my brother just bought a new r6. i rode it home because he had his car and i wanted to ride it. my opinion: engine and tranny are alot like the gixxers 600. alot of header noise but a nice sound. liked the way i was sitting on the bike riding but at stop lights it was too wide by the crotch and dug into my inner thighs, not fond of that. NO and i mean NO get up and go until 13000 rpm. no mid range at all, def a bike that is make for high rpm. over all a nice bike but too much like the gixxer. i wouldnt mind getting caught riding it by other people. but nothing and i mean nothing will get me away from my RR.

 

yeah it's a great track bike if you can hold onto those high revs

 

Even though they are close to the same size, I felt cramped on the R6 (6' 220) where I don't on my F4...must be the ergos...
