Re: R6?

I think another thing is the balance point. When I see pictures of me on my R6 at BP compared to others it looks like my front end is way higher. This leads me to believe that the R6 has almost all of it's weight towards the front, thus making the BP smaller and less room for up, down, side to side fluctuation. Please tell me if this sounds right because I've only ridden a handful of other bikes. I'm about to ride F4i bandwagon because it sounds easier to stunt.

Re: R6?

Re: R6?

To fragile but i guess for some people they last. i had an fi cage on mine and it completly destroyed the bike engine frame both are toast. if you put a cage on it get a tiger shark or allout performance spring loaded sliders will take some of the load when you drop it. if you put something solid it will just snap the frame in half and go right through the engine and youll have yourself a totaled bike. Dont make the same mistake i did sell and get an f4i, solid as a rock

My good friend had an 05 also. It had fi cage and bar. cage worked good, the bar was iffy cuz the frame and subrame are cast, and once the integrety is shot(drilling holes, cracks, ect...) it puts microscopic cracks throughout the area of aluminum. The bike was NEVER subjected to hard abuse, it was a skilled rider, reg coaters, circles for days, long wheelies never taken high on rpm's, engine pooped under 10k, always maitnenced correctly w. extra half quart.

Re: R6?

i have a 04 r6 and i love it, i can barely do sh*t as far as stunts go, but for the lil i can do its perfect. r6, f4i, gixxer, etc... are all sportbikes, capable of stunting IMO. gotta agree wit ck76, rock what you like. if i could stunt a goldwing as good as a f4i, fu**** A id do it up.

Re: R6?

The 03-04 R6 is soooo easy to wheelie, stoppies rock too, but you wreck once and the subframe and clip-ons will snap off.

The 05 throttle is choppy, probably because of the huge *** throttle bodies.

Re: R6?

Hey man the R6 kicks ***....just like CTSTUNTER said...its awesome...the only thing you have to do it to keep it good is the sub frame just like everyone has said so far...and as JOHNF stated there in the process of making a bad *** subframe for ...... or u can just do it like we did and just build your own and not have to worry about it anymore (thanks JOHN) :YEAH but ya the stock subframe sucks ***..and that's the main reason everyone is real quick to say the r6 **** ***..when they have probably never rode one...cuz i had someone ride my r6 before and after the subframe problem and they love it..wouldn't switch to one but he liked it and just doesn't want to admit it

but just reinforce the subframe build a newone whichever...throw a cage on it,, sprockets and chain and a hand brake it's the perfect ****in bike.

Now I biuld custom subframes for the R6 and any other bike. as far as the bike itself, Its a great bike it has a skinny frame and tank and its light weight. there are a few things you need to do before you get serious.Ill tell you more if you wanna know.
