Love the r6 I have a 2014

[@We-Cook-It]

Would like to have it 👌🏽👍🏽💯

[@IvoryOxen]

I know you were wearing your helmet on the sound check, something tells me you were full teeth smiling while doing that.

[@marlonmalwatta3760]

Lol cant get a bike right now due due to financial circumstances but if I were to win it that would change 😂

[@charlesmurithi413]

would love to know if there is an African who has ever won..... am from KENYA

[@arch417powersports]

Not going to lie, I was a little upset when they stopped making the R6 for street use.

[@petebusch9069]

Why, its a horrible street bike and is made for the track.

[@marcustaylor3528]

They’ve been mechanically the same bike since 2008 😂 quit crying and just keep one

[@Bedron]

@@petebusch9069 Why is not for street? xd, shut ur mouth ahah

[@luislaurencio]

@@petebusch9069 because half of us are into motorcycles because you could ride something like this brand new for 11k. The pull that supersports have for people coming into motorcycles will never be matched by a naked bike. And liter bikes are too expensive

[@19910313]

@@luislaurencio uhm they went for 14k brand new dont forget taxes & fees

[@hexedhero467]

I had a bad back before getting my r6 and honestly. My back feels better. I feel like it forces me to straighten my back and correct my poor stature and in that way my back feels less pressure than even just sitting in my car.

[@paulhunter9999]

me too thou.... thanks for the sharing

[@natepettis7012]

Needed to hear this! Got a 2018 r6 this year and i hurt my L2 a few years back

[@TrizerFlame]

Bikes like these have their place on the track and in our hearts so no matter how unpractical it may be bikers will ride. I personally want either the MT-07 or R7 but the R6 has a kit with a look I would love to have.

[@IJustFartedPoo]

I still want to ride an r6 like I’m in the pits at a track on the road rather than ride a pit bike that looks like a track bike on the road

[@themongoose7647]

All we need now is a zx6r first ride

[@p.p4941]

That would be cool

[@hamedhassan9249]

agreed

[@justultrra3568]

Oooh man can't wait till mountain gets a hold of some zx4r's and see it's first ride

[@Cotivity]

Haha! you sly dog!

[@creaperassassin450]

indeed

[@KengCheong]

I have watched so many reviews on the R6 and everyone seems to agree that it’s a absolutely terrible bike for city driving. But it’s one of those bikes that despite all those, I still want one regardless

[@RK-hu4of]

Such a gorgeous bike with an unmatched racing pedigree, I've always wanted one since I could remember but this gen of r6 do get real pricey! I've been bouncing between an fz09, an r6, and a gsxr750 as my next bike coming from an fz07. Awesome content, keep up the good work and thanks for providing us the amazing opportunity to win a bike like this, good luck to all that enter.

[@henryzhang6832]

Same here brotha

[@Maryland_Motorcycle_Rides]

I have the exact same bike. I love it. I've had the CBR, the ZX6r and personally, I think the R6 outclasses them all

[@Smooose]

Such a sick bike! Damn I wish they didn't discontinue the street R6 😢

[@kugangles9860]

I wish Yamaha made a more upright naked with that 600 power plant. That way it doesn't torture your back and wrists on the way to the twisty stuff.

[@webvideoproducts12]

I had an R6 for three years, not my first bike. I wore great gear. Winding it up is a beautiful experience. True, visibility behind is sketchy, so go 117 and just keep everything behind you. I would drag it entering the highway. Any blast from stop resulted in 107. It feels pretty crappy at low speed or on rotten pavement. Keep the arms loose and let it shimmy with road imperfections. Pinch the knees, Zen with the bike. Countersteer, slide the butt. Bikes don't wreck, people do. Never had a "thing". I had a beautiful day on the California Coast HWY 1 near Greyhound Rock and it felt so stable (like sitting on a couch) I passed a semi on the double yellow with oncoming traffic around 90+. Only look at the speedo when letting off. Even so I think I kept a pretty cool head considering what it COULD have done with that power and stability. That was my last big ride and I sold it without dying. Now I ride my Honda XR650L and keep it sporting but mellow. Ride that bike like a circus tricycle.

[@kenshinhimura3014]

I think supersports should be keep in the street and track...... they look beautiful and inspire other to get in to riding. Supersport are like a luxury/exotic cars; something to look at and admire for what they are. Having said that; each person should try one and see for them self if the bike/ riding experience is a "thing" they will like. Having "a choice" of what kind of bike a person can get/own and we're or how they should use it shouldn't be something companies or other people interfere with. JUST MY OPINION 😁

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Supersports have a place. Just NOT in a everyday daily street riding/commuting way. That being said I've rode a supersport/sportbike for most of my riding career and got the back to prove it. Still you'd be hard pressed to find a more beautiful bike. The R6 is cult level iconic and is loved the world over. Having had one I find myself comparing every sportbike to it. Aside from the Daytona 675R it's my favourite sportbike. I'm also surprised Chase didn't mention when he entered the highway on ramp about now crossing over the border into Mexico. As that was always a thing in the past when hooligan Chase did any highway runs. So congrats on taming the inner psychopath Chase.

[@waunch76]

Oh yeah, he had that white Datona!!😃

[@540tactical6]

I have a matte gray 2018 R6 that I ride on street and track and I love it on both. Does my throttle hand get tired and does my back hurt on long rides? Hell yeah. Does it deter me? Absolutely not lol. I will say, my first bike was a ninja 300 and when I test rode the R6, the first 10 minutes I didn't really like it, it felt big, and the body position felt awkward. However the next 20 minutes I Absolutely fell in love it and when I rode the the ninja 300 to its new owner, basically redlining at 80mph, I didn't know how I ever felt comfortable on it. You have riden many more bikes than me so you have alot to compare the R6 to, so I'm sure it must feel quite terrible to ride on the street compared to a naked bike 🤣 regardless, I look forward to watching the build and hope to see you guys do some cool stuff! Stay safe out there 🤙

[@boontarin]

I just noticed that 6000 rpm on the tach is R6! I love that quirky thing.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

😁👍

[@leong8769]

I bought an brand new 2020 r6 back then, and I have only put 1k miles on it since I don't ride it much, thought about selling it a few times and now I am glad that I kept it.

[@chase_7166]

Back on the r6👍🏻

[@rmillzy77]

OC. Yes super sports should be available for the street! Not everyone can do track days plus it’s so worth the back pain

[@SJW82]

I’ve just been watching back 2 back ADV videos…and CHRIST! I felt the jump up in massive speed, relaxing on my sofa 😂💨

[@nathankong8732]

I think the 2019 blue yamaha r6 is the best looking version because of the added blacks

[@KingGixxelot]

I like how he said let’s see what it sounds like before the build i can hear it in his voice he already ordered the new exhaust 😂

[@lolb4udie]

2018 has one of the best looking White/Silver combo in the market

[@tumolucky17]

I own a 2017 r6 and never want to sell it , great bike!!

[@qikmik6673]

OC - ZX-10R is the perfect commuter. Power everywhere for whatever you need!

[@alanb6196]

2002-2003 was the best looking R6. The blue with the white blocking graphic was perfection.

[@4amhussle492]

Damn I want that bike can't wait to see what next with this build!

[@Shaneyaboy]

Chase your camera skills are beautiful

[@powamoto]

Cool bike Chase you looked great wonderful sportsbike

[@freeworldneedsfreethinking]

I got a 2003 love it

[@idonwantella2824]

If you do not ride this gen R6, Traction Control is actually reducing power. Turn it off and you can hear the difference in power...Still using stock grips at 24k miles.

[@nbayard]

OC: If supersports weren't sold anymore, what would people use at the track? Is everyone going to have to add clip ons and race fairings to naked bikes?

[@cloroxmints355]

i think the goal is for companies to start selling bikes prepped for track use from factory that arent street legal. idk the details but theres still the r6 race and r6 gytr that look very sick and are track only

[@vegaspony]

the percentage of people that do any kind of track riding is so small that there's not much reason for manufacturers to really care. if they could figure out a way to repackage the engine in a bunch of other platforms like is done with the cp2, cp3, hondas 500s and 1100s, etc. they could afford to keep making supersports but what else are you going to use those inline 4 600s for?

[@ZyamCh]

but its a beauty... you better make it God Tier looking.

[@nismo_north1097]

Honestly i live out in the country and would say Supersport bikes are awesome for the twisty roads! I don't live near a city and would never ride a sport bike in the city, and there's too many idiots on the road in high populated areas so I try and stay away 😅

[@Smallbore2wheels]

OC: holy saturation batman 26:38 lol I may be biased due to my preference for smaller bikes but for street use super sports seem like a waste of time and money. Where are you gonna go fast if you're stuck in stop and go traffic in the city? Must be really amazing to ride your super sport at 55mph in between red lights 😂 🤷🏻‍♂️

would be cool do a video going from fzr to r6 mine just so happens to be blue too

Hey bro, have you ride the 2023 Yamaha R1??? That motorcycle is so sweet

I Love the r6. My r6 is a 2007 converted to a 2020 wouldn’t trade it 4 the world 😅😂😂😂

[@Spartan375X]

oc I have never been on a bike like an R6 and above, but I'm fine if they are out on the markets. I just think that you're just limited to streets and highways.

[@lasandasandeepa2516]

That's awesome bike 🤩

[@aaronferguson9328]

im drooling over a newer r6 i love my 09 but id kill to trade for a hornet head

[@GabeItchess]

getting into the motorcycle scene would love to own one of these baddies fr😂😂 may God bless me wit the best and i get all requirements done and i’m riding freeeee wit y’all 🔥🙌🏻

[@paul.vanhout57]

I don’t think we had coined the term supersport yet but the 600s of the late 80s and 90s were decent road bikes and had plenty of a sporting DNA. The lazer focused track orientation of the late generation supersports and super bikes for that matter make them less desirable for us aging mortals😟

[@charleswilson4526]

I think that’s what is a detriment for the future of these bikes. Then again, lower the legs and raise the bars and you’re on

[@sly_sync]

I doordash full time on my GP supersport R1M. pays more than my local sheriffs get paid

[@4amhussle492]

I'm sure that's is true I use to work 3 and a half years ago at a local sheriffs office here in GA after moving from Long Island NY an the pay to risk was terrible

[@dsav77gaming90]

I'm 6'4 250lbs and wanna get a Yamaha r6, I love this bike but i've heard it's uncomfortable for tall people is that true

Can you lower the pegs cause on the GSXR you can do that

what happend at 26:40 it seems like someone screwed with the colorgrade.

[@lucaric6935]

Looks like lots of r6 got spun bearing/ connecting rod failure issues?

[@minitwist2822]

Listen Chase I think you should get an H2 for the daily thats just me tho

[@chaseontwowheels]

Do you know how fast I'd end up killing myself if I daily rode one of those? That being said if Kawasaki wanted to drop a loaner off I"m 100% down.

[@LeeTillbury]

The swingarm should be blasted back to bare aluminum then polished if you're gonna replicate an R1M

[@glowchild500]

Oc they have a place for sure just ideally you’d have a second bike for commuting on 😂

Where on this bike i can find the relay flasher my indicator wont work not even show in my dashboard?

[@shanemartinson5006]

Watching and listening to you about the body position (city riding) lol If you think that is learned over in a race position I'll bring my ducati 1098 and see what you say about that, lol Great vid though

[@Johntho22994]

Is the r6 good size for me im 6 feet?

[@adammiller9179]

Everyone has a different definition of "practical" for a motorcycle. Supersports fit my description perfectly. Nothing is better for my daily riding. Long trips is a slightly different story. I'm one person that is appalled by Yamaha's decision to replace this bike with a disgusting twin cylinder. APPALLED! I'm switching to Honda CBR. They even kept the the under-tail exhaust, another plus.

[@piruchiruchi]

If r3 looks like that ill buy it without 2nd thought

[@SloneOfficial1]

cold rev?

[@carthius]

Newr rider question. Atm i dont feel im experienced enough to upgrade from my R3. However i have been thinking about what i would upgrade to and initially i thought it should naturally be R6. However people say R6 isnt made for anything other than track..... Ok so should i go R7?? I cant imagine i should go R1??? and when i upgrade i wouldnt want to go just an extra 20mph faster (my R3 tops out at 104)... so what should the upgrade be too??

[@popdatclutch3010]

You could always go gsxr600 or kawasaki. Those ergonomics are better. But don’t be closed off to nakeds

[@razy7609]

An R1 is probably just as made for the track as an R6. For a good step in power that you can use well like you said an R7 would be a great bike. CBR650 is always a super good bike for around the power I think you’d like

[@popdatclutch3010]

@@razy7609 i have a cb650r and it’s dope

[@DAAN_MUSIC]

Just get the R6 and you will love it. 😉✌️

[@cloroxmints355]

the jump from starter to liter bike would be insane if you dont have many many miles under your belt and/or if you dont uave the self discipline to keep it in a low power mode and gradually step yourself up. remember that a liter bike is only like 50-100 lbs more but has QUADRUPLE THE POWER. im currently on a ninja 250 and i actually want to get off the street and onto the track asap but thats just me. best way to go is start a relationship with a local dealer and teat ride some bikes that youre interested in. nakeds might be more for you on the street or maybe a ninja 650/r7 if you want a sportier look but streetability. the 600's and liter bikes really are going to be best on track and kinda suck most other places.
