2006 R6

http://tinyurl.com/cx8pe

Just been for a look at this, one was put on display at a local hotel.
It's utterly spanking gorgeous, no dodgy underseat exhaust and a rear
end reminiscent of a Gixxer K5. Back breakingly cramped for a crock like
me but right up there in the *want* category.

One trusts *someone* will bring it to BOSM for CIHAGM.

 

Not my type of bike, as I can't fold myself up like I used to be able to do.
It's a bugger when you get older, flexibility seems to disappear!
But..
What a beeeeaauutiful looking machine.
I wouldn't mind having one, prolly be when I'm re-incarnated though.

You know you're getting old when you can't reach to blow yourself any
more. :-(

 

That fairing is stunningly ugly but it works. It's also black beyond
black - I want one.

*badly*

Lovely, but still at least 150cc too small in the engine department.

 

err, in the 1200cc version, obviously.

I saw one last week at Onyerbike and have to agree.

It is indeed the dog's danglies.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, 'Hog amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

I've sat on one, nice but you wanna see what they've done to the back of
it to put the numberplate and indicators on!

 

Well, if anyone does bring one to the BOSM, I'm long overdue a rematch.

Not really - but thanks for playing, do try again another time.

It didn't help at all. What the **** is that supposed to be?

 

All it needs is a bit more chrome

 

And 100 more BHP.

 

Over and above the 150 [1] that it's got out of the crate?

[1] about 3.6bhp at the back wheel on the dyno

 

it doesnt here, but you're not missing 'owt.
