- I noticed that there was some bad clipping in the last vid and that I left a couple things out, so I redid it real fast today. Let me know if you have any questions and enjoy!
Mods:
Two Bros titanium black series slip on exhaust
ASV C-5 shorty levers
Frame Sliders
Zero Gravity Windscreen
Integrated Tail Light
Flush mount turn signals
Been riding since 16 yrs old. In 1988 . All weather rider. Last bike was 12 years ago. Cbr 1000. Finally some old friends and a few relative's decided we would all get bikes and ride. I got a clean 2012 r6. At almost 50. Its a bit uncomfortable to ride. But the thrill and love for sportbikes still flows through my veins. And on Sundays. I get to feel a bit like i did at 21 years old in the Military in North Carolina. When i bought my 1st sportbike. A 1993 FZR 600. Great rides on the East coast. Great ride this Sunday. Heres to you !!!!
Woow R6 has always been my dream bike...I love the simple mods you got on this,So impressive and uniquely aggresive bruh.Take care of it alot
Got My new Yamaha R6
just 3 months ago, only 3 days left to ride this year
winter is coming.
most fun bike IMO
very nice mods. normally black bikes all look the same but you did a good job on this one. very unique look
I'm roughly 5'8", nearly 5'9".
Thanks! I'm loving it. Got a few more mods coming soon, and I picked up a camera so I can do 'real' videos now!
Awesome Bike, nice mods, I just got my R6 a couple of moths ago and even thought I haven't really been riding it, I love it. I also plan to do the fender eliminator and the front signals. Keep it up
With my old R6 I had some wrist issues after a couple of hours, but that all goes away the more you ride. I replaced the grips to some gel grips and it removed the problem right away. On the 2012 I haven't needed to replace the stock grips, they're actually very comfortable.
Nice review, would you recommend this bike for a beginner rider, or would it be too much?
"Flush mounts, you can still see them during the day," dude, no car can EVER see those things… Just saying.
Sick bike bro!! Love your R6! Looks awesome
This is a great video. I just cashed my 899. (Not my fault) Anyway I love the R6 and I appreciate your input and feedback on the bike. I'm hoping next week we see the 2017 and what it will look like. Drive safe.
Whats up Lostboheme,Not my account so dont pay attention to the picture on the right,lol,but anyway just bought the 2012 YZF R6 Pearl white with skull graphic package wow sick bike love it.Liked your video looking for some good ideas.Im in Indiana just went to motor GP this last weak end got kickass response on the bike.I made a good choice.
I don't remember the brand name I got, but they're a simple set of smoked lense flush mount turn signals in the front and integrated turn signals in the back. I had the option to use a relay to slow the blink but I prefer not to, just because I think the faster strobe catches attention easier. Safer that way, in my opinion. Kind of a "LOOK HERE I AM I'M TURNING!"
Pretty much everything. I'm being lazy and letting the shop put the gpr on my bike next week but other than that I do everything I can. It wasn't too hard to learn, just have to look up how-to videos. Which is why I started making some!
Very nice, can't go wrong with black!
Thanks! I'm thinking I'm probably going to get a GPR V4. It's a little more in my price range and if I have to choose a top mounted damper, I like the look of the GPR more.
Your bike sounds awesome man!!! This is my dream bike :D Close to getting my motorcycle license so I'm a beginner. Gonna start off with the ninja 300 so I can work on my skills. Hopefully one day I will have me one of these works of art :)
sounds cool man.. already subbed :P
you able to flat foot it or are you on your toes?.. sorry for all the questions lol
getting a 2010 model but never sat on one :/
Nothing like Yamaha 🤤🖤
Im getting a bike soon and i can't decide between a 2012 Yamaha R6 or a Kawasaki Ninja Zx-6R 636.
Between speed, handling, appearance, and gas mileage, which is better?
Such a beautiful bike! Thanks for sharing, enjoy it!
Beautiful bike!
damn man i wish some one wold treat me as well as you treat your bike, you bike is awesome
Go to a gay bar then be treated NICELY
You’re wobbling because your tires are either uneven or the balance is off. Ive has 3 of there 08, 08, 12 currently and you’re better off spending your money on learning how to adjust the suspension. These bikes have the best geometry once you learn how. Gpr would stiffen it up. It will slow you down in corners.
Black...
hahaha "black"
Great bike with a nice color. My bike black painted too..
Beautiful bike man I love it! Flawless!
What kind of turn signals are those (front & rear)? Do they blink fast or did you use a relay to slow the blink rate down to normal? You should make a video of the rear signals. There are so many out there, I don't want to make the mistake of getting a pair that looks cheap or trashy.
The passenger thinks you should consider fixing the slipperiness of the passenger seat so the passenger's wrists aren't as sore after riding around for a few hours. And so you don't complain about me bumping into you all the time :)
They are higher but it's not uncomfortable. But if you're like me, you've got little legs and more torso.
hey man, does the "dash" show how much gas you have left, time, gear your in, all at the same time?
How do the foot pegs feel, I heard that they were a bit higher than the regular bikes. Is it uncomfortable? The foot pegs I mean.
Thats one thing I found sitting on a sports bike at a show, my legs felt really hunched up
while i agree that you can see tht plate just fine, damn near every cop will disagre, it has to within 20 degrees of verticle ive been told by many cops. also has to be horizontal apparently even though its just as easy for them and their cameras to read
No gas gauge or gear indicator on a stock r6. But you do have a clock!
I believe it. I'm workin on it just been doing some research on what would be best. You say the pp3s? I'll check em out, thanks!
Do you still have this bike bro? Would love to own one for my self. And rebid what's necessary. As you said. Ain't got the coin for a new one.
I own a 2012 R6 as well and I noticed the seats are really slippery. My girlfriend rides with me a lot and she complains that the seat is way too slick. Did you ever get any seat covers yet or found a way to make the seat not as slippery?
Would this be a good beginning bike
Depends on who you are...
What did you say about the clutch? You mentioned something along the lines of removing the jerkiness from shift 1st to 2nd...
I would move that license plate back where it was. Mine sat like that and the next thing I knew my tail light cracked because the tire shot a rock right up to it. And it stinks because my r6 is a 2012 and it has an aftermarket brake light with a crack.
Hey great review, where can i find online the fender eliminator that you`ve installed??
Sweet bike! Is ur bike lowered?
hey man how r u liking the bike still? I am deciding between a r6 and zx6r currently.
What's your height? Does it feel comfortable with your height and position?
hey man, if u live in canada, i have a few question. How tall do you have to be? how much do you pay for ur insurance? insurance of car vs insurance of bike which one is more expensice? if you get ur m2 can you buy bikes like these and drive them?
replying will help me out a lot. thanks
thats a nice bike man. yea get yourself an ohlins steering damper. its a life saver!!!
how much miles does it have? and whats the highets speed it can go?
Hey where did you get the flush mount turn signals? I'm looking to get some for my cbr
I'm definitely selling my 07 Si and getting this bike. Fucking sexy as hell. Good job on the vid and recommendations
any particular place you would suggest a steering stabilizer from?
I love this bike! Look at that matte gross sh*t!!
@sovietbeatle8 I actually have a video coming about that soon. My mic should be arriving in a day or two so you'll see something within a week about this topic! keep an eye out :D

i love your bike man.. and you sound like a nice guy.. salam kenal dari indonesia.. :)
how tall are yew?
nice bike btw :P
Is the bike gloss black
nice mod on ur R6. my friend got the same one ..
I have the exact same bike as you, sup brethren.
Stuck between this and a gsxr both 600! any suggestions of why i should get one over the other?
My opinion is that it all comes down to what bike is more aesthetically pleasing to you.
this guy lost me from the biggening when he called "yahama" lol
Hhahaha
How much R6???
U got A really superb machine bro (y)
How much was thisbone
I just got a 2012 as my first bike it is the first 600 I will ride is there anything I should look out for? Like wobbling at certain speeds or turning in high or low speeds?
Firstimeshooter There's not really a noticeable wobble so long as your tires are balanced, but I HIGHLY recommend getting a steering damper of some sort. I love my GPR. Kills all wobble and keeps your front tire straight!
I would love one of these, but at 6 2" I think im too big :(
ok thanks! take care :)
what is the of mileage yamaha r6 ?
What are the diffrents between yamaha r6 and yamaha yzf r6?
They're the same. Unless you mean the old 600r version. But that hasn't been around since the 90s.
I like this bike, but the pointy tail bothers me so much!
jitterball that's one of the best Aesthetics of the bike tho!
Is it a RJ11 or RJ15?
Nice vid....
I like black bro
does it have a gas gage?
No. Just a gas light comes on and you better get to a station writhing 15 miles
What kind of Levers if you dont mind me asking?
They were ASV levers.
Lostboheme
Thanks Man 😎
lol in the beginning "yahama"
Yahama 😂
Damnnn♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯
How much do these cost new and used
look it up?
for the newer model, 6000-10000
Is 1.62m okay for my height to ride this r6?
John Ny definitely. but you wont be able to put your foot flat on the ground. might have to tip toe :D
Yes
I just got this bike same color
R6
0:06 yahama?!
beautiful sexy bike,,love it,,
no u cant man
Lol u should buy a scooter if you dont max out an R6
What is your hight?I am very interested in R6 like yours,but I am 6,2feet(192cm)
Will I fit on it :)
im the same hieght as you and i love my 2012 r6
Dude!!!You just made my day!!! :D
nice bike i know you like her ;)
Is there a fender eliminator on your bike?
Yes
The R6 is a bit higher than other supersports. I'm mostly torso, so I can't flatfoot it. But I rest easy on the balls of my feet. So not quite tiptoes.
im 20 years old im and i saved up for an r6/cbr600rr i still between what bike to get but i really love the r6 but the stearing stabbilizer worry me like when ur flying down the highway can u really notice that theres not one on the r6? and i herd the cbr600r is more userfriendly this would be my first street bike but i am very good on 2 wheel. i race dirtbikes and such so im kinda stuck on what to get any opinions????
Hey! was wondering how you did with your wrists on the road? I had a cbr 600 rr my former dream bike wich was stolen. And I thinking about saving up for an r6 but the thing that is holding me back is that 80% of the riders complain about their wrists after 20minutes.... let me know? Andrew
I was looking into purchasing one the other day, but the issue is I cant reach the ground very well, on my toes. I'm 5'9' Ive always have stayed with 500's...idk lol an R6 has always been on my mind
