other sport bike
@@BrosFOURRSpeed sell them all.
My late cousin almost killed me while I was riding on the back of his Yamaha V-Max i dig bikes 🏍 but from a distance. The kid buying it should have fun.
Yeah they can be dangerous. I always rode defensively and had a great time! I hope the new owner has just as much fun!
❤
Fun bike!
how much miles can they handle? found a pretty clean one with 30k miles, are they "ridable" till 60k miles?
Honestly these should hit 60k no issues. The new owner did new spark plugs after buying mine. So little stuff like that and regular maintenance you should be good
I’m 36 years old and a responsible person. My mind is set to get a 600cc as my first bike. Change my mind?! Is really a bad move?
Nothing wrong with going 600 for the first bike. I grew up riding dirt bikes so for me, once I was ready for a motorcycle, this was perfect. Some of my friends who never rode anything before started on the 300cc sport bikes. Within a year both of them got 600. So really depends more on your riding experience. However if you ride conservatively you can definitely start of a 600 and work more into the power and speed they offer
I just purchased one of these for 600 dollars from an liquidation! I am 15 years old is there any tips or such I should know? Thank you! I am currently working on fixing it up and it is only missing the gas tank, what should I look forward to doing to the bike? Thank you for the advice.
For a rebuild, just get it up to good running condition. Other than that, just routine maintenance. This bike never gave me problems and it was a ton of fun!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Ok thank you so much! I also have one more question, currently I have the bike in the red colorway and I have heard online that it is slightly rare, however there are some scratches where the bike was dropped. One of my favorite colors is the cool grey, should I repaint it or try and restore it to the original color? Thanks!
@@aadarsh-pg4de You can probably find a replacement set of fairings if you want grey. Could even sell the red ones and make more then your money back on a grey set
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks!
Time to trade it in for a 92 Saturn SL1.
I’ll stick with the Lambo lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Saturn gives you a planet feel. It lets you feel associated with Saturn.
Yeah I'll pass lol. Saturn went away a long time ago. The Sky was cool back in the day. I remember looking at those at the dealers when I was a kid
@@BrosFOURRSpeed you wanted an SC-2.
@@ericB3444 I’ll still stick with my Lambo lol
Is it possible to install a gear indicator or gauge on this bike, if I may ask?
That could be possible, but don't know the work or cost for something like that. Probably not worth it though.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I see, no stress then, thanks for the advice...
In Costa Rica this very same motorcycle Cost around 12 to 13 thousand dollars…
Brand new or used? Thats a brand new price in the US.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed A used one the year as yours… they’re way way expensive…
Wait, I’m looking at one in Facebook marketplace for almost 6 grand. it would be my first bike. I know it might not be a good first and too expensive, but he said his was street legal. Is he lying? I’m not about to spend six grand on a motorcycle. I can’t even drive on the road.
If it’s street legal why couldn’t you drive on the road??
@@BrosFOURRSpeed in your video you said they discontinued it and now it’s for track use only. I don’t know anything about motorcycles but to me that sounds like it’s not street legal anymore. Would I still be able to ride on the roads?
@@ashestoashesTTV
You said in your comment, it was “street legal”… for $6K you are buying a used bike for the roads. Not a track only bike.
You can’t ride the track only bikes on public roads.
But $6K is going to be a used bike, 07-09, somewhere around those years.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah I was just asking if he was lying about it being street legal. Sorry I know nothing about bikes.😂😂
@@ashestoashesTTV link the bike so I can see!
No experience with motorcycles. Do you think if I’m well disciplined with the rpm’s. Do you think it’s a poor choice for a first motorcycle 😊
If you have no experience, I'd go R3 or MT03. I've been riding dirt bikes my whole life, so this was easy for me. But those 300cc style bikes are great if you have no experience.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed you don’t think I’d sell the r3 in a month or two ?
@@veizii6096 Honeslty depends on your interest in bikes once you have one. A few of my friends started with the 300s and in 6 months sold them for 600s. They love bikes. However another friend of mine has had his 300 for 5 years and has no interest in more power. So just depends on you if you end up liking bikes. Can go for a good used 300 and easily sell it for what you paid if you want to upgrade down the road
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks for the advice man!! That really helps!
how did you run it without any tank grips?
I never needed that. Just has the rubber guard thing in the center that was there when I bought it. But my legs wrapped around the tank very well and with. my riding gear I never had issues sliding around on the bike.
I’m looking at a used 2007 r6 with 35,000km what’s a good or reasonable price Canadian$
I'm not too sure in Canadian money. Just see what's out there. I sold this bike for $5,600 with 27k miles.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed is it worth getting as my first bike?
@@marcusjurgens8883 depends on your skill set and interest level. I grew up riding dirt bikes and racing motocross. So for me this was a great first bike and I owned it for 7 years. If you are brand new to 2 wheels, maybe consider a used R3 or MT07. A few of my friends started on the 300 bikes but within 6 months got 600s. So it can depend on
Did you sell it ?👀
Yeah, it sold quick!
I'm so lost your saying it's your dream bike they stopped making them you own one and your like you know what I'm gonna just sell it
I've owned this for 7 years. That's hardly, 'just selling it'.
I still love the bike, but as I mentioned in the video as life changes and I move on to new chapters of life, I don't find myself riding hardly at all. I'm guessing you are 17 and think your life will always be the exact same and you will never have new desires as you get older?
With my Lamborghini that I own, I seem to gravitate towards driving that 99% of the time when I want a thrill. Bike has been sitting for months not getting used.
In Cali, 2007 R6 30k miles not original fairings for $5.6k? Fair ?
I'd go lower. Sold this for $5,600 all original parts with 27k miles. I'd go closer to $5k if a bike has replacement fairings. What got damaged to have them be replaced?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks for the response!! Passing on this one better one will come along
@@TheeSchizoKing No probably! I’m sure a good one will pop up!
just watched your vid and love it! was looking at this bike as i already have a 2013 cbr500r, for an 07 in good condition yzf how long do motorcycles last? like 20 years idk if a 07 is too old to keep long term?
Thanks! Mine was still in amazing shape and ran great! Not bad for a 17 year old bike. These can last 30-40-50 years. Just depends on how well you keep them
What exhaust set up is on that?
Catless mid pipe and GYTR slip on
How much did you sell it for ?
Got $5,600 for it. Bought it for $4,700. So not too bad since the market has changed a ton over the years
Don’t lie you are old 😜
Haha you still got me by a few years Mr. 😂😂
Noooo!!! Not the R6
Had a good 7 years. Things change as life goes on tho
@@BrosFOURRSpeed completely understandable, you’re the reason I got my 07 Yamaha R6 instead of a CBR600 and I appreciate you for that.
Stay safe man, blessings to your future!
@@ErickJimenez-p8g oh cool! Great bike for sure and certainly full of fun memories for me! Enjoy yours!
Abs s r no
Mine did not have ABS. I don't think that was too mainstream on 2007 bikes. Maybe 2009 and up had the option
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 2015 r6 abs s r no
@@abrahammateo6375 I believe it’s optional
@@BrosFOURRSpeed tq your
I am search Google 2015 have abs
Hard to do a wheelie on a R6? Lol
In the stock configuration yeah, my brothers CBR600 can easily do it.
You own one?
@@BrosFOURRSpeedyes but flashed and sc project exhaust
Big 0/10
