Yamaha r6 2004-2005

Is a 2004 2005 Yamaha R6 a good stunt bike or should I go with a Gixxer 600 04-07??

If you go R6 hold out for a 05 they have better forks (inverted) and brakes than the rest of the years of that body style.

Gixxers had weak frames in the years you have listed, they like to brake right behind the neck

So would it be better if I went with the 2006 Gixxer 600??

What you think about the 636's and what would be a good year to get?

Re: Yamaha r6 2004-2005

Ive had both and the gsxrs frames suck, you have to mod the **** oput of them if they are ocver a 05. SO overall ide go aith the R6, it would make a better bike and they take a hella beating. I ride a Kawi now but ide like to get another R6 to stunt
