(2017-2021) Yamaha YZF R6 vs Old (2006-2016) Yamaha R6! | Old or New?

[@werehogrider53167]

Guy riding the old R6 wasn’t even shifting at redline during those pulls, and y’all were using the dang clutch to upshift 😭

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Neither of us were quite redlining. Can’t be going over 100 out here 🤷🏻‍♂️ So we were at least both short shifting equally. Our bikes don’t have quick shifters to go clutch less that’s why.

[@cjzx325]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Quick Shifters just cut the fuel or ignition timing so you don't have to let off the throttle while shifting. You can accomplish the same thing by backing off the throttle and simultaneously upshifting. No need for the clutch. The key is to take the load off the transmission while you are shifting. I still recommend using the clutch on downshifts. Safe Riding Bros!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@cjzx325 I know how it works! I’ve been on plenty of bikes that have them. These two bikes did not and we don’t feel comfortable doing that on a bike that doesn’t have that.

[@werehogrider53167]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed clutchless shifting, if done properly, is actually smoother and easier on the transmission than using the clutch. And you guys didn’t go down to Mexico to film this? I’m from Minnesota and Mexico is only a 10 minute drive away

[@gerardomtz92]

I’m torn between both 😭 New r6 face is better than the old R6 but the tail on the old r6 looks slick af! But the new r6 tail is also sick af. The deciding factor for me would be the cockpit view so the new R6 takes the W. If only the old r6 had a better cockpit view.

Both are great! If you’re budget allows the newer one, great! I’m happy with my 07 and most likely won’t upgrade for several more years. But it’s nice to ride.

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I bought my '09 R6 brand new When it came out and then had a crash before I even got to 5000 km on the bike. It needs about $2600-3500CAD To rebuild it fully (depending on whether or not I use OEM or after market parts). Cannot wait for that day to come as that bike was hardly broken in And all of those kilometers were short rides to and from work. not a fan of the New body style, the 2009 With that pointy almost hornet style look to it, sexy. That air intake between the headlights just looks vicious when you have a good custom paint job and after market Halo lights up front.. Of course I am slightly biased but It is without a doubt my favorite looking bike esthetically of all time. I can't think of any 600cc BMW, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and definitely not a Honda that looks better than it in my opinion. considering the 2008 and 2009 have the best power to weight ratio of any R6 made to date I'm Glad That's what I've got sitting in the garage waiting to be rebuilt.

[@kingretro9105]

Yea I converted my o 07 to a 18 front with the 07 tail

[@cdmc012599]

I've got a 06, 08 and a 17. I have always felt like my 06 was the fastest between them all. Hearing the HP numbers it makes things a lot clearer now. With that being said my 06 won't pull power wheelies out of corners like the 17 R6 does.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thats how mine is. I love the top end power!

[@cdmc012599]

I messed up this winter and forgot about putting water wetter in my 17 to take ot to the track. Here in Arkansas we hardly ever get Temps low enough to freeze anything in doors. But, the one time ai left the water wetter in cause we was so close to riding season. I cracked my block. So now looking into swapping motors from either my 06, 08 into my 17. Even though about using the block of one to build back the 17 motor. Can't be more then the cams. Really don't know what all internals are different to change the TQ curve and HP curve. Any thoughts?

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

More "Nanny" restrictions on the newer bikes. Go watch a tuner (like chris moore) work with one, he shows how even at WOT (wide open throttle) the bike limits it to 80-90ish% Despite the rider having the throttle completely pegged 100%. They can tune this nonsense out and With a air filter, exhaust and tune you can see as much as 40-50hp gains depending on the bike. The R1M he did recently went from 149 to 190hp.

I’m sorry but that’s NOT how you upshift. Not to mention both of you are gassing it while pulling in the clutch😬😫 most people just aren’t meant to have any type of manual. Only time you up shift with a clutch is in a car! Even then if you know a car you don’t even need to in a car as well but it’s advised. Also not too big of a deal on a bike but when downshifting try learning how to rev match. In a car either shift to neutral or you should definitely be rev-matching if your downshifting

2022 R6 am I missing something because the reason I bought the ZX6R was because the R6 is donezo if they are infact making a 22 R6 that's street legal I want to know more. Or this was just click bait? Well played

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I didn't know the 2022 R6 was a track only bike. I changed it to 2021 since thats the last road bike. Cool to see the R7 taking over!

[@tiktokvideojockey1776]

If u had the cash would u buy the new r6 over other 600cc

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I would stick with the R6 just because I grew up riding Yamaha bikes. Always wanted one! But I wouldn't say no to a Ducati sport bike!

[@tiktokvideojockey1776]

Try riding the suzuki gsxr600 Its pretty good

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

My friend has the gxsr750 and thats pretty fun! Very fast bike! If ever sell my bike tho, and R1 would be next

[@tiktokvideojockey1776]

Nice

[@tiktokvideojockey1776]

I'm planning on buying a 2008 r6 but I'm not really sure of their reliability

​@@BrosFOURRSpeedMay i ask you? In term of seat width of R6, old vs new which is wider? The narrower it seat the longer to reach (tip toe)

I bet! Definitely a great bike!

Seems fine. I don't mind my bikes either

Just depends on your budget and which bike you like better.

How many miles can you go after your fuel light turns on?

What’s your dream bike 🏍

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The R6 ;)

[@ayowser01]

I hope you've since learned how to clutchless upshift 🙂

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I can do that, but honestly prefer not to

[@iiraiyen]

Doesn’t the 2008 generation have more HP? So generally it’s better

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

More horsepower doesn’t equate to being better! There’s a lot more features that go into that!

[@iiraiyen]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed You’re not wrong. Of course things will improve in time, so logically, the newer generations can always one-up its older brother with further R&D. The older Gen with more HP, paired with its aftermarket support can compete against its younger counterparts and it’s why I like it better (mainly the looks.) But a 2021 R6 with GYTR specs, is pretty hard to beat 🤣🤣🤣 the R6 is just an all-around badass, every generation puts into perspective the versatility of the 600cc. Yamaha did things correctly.

[@aidan6557]

I'm sorry but I've watched a few of your videos now and your upshifts always hurt me on a deep level. You really gotta practice that sh!t man. Let off the throttle don't just leave it maxed if you're gonna ur not gonna quick shift

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It's not going to hurt the bike, but when I shift quick for videos, it always comes across like that, and not when I ride normally. Still on the stock clutch with 35k miles.

[@zcmdzpp127]

Would pick the old one over the new, plus the old one is raw without extra electronics..

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I agree. I can't see spending twice as much just to get a bit more power down low. Love my bike!

[@salty_superspreader3647]

07 over New. Could Have Had R7 New. But Went with 07 With 17000 miles.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I love my bike! Heres a video I did comparing it to the new R7. Not even a comparison honestly. R7 is a sporty MT07. Not a race bike anymore. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poOnZn6ejLqXn6c

My dream bike is r6 But its discontinued 🙄🙄🙄 saddddd

Yeah the R7 is taking it's place. But you can still buy a used one. I bought mine used and still love it so much!

Theres a shit ton of them used lmao u will keep finding these bikes even in 2050 😂

It’s the same frame, same motor Basically the same bike

No point in even putting a slip on exhaust if you don’t do full headers with a tune

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It sounds better at least. Nothing wrong with spending very little money and having your bike sound more desirable. My bike has a midpipe and slip on. I love how it sounds. Stock doesn't sound all too goo

no quick-shifting? 😤
