Default Rode an r6 for about an hour today

holy ****! i like love and i hate it at the same time.

pros:
-fast
-felt light (that could also be a con too)
-projector lights, it looks really good at night. i love the cut off that it has

cons:
-its such an aggressive sitting bike. i felt that all of my upper body weight was resting on my arms
- wind hits really hard when im not tucked in under the wind screen, so i tended to tuck myself in more, even when i wasnt going THAT fast
- all the power is in the high revs, so when i first hit the throttle, i thought the bike was broke, and then all of a sudden!!!!

i love it and hate it at the same time.

Basically everything you just described is what my friends have said. Aggressive rider stance, and high end power. The only downside to the top end power is it's not as rider friendly for every day riding, but will run like a raped ape once up there. I'm sure everyone already knows this.

The R6, even from its inception is a track bike with lights. If that doesnt clear it up, put race skins on it and safety wire it and its race/track ready.

Bout like the RR's but Yamaha couldnt figure out how to make a race bike comfy on the street as well as Honda has been able to for years.
