The fact that Sean had a girlfriend when he was 12 made me believe he got that glorious beard when he was 8.
Lmfao
Lol
After riding an FZ1 for a year now, I am a Yamaha guy. I never rode a 600cc. Went from Ninja 400 to FZ1, but would still like to ride a 600. I just like the more upright position of the FZ1 and the more mid range torque.
I have a 2005 fz1.... absolute rocket ship on two wheels lol....I to chose the fz1 for it's comfortability, upright riding position mixed with super bike horse power.
FZ ftw :)
Nah upright succ
@@BANANAHAMMER420 mine is a 2009, leaves most in the dust and comfortable on my one hour drive to work. Absolutely love it.
@@kytobike4516 yeah sure, an upright that will hang with or beat most 600cc and is more comfortable. Yeah sure sucks... lol
I have bought a 2017 for my first bike , I’ve rode motox for 20 years on and off, I absolutely love it !
Honestly it more ways than you think, the begging helped so much, it really doesn’t matter man, chooser the bike you want and that’s makes the most sense (mainly you can afford it and it won’t kill you) bam done, I like r6 cuz it sounds cool, I like the color red ima get a Honda, do whatever, it won’t kill me, done and dusted
I had a 2014 R6 for about 5 years and I absolutely loved it, totally regret selling it.
Thanks~~~~
Awesome to see this video showcasing what is practically "my bike." Mine is a 2013 with that same exact matte grey scheme, except mine has the black rims with the red accent instead of the gold rims. I really wanted the gold rims from 2014 but I just happened to find a deal in my area for the 2013. Not a huge deal.
P.S. I always keep both beams on no matter the time of day because the single light thing peeves me too.
Thanks~~~~
Love from Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
i had one of these and made a few videos with it, not on this channel. had to sell it. and then the guy who bought it after me wrapped it around a tree. it was the red white and black scheme you photoshopped onto the wall during the kid scene, these bikes are amazing, not super comfortable. but its fine. 1500 miles in one day. worth it.
These are great bikes don’t worry about the low end it’s actually beneficial in everyday riding think stop starting at traffic lights and so on but if you want a bike to kill you off the mark than look at 1000s
this is off topic and not sure if older bike are your guys thing but would love to see a review of a 98 Kawasaki ZX9R love your content
that sedici jacket you're wearing is one of my favorites
Thanks~~~~
The robot bug thing was good. I love the Superbikes and all that. They look like a hornet it's just cool angles and character.
Thanks~~~~
Sean, your thoughts on the new R7? Will you review one soon?
Bro I was looking at the R7 and is a stepdown from the R6, less performance, less ability to tune. I'd rather have a 2010 R6 than a 2021 R7.
Cool my 600 was a Ninja 600R 1985 I miss it but it was stolen 2 years after I got it
Had a 07. Loved it. But sadly had someone pull out in front of me. Totaled my r6. Miss it.
Me with my 08 only they turned left in front of me
2800 miles on a 7 year old bike AND she still has the warning sticker on the gas tank? She was a garage queen for sure, that thing is barely broken in.
Some people dont bother, then it gets so old that it's hard to remove without damage. My 36 year old BMW and my 18 year old Concours both have stickers. Definitely not garage queens. Dont be so judgemental and stereotypical
I saw the person responsible for the millions of grammarly ads in a dark alley and well...um...let's just say it didn't end well for him.
i prefer this R6 than the 2017 model 😍
People always talk about . It has no power down low. Okay. I get that it dont have litre bike power down low. But trust me. Its all the power one will ever need on the street. Period. If theres Zero power down low. Ride it one handed while pegging it. Also. Its a 3 second flat 0-60 in the right hands. Im not that guy. Best i can comfortably do is around 3.5 -3.6. But 3flat is 110% possible
Thanks~~~~
Is $6500 too much for a well taken care of 2008 Yamaha r6 with 6300 miles I’m in California ?
I’ve been to your web site and none of these bikes are on there for sale, last time it showed like 8 bikes for sale what gives
Out of the hundred or so I see in the background on your channel
How much do you weigh just curious for reference on the grom review
Thanks~~~~
Judging by the how brake level bend, is this bike ever have experience crash ?
I want one so bad
Yammie noob crying in tears over you loving the R6…
Yammie is a gate keeper. If I have to see one more “stop doing these things or you’re a beginning rider” I’m going to lose it. He is as bad as the Harley boys.
@@joeexotic4698 meanwhile watching a channel built on videos titled "is bike x BIG ENOUGH FOR A MAN"
@@joeexotic4698 this
It's unfortunate that Yammie Noob uses the platform to diminish some brands and make judgement for his uniformed audience based on specs on paper without considering who the bike was meant for and other factors such as price. He wants every bike to be a Triumph. (I am a sensitive Yamaha fanboy)
Don’t even watch yammie anymore. His content has gone downhill the past year.
The fact that it is relatively tame until 8-10k is something I really like about the R6. I can ride it comfortably as a commuter bike all day, but it has all the power I could ever handle if I just rev it up a bit.
This 👍👍
The 2017+ R6 feels more powerful on the lower rpm range, not sure what they changed to accomplish that.
same here. I can easily maneuver around tight jams and traffic at 2-4k RPMs. I love it. and honestly, if you're trying to pull from 1k-2k RPMs then the problem is you. I don't know what the others are complaining.
@Blue Friend I have GSXR 600 and sure it's fast. But when the friend is on the rear wheel and pulling from you and you still shifting right at redline. You know it's not fast enough :D
Lol the r6 is all but comfortable
Best bike for me indeed, I started on it and have never looked back. It's slow at the bottom end so it was a great beginner bike for me as I have alot of discipline and restraint...
Same, best of both worlds.. tame commuter but nasty when u want it
Exactly @@mikemac1180
Same here!
Same here easy for beginners in my opinion just keep it under 10k
@@alexchavez9083 well I got my 05 with 20k miles for 3k so I think that's doable lol I think even decent 06-14 bikes go for 5-7k
I bought an R6 as my first bike early this year! BEST DECISION EVER!🏍💨💨
How’s it going with that?
The best thing about riding an R6 is that it's tame at lower RPMs. BUT once you hit that 10k it feels like the boost just kicked in and there's no other feeling like it..it really feels like something is just pushing you from the back.. It's a monster of a bike once you want to go fast. The feeling once that power kicks in is scary but extremely fun.
Thanks~~~~
I remember the first time I rode an R1 from Reno to Virginia City... My heart will never be the same.
Or your back and wrists lol. 1st was so tall it was unreal.
@@deborahchesser7375 OMG Yes! My wrists on the way back down, especially since I was following my two friends from Cycle World Magazine. ❤😄
To help with the low end power do two things 1. Flash your ecu, yamaha restricts throttle response to meet emission standards, so flashing ur ecu can remove the restrictions and give you 100% power like it should be.
2. Add two teeth to rear sprocket and go down 1 on the front sprocket, this will increase acceleration
I love my 2009 R6. At first I had to get used to the riding position and lack of low end power but now I love those things. For commuting the lack of low end power is kinda nice because you can be lazy on the throttle. And even then it's faster than most cars are

@@PrettyUglyR6 dont sound too bad to me
@@karmasibu2261 yeah someone just keyed it yesterday left a big ass scratch how much will it cost to fix it
@@PrettyUglyR6 oh shit thats way to bad, some people just bums
I can't have a R6, my belly would rest on it.
I let my sack rest on mine
It’s funny he mentioned the light thing because someone just did that to me a few days ago. Plus I had a helmet and headphones in so I had no idea what he was saying at first.
Yea i get it a lot with my bike too.
Im like "there not twins" !!
Only twin head lights both light up at the same time.
These are individuals ! Lol 😂😂😂
Is there an easy mod I can do to make them both light up without it being a high beam? Like switching out the high beam bulb with a low beam bulb?
Literally everyone that doesn’t know bikes
06/07 Yamaha R6 was my first bike. Learnt on it and grew on it. Sold it a few years ago and going to buy another... probably the newer R6.
Is $6500 too much for a well taken care of 2008 Yamaha r6 with 6300 miles I’m in California ?
The R6 is by far the best sounding motorcycle out there in my opinion. Maybe not stock but with a full system they sound amazing
Totally agree!!
Love these super sport bikes, unfortunately that ship has sailed for me due to being old and fat 😂. The 1988 Honda hurricane 1000 made me fall in love with them.
Mr.Henderson it's never too late to start riding again!
Some workout and walking everyday and your good to go !
God bless 💯💪🏽
Honda because of the reliability I’ve seen 600rr with 80,000 miles
I just love how this thing looks! 🔥
Sean’s ride/review video titles are hilarious. 1 year it will be “why you want this bike”. Next year it’s “why you should NEVER buy this bike”
I’m actually from around the area where he reviewed this bike. Landisville PA
You know what I hate when I go riding. I hate when I'm at the red lights in a turn. I just don't know where to park the bike so the freaking light would turn green. I freaking would be at turning light where everybody would turn green while my light wouldn't turn unless some car is behind me. I would get so freaking mad that I would just run through the red light.
In N.C., we have a law specifically adressing the " lights won't change for bikes" thing. I wait, if one cycle of light change goes, and leaves mine red, or you can see you didn't trip the wire, I just go, if safe. Never had a problem.
@@treeguyable of course when it's safe, and clear I do go. Now I got a new problem. Today I just head up to the red lights, and I parked right beside a riced out Honda Civic with big ole coffee can muffler, spoiler stinking high makes it look like a shopping cart, and cheap looking parts all around. wannabe racer, but he's nothing but a ricer. Why are these idiots see a sport bike they want to race? I'm not into racing, or much of speed since my bike is only a 300cc. So when the light turned green this fool want to prove something by peeling out to the next light, of course I wouldn't have any part of it, so I just let him do his thing. I did confront this moron when I reached him at the next red light with sarcasm. I said, oh my God what a race car, youre so fast man. Last thing I said was moron! The sheer stupidity of his act, and seeing that I didn't participate, in my comments to him. I think he got embarrassed and just made a turn somewhere else. Why are these morons they want to race in public streets? I didn't give any hints, or looked at them that I want to race. Like I said I'm all for the ride, and seeing different locales. When I'm in the freeway I may tend to go a little fast, but I would never jeopardize my life with this nonsense.
@@ilive4d80s6 I have been riding since the 70s. People always want to challenge a bike, whether it be a soccer mom in the slow ass suv, the guy in the work truck, or van, or ricers, ( I actually have 4 ricer bikes on the road) especially Jeeps, and Dodges, Dodge Rams. My v twins are very fast, my R1 is stupid fast . When they find they can't come close, they will run the next red light to prove they can " beat " me. I try to maintain, but it's hard knowing anything I ride, can blow away most anything on the road. I drive 2 slow ass pickups, and my dump truck is super slow. I guess I can take it easy on those days.
If there's a "box" on the ground near the stop line, stop with the engine of your bike right above an edge of the box. That box is the sensor, and it detects metal, not weight.
@@ministerpillowes Isn't the wheel alloy metal?
I have the same 2014 model, i love it! I also love the nature of less power at low end it means i can ride it and take liberties without any surprises however if i want animal speed i drop a couple of gears and im off to 16500 rpm land.. when im in fun mode i never see gears 4-6 lol
Exactly why I bought the R6 and love the 600cc class in general. I love cruising around and when I want to I can open throttle 👍
Sean, could you please review the 2021 Triumph Boneville Speedmaster
I'm also interested in this. Comfy to sit on (the frame catches your inner thighs at standstill though) and I would love to see a full review.
I Just wanted to leave a message that I received my SRK Cycles sweat shirt and it was delivered quickly and it's great quality. Thanks again!
I would love to have an R6. They are insanely fast and sound incredible!👍👍🔥🔥🔥❤
I have a 2020 R6 and they neutered the hell out of it in the tune. I sold a 2011 R6 to a buddy and it is way faster than the new one. Both stock. You need an ECU tune to really get the power out of the new ones.
That was the same 0 to 60 as the hayabusa video 😂
ive noticed more girls looking at me just with my KLR 650. chicks dig bikes and they dont seem to be too picky about what bike youre on.
I wanted to love the r6 but the zx6 just had everything i wanted for street riding, not to mention a better price point.
I agree on the price point but just looked at new ones and the colors are god awful. They had a teal and white or the krt colors and I hate green not to mention the red with it.
Yamaha is #1! I bleed blue! The FZ09 is a sick bike!
My 2017 has a little buzz on my booty at 8k that tells me it's woken up. I had it tuned to streamline that low-end power, tho. But it definitely lives at the highs
"They like like a hybrid between a robot and a bug" I couldn't get a more accurate description frl
Hello Sean
Glad to see you are spreading Gods word. And your not afraid to have fun. Stay safe my Brother. As a side note I would love to hear you do a review on a old YamahaXS 650.
The Word is always a good thing😎👍
Thanks~~~~
@@pnnedbysrkcycles6713 your quite welcome,, I've been riding for 4+ decades 😎🤙& a believer just as long
I wish I could bend my left leg enough to ride a super sport again I miss it.. a 600 is perfect for me..but that said I ride a grom scooter clone 50cc and its still fun. 2 wheels till I die my freind god bless you
My left leg is losing some bend, but, at 64, riding my 06 R1, seems to help a little, who knows?
@@treeguyable it sux but we do what we can..I was in a bike wreck and had my leg re attached ..mu knee only has the ability to bend a little bit...but I still ride tho it took me a long time to get back on... I wish you the best my freind.thanx for the reply brother
@@joshuataft5541 Yea that does suck. Sorry to hear that. Be careful.
@@treeguyable thank you very much...it was hell healing and recovering ..my body is trashed and life has never been the same..happened in o8..this is the first year I've been back on 2 wheels it's scary but been amazing. I will feel dumb if I get hit again..I was going around a blind corner and a guy teaching his son to drive stalled a Toyota on the curve where there driveway is..I wasnt speeding but was no time to slow down..tried to get around and hit the bumper after rolling down the road I couldn't get up and noticed I was sitting on my leg.was hangout g by flesh..took a year but I'm back togeather tho limited..I hope it's ok I told you details. It happens but im more happy with a bike..I felt left out. Had one since 6 yrs old so it was part of my identity so thpught..its jst good to get out there when im having a bad day..but I will day when close calls happen im close to breaking down emotionally..not in a bad way it jst makes you think ..but anything worth doing is dangerous in my experience...I wana say thanx from the bottom of my black heart. It has been a road that has been beuitiful and hell somtimes in one day..so thanx. Some people jst dont get it. Sory for the long reply jst wanted to say I appreciate the support. It realy helps me realize im doing the right thing👍🤤✌💚👍
@@treeguyable you be careful to my freind..try to keep an upside down frown..
Definitely need the words of wisdom and some good riding gloves before launching that rocket ship! Hard to believe they don't make R6 model any longer.
I told my wife I NEEDED an r6 and it didn't go very well!!! Lol
Probably won't see this but my 2003 Yamaha r6 has a tick everyone says its normal I heard a small tick in yours so I'm starting to think it is normal but.. mine gets louder up to 5k rpms then it's no longer noticeable
i got the yamaha r6 as my first bike. first tattoo was of the yamaha logo on my arm. on my 3rd yamaha and now i need the R6 again before it's too late!
Thanks~~~~
Is $6500 too much for a well taken care of 2008 Yamaha r6 with 6300 miles I’m in California ?
I absolutely loved and miss my r6. I had a 2003 r6 Troy Lee design graphics the black and red one, and yeah, I had it less than 6 months and it got stolen 😒 been wanting another one since.
I know this post is a bit old but I’m deciding between this gen of r6 or the new aprilia rs457
Go to a motorcycle course with something like a BMW s1000rr and act like you dont know about the bike.
But it’s not a CBR, so…
Heard that, brother
It has a slow acceleration
I have a 1997 Yamaha YZF750, of the big 4 I would consider yamaha to be my least favorite but I love old bikes and I got it for a good price. What I love about it over any new 600 is that it has a very linear power band, It makes good power from 3000 to its 13K redline. 750 Is the magic displacement, Rides good in town, cruises great on the highway and at wide open it still outruns new 600s
It doesn't outrun new 600s
must be a new channel been months no yrs since a video on this channel its like they still sell bikes well maybe we never see them buy bikes nor test ride or video the ones they sell
Nah the r6 doesn't have that good rocket sound with a stock exhaust it sounds like a little put put ninja250
Sadly I’ve been waiting for email back I connected your dealership for a bike
Im a new rider, been riding since july and i love my 2012 r6 i thinks its perfect
Yes love my r6..👍
Yamahas are the yeezes of motorcycles
Your channel is amazing! I have watched every video and by far my favorite channel ever. Thanks for the great videos! I would love to see a Honda CRF450L or hear your opinion on them in one of your videos, as I have been DYING to get one for myself someday. Keep up the great work!
Thanks~~~~
0-60 in "4.12" Pittsburgh Pennsylvania baby!
“Or that guy, that I didn’t like in HS. He drove a SUZUKI!” 😤
I'm 17 and already want to get one of those as my first bike, I finished my MSF course too
Um. No.
I never had a need for a shift indicator. All you got to do is listen and feel the bike, it will tell you.
I know why you think we need one right now......cuz you have one to sell. Lol🤣🤣
I have a 2018 triumph street triple RS with a 765cc and I've never ridden a R6 but was wondering how they compare? My triumph is crazy fast lol
6 month old question but I feel I can give you a solid answer. My ex actually used to have a Street Triple we did a drag race with em. The Triumph stuck within a bike length up to about 100mph. After that the R6 pulled away. It seems they have very similar power and the fairings made all the difference at higher speed. That being said the Triumph has a smoother power curve and is easier to launch. The R6 takes a very skilled rider to launch well
@@caseyheeren5087 awesome thanks for getting back to me 👍
My favorite was 2007. Red and white.
The 600 I rode kept up decently with the other bikes until I had to shift to a higher gear to go faster and the 1000s just kept going. When they hit 100 they were just switching to 3rd gear I think.
Thanks~~~~
I miss my Honda cbr600rr so much I want to buy another bike so bad aaaah.
except the R series everything from yamaha is rat shit. hail KTM!!!
Hi my name is Roberto I have a suzuki intruder volusia I want to put new 14" handlebars and I don't know what size cables I need to purchase or if I can use the factory one I also needs to know what dimensions size handlebars I needs to purchase that fit my risers because I think the one for harley davidson doesn't fit can you please help me with this information? I watch your videos and I thought you may be can help me with this thank you for all of the information you put on TH-cam for us thank you again God bless you
Thanks~~~~
If bikes were sold for $1 per RPM small displacement 4cyl bikes would be the most expensive
I have a 2017 1300 miles stopped riding. Selling for $6000. It has minor scratches from a low side. Everything was checked out and a new battery. It's basically brand new minus some scratches on the fairings.
Hello,
You guys still have that bike?? Thanks.
Love to hear that thing scream, adrenaline rush while laying in bed.
You can gear them down a tad and it gets rid of that low end bogging. EZ
just get it dyno tuned.
I have a2016 636 and it was a beast in the lower end, but it was running very rich. It would pull hard on every gear almost, got it dyno tuned then the bike got slow as hell. it ended up just like this r6. Bc the rpm was at 6k at like 60mph. So i took it back, and he re did it and it was doing it bc kawasaki put eco mode on the bike. So now its back to normal, alot smoother and still wakes up at 10k and up but low and mid end is still pretty aggressive without harming the engine.
R6 is not a bike you need right now. It's mostly a track bike.
Why is the right (front) brake lever so ganked up ????
And you can purchase this bike from SRK cycles for only$10,900. What a deal... NOT.
My 2021 zx6r was 10,200 about 4 months ago brand new
More than it was new Lmao
I traded my R6 for a GSX-S 1000 and somedays I regret it....but my back doesn't haha
0:54 Yamaha, looks awesome, Kawasaki looks awesome, Honda looks ancient.
That stock exhaust sounds amazing! Never looked at the crotch rockets, but this one definitely has me thinking.
Thanks~~~~
A lot of older sports bikes have the inline 4 as well lol Kawasaki kx650 Suzuki gs650 Yamaha xj650 Honda cb750 your Big 4 the Sport Bike's that started Today's Sport Bikes you know what I'm saying Sean
Scared to ask her out…Happy to go 130 in a 70😎
I really don’t like the headlight thing that’s my only problem
