@BrosFOURRSpeed2 жыл бұрын
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.
@cjzx3252 жыл бұрын
@@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 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.

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

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Bro we aren't talking about missing "a" shift. You do realize that the power is up top and you're shifting like 4k+ below the redline? Also, you are wayyy overdoing the throttle blip between shifts. Without even looking at revs, just listening to the shifts, it's hot garbage. I mean I appreciate the idea of the vid and the production quality, but what was supposed to be the climax of the video just fell flat with the mediocre runs.

Yeah technically there are. But when it comes to riding them. It's just not crazy different. I wouldnt spend another $5k to get the newer bike just to get some more low-end power and traction control. I feel like sport bikes can only get so good. And there wasn't much room for improvement in the last decade

@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah agree, the new one is crazy expensive where I live. You are better of just buying a used older model and upgrade it. I even saw a 2008 R6 for sale but with the 2019 fairings, still cheaper lol

For sure. I wish I had the 08 fairings since it was much sharper. But as a whole these are so good in the mountains and on track, there's no reason to spend the money on the latest one. Whenever I do sell mine, I'll buy an R1. But go for another used one for sure

@@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.
