Why dont you upgrade your Yamaha R6? - Dual vlog with YummiR6

[@bakerXderek]

I had these views about a liter bike until I actually bought one and been riding it daily now I cant go back. The torque, longer gearing, comfort, they just feel more planted to the ground and always have all the power you need to have fun BUT at the same time you can ride it just like a 600 and chill not having to shift over and over around town. All that matters is that you're happy with what you ride in the end though :)

[@chaseontwowheels]

+bakerXderek So what your tellin me is when I do finally get a 1000cc bike we need to do a dual vlog?

[@TheGeordieBiker]

+chaseontwowheels *in the voice of Jim Carrey* "Sooo you're telling me theres a chance" :D

[@bakerXderek]

***** We could have made a dual vlog even when you were on the scooters in San Francisco, we could have got free drinks at the gay bar then hold hands and skip down the street singing Justin Bieber songs.

[@chaseontwowheels]

[@YummiR6]

that Yummi dude is a child... lol was fun riding again buddy!

[@enesturtle8122]

+YummiR6 two strokes powerband is very unpredictable you're correct

[@SINIS0RSA]

+enes turtle It's not unpredictable at all... Just totally different to fourstrokes powerband.

[@SethKingFilms]

Yummi not going to lie while watching your videos the sound of your bike constantly with the same noise is annoying Xd

[@WickedMoto]

+YummiR6 time to buy yummi an R1 or HP4

[@chaseontwowheels]

Out of all these awesome bikes that I have access to I stick with the R6. Here's why!

[@Xliljtgreen24X]

I started on a R6 that I built in my garage with my father. I'm so thankful I did and if wasn't for you responding to my messages I may have never got to experience the R6. I honestly loved it so much and I'm glad I did. I now ride a 2008 R1 and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for you, thank you chase!

[@headaDT]

Nostalgia. I heart dual vlogs.

[@masonjeethan3401]

I’ve missed these videos…even the chasein3d couple vids, really shaped my childhood obsession for an R6

[@Tikerazer]

You should upgrade to an R125

[@killacash199]

Yums, your analogy about the two stroke is absolutely correct! Well, a 125cc and down two stroke...

[@XPsychowaffleX]

I grew up riding and racing 2 strokes. Id agree with you about the powerband, it is very strong and there's not a lot of gradual increases. Now, if you ever got the chance to ride say a KTM 250XC-W or 300XC-W, you actually have different power valves and power mapping. With those enduro specific bikes, you can tune that engine for low end power and smooth powerbands. Bikes have changed so much in the past decade, even in just 4 years. Bikes are so diverse and personalized these days there is a bike for literally EVERYONE these days. It's just a matter of choosing whatever you like :)

[@nickvernon3074]

I agree 100% with the two stroke comment. I have had a YZ125 and 250 and am used to that kick in the powerband. I am on a ninja 300 now while i learn the road and miss the two stroke powerband kick. I cant wait to get an r6 and get that aggressive rush of power back.

[@travistoussaint21]

I totally agree. I loved my 2012 r6 so much that instead of an r1 I bought a 17 r6. Could’ve got the r1 but I love the r6. I like it for its qualities and love it for its downfalls.

[@FlashwingMotoVlogger]

Great video! It's refreshing to see a 600 to liter bike conversation that doesn't involve hating on liter bikes. It is funny Yummi mentioned the 2007 GSX-R 600 as I purchased that recently as a track bike and I agree that it does feel like a large bike. In some respects, it works perfect for me coming from an R1 as I'm already used to that size.

[@smibru]

My first bike was an 2001 R6 and I think it is the perfect bike period. I was the perfect bike for me to start on because if it's step engine characteristic. After I out grew it' power I just started modifying it. At one point I can just throttle it up in first second and just about third gear. I could beat the wheels off a liter bike light to light and dispatch most people in the back roads of South Hampton Roads VA. Now I have my 2004 R1 and it was something else. Pure Power and speed! Love the bike especially showing what an Yamaha can do against other bikes in that time period. Since everybody loved the GSXR and the ZX10 in my area. Top speed is where this R1 reign supreme and it was as I dispatched them all with this bike even the might ZX14 was greeted to my exhaust pipes. But, the R6 is where you can have the most fun, especially in the curves. I think the R6 is king!

[@vstromrider302]

Excellent vlog guys. The dual vlog is a great format. I really enjoyed your back and forth, bouncing opinions and such off each other. Very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@alleyviper6407]

Awesome that you guys are riding together in a dual vlog. Love it

[@dubs08r6]

i love my r6 idk if ill get rid of it i just put out a motovlog about the mods im going to do on my r6 ecu flash intake aka air filter and fully exhaust and race plugs

[@timjacobsmedia]

If given the opportunity, I would absolutely take an R1. But it is tough to deny that the R6 is one of the best looking motorcycles ever made. I love mine and don't plan on selling it soon. Great video guys!

[@DeNaDios]

I think that it is also important to note that power modes were not really introduced into the liter bike class until around 2008-2009ish.

[@tokess9222]

i agree with the r6 being the best 600 ive owned cbr 600rr gsxr 600 and r6 is my favorite hands down

[@IconHoonigan]

I actually just had this moment of realization today. Been without my r6 for about a year now and while I am probably going to get another bike I honestly don't think I'll ever get rid of my r6. She's my baby and I may be the second owner but I just feel like a part of me will always be in that bike

[@coltbrandow4921]

im about two years away money wise from getting a bike and i always dreamed about getting a 1000 until i started watching you and yummi and after that i realized i dont need to have a overly powerful bike to have fun, and it saves a couple thousand too

[@ThunderDan]

Glad to see you together.

[@motofrost3774]

R6 is a great bike! Little too tall for me, I am considering getting either a CBR600rr/ZX6R/GSXR600 in about 2 years after I put enough mileage on my '15 ER6N. Suzuki releasing a new GSXR600 with the updated looks and instrument panel of the '17 GSXR1000 concept would be a quick buy for me. Absolutely love how comfy the GSXRs are compared to the competition.

[@whiskeysmuggler2505]

Couldn't agree more with the R6 argument.The R6 was my first bike as well. There is a learning curve to the throttle if you've never dealt with the turbo in a car at the minimum. With that said another bike would be more forgiving while learning to shift mid corner because of that so Sudden shift in power.

[@superdave6858]

I like the massive torque that my R1 has. The speed to me isn't a big deal. But the power delivery is insane. Great dual vlog 👍

[@ssnpower1]

I would love a wallpaper of this video thumbnail, yummi and chase motorcycles placed one behind the other. Looks cool.

[@bryssonal5027]

thank you yummi for making that comparison to R6 and a two-stroke. I ride ktm 250 350 and 450 all 2 stroke except the 450 and I am about to get my first bike and I love the 2 stroke type of riding and confirmed that I want to buy an R6

[@nevercrashed]

i feel mush more comfortble on the 1 litre the weight of it means it doesnt get blown around as much in cross winds that was my main reason for upgrading i miss the fun of throwing around the small bike though

[@supreethms]

I have an R15 (a 150CC engine) and i am so happy with it. Like, seriously.. The traffic i move in hardly lets me go over 3rd gear. It is only a few times in a day i reach the sixth gear. Well, on highways, i can do 135kmph easily. And i think that's a lot for the roads we have in our country. :P

[@Drumnbasstrd]

Commuting? Freeway and street, FZ-09. Power, torque, seating position, and MPG for a sportbike. If you want the super sport ergonomics then go with the R6/R1 or any other similar bike. Haven't been on one, but the CBR 600/1000rr is from what I've heard is a little more super sport street rider friendly. What are your thoughts of the FZ-09 and all the items you cover in the video?

[@angelov1080]

Chase the pics i've seen on your site are absoluteley amazing keep up the great work

[@Bro-ih5cy]

Loved the vlog the smile stayed on face untill the video ends

[@thebennyyamir6849]

I commute about 30 minutes to work on my R6. All highway but I'll never switch from Yamaha. My R6 is wayyy more fun than my 900rr! Great video guys

[@kryten]

I've had my GSXR-600 for almost 7 years and I don't really feel the need to move up to a liter bike. If I got a new sportbike now I might go for a GSX S750 or maybe a Yamaha FZ-09. I'm actually thinking of keeping the GSXR for fun weekend riding and getting something like a Versys or Vstrom for trips and commuting. I don't get the people that think the goal of riding is to work your way up to a liter bike.

[@Ash-og2jb]

R6 is designed to be raced, gear ratio and the engine suppose to give you most of the power on higher RPM in each gear to have maximum acceleration in each gear with minimum waste of engine capacity and give you efficient engine braking as well. It is such a great machine anybody can get if you are a rider you have to own one

[@curtisshondel3125]

I mig hit start out on a 1000. I do have a bunch of experience on bikes, but not a Supersport. I like the idea of being able to turn it down when I don't want the power

[@SuperVistaprint]

speed triple all the way, so much fun down low. and that sweet sweet torgue punch + amazing handling at high and slow speeds

[@turdbucket5424]

The low end torque on some 1000cc bikes can be a handful in the city. Every acceleration the bike wants to rip away from the palms of your hands....but every bike has its pros and cons.

[@RollinDolan7]

I started on a R6 and just kept it below 6k RPM for the first couple months. Then gradually started shifting later and later until I was comfortable with the power. It's all about being smart.

[@braydenrenner3479]

the 2 stroke analogy from +YummiR6 is perfect

[@twisted_void]

I like the point about riding liter on a motorway. My commute is around 40 minutes with about 90% of it happening on the motorway. Will consider upgrading once I am tired of my 600.

[@tippints576]

No I can completely relate. I had a 07 R1 and my '12 Ducati and my 08 R6, and you can definitely daily the R6, it is definitely doable. I honestly rather dailying the R6 than the others.

[@zachschwartz8780]

I agree with Yummi's feelings with having an R6. I have and R6 myself. Great great bike.

[@videowithdamir]

r6 is my first bike and I LOVE IT! very happy I got it! love how it accelerate after 11k )))

[@ahmedmukhtar8888]

at 3:28 you guys are sharing lanes right behind the cop 😂😂

[@Thedeadedhorizontey]

I ride cruisers and 2-stroke dirtbikes, i agree with your comparison of the R6 to a 2-stroke because they are unpredictable and you need to learn the motor, as yu do a R6

[@bigbackherndon3340]

I almost bought a R6, but Everyone I talked to said I would get bored. I didn't want a 1000 as my first bike either. So I bought my GSXR750 & it fit me good. I sat on every bike from Honda to Yamaha & the gsxr just felt comfortable to me. Each bike is made for different people. Ride safe

[@karguy4life]

i started on a 2002 GSXR-1000 and rode it for for 2 years... that bike was made before there were "modes" .. and now i have a 2012 hayabusa, my friend has a GSXR 750, the 600 and 750 use the same frame. they are skinnier, they are tighter... im a big guy, the 600/750 seems like my knees are touching... if your comfortable on the 600 than stay on the 600 , they are easier to throw around corners.

[@orrinwheeler8917]

I've really missed these Yummi R6/C2W dual vlogs.

[@xSubbbZER0x]

I started on an R6 and I love it.

[@HeroRR]

Poor chase, the amount of people asking you to buy a liter bike is insane lol. I get maybe .1% of the amount of traffic you get and I've had maybe 10 people ask me within 2 months when I was upgrading to a CBR1000rr. I was like, "what... I just bought the CBR600!!" lol

[@jitterball]

4:50 R6 doesn't need to be in 6th gear for highway speeds, what are you guys saying?!

[@Znybar]

In fairness I expect all the new tech to trickle down to the 600s in the next few years, right now it's very new for all manufacturers, and that's why it's in the superbike class. I can't wait for 600s with the 6-degree gyros and traction control, those will be a blast.

[@ValdiviaCesarBro]

I started on a 2007 R6 , and I’m only 5’5 about 150-160 pounds . If you are thinking about getting a 600 period you should expect some power behind it . To say it’s not good to start on a R6 or say it’s a bad idea is ridiculous keep in mind I’ve never ridden any other bike other then a 150 for about 4 minutes . The R6 is a great starter bike one because of the low revs low speed thing and two because of the high revs fast speed power band . If you want a 600 you obviously wanna have some fun going fast from time to time . If you are “scared” of speed wtf are u doing looking for a motorcycle in the first place . Buy a grom which is basically a slow scooter . But yeah if anyone wants to start riding a R6 will do you just fine . Just remember to start slow and gradually get to where you wanna be with the damn thing .

[@DashingBrunnetteVlogs]

interesting perspective. i suppose you have most fun in the end on the bike you know best and most comfortable with. Personally I've ridden the litre bike and impressed how smooth it is, more than i expected.

[@d2r693]

👍🏻👍🏻 the R6 bikes are awesome!!! Love it when it hits 8k rpm

[@DiazBrosTV]

I agree with this video, I started off on a ninja 300, outgrew it and almost bought a 1000 but I bought an r6 and I know for a fact I don't need anything bigger.

[@VTEEEEEEK]

I agree, I have owned both the R1 and the FZ1 and have kept the 600 through both of them. Yeah, the power is orgasmic but it's not absolutely necessary and a 600 gets down just fine. And it is 3 motors in 1. And that's not just from a squid, I put 10,000 miles on the R1, 5,000 on the FZ1 and just over 52,000! On my 600. No typo there. 50k it is obscenely practical for commuting and daily riding. Why else would I choose it over a R1?

[@tf2965]

i kinda get the 2 stroke idea, super snappy powerbands, a lot of them have low and mid range with a top end that drops off.

[@TZMoto]

i agree x10 about the power delivery around 8k-10k ...I rode a Gsxr-600 a year older than my bike and felt the same way as yummi did. Don't forget its the best looking bike besides the R1 X'D

[@dillanmckitrick]

I want to get an r6 as my first. I drive a supped up crx more oriented towards track use. Also would think it would take me minimum of a month of riding to be comfortable with my machine to do anything like I do I'm my cars though. But still the r6 will still have a slower top speed but I'm not all about the straight like garbage. As for racing as a track bike I feel like it would take me years for my skills to surpass the r6 capabilities and that's why I want one. cause like you said you can drive it like a 300 at first.

[@alloutanthony1492]

i started on a r6 and i completely agree with you lol worst bike to start off on, im fine but the first day of riding i couldnt keep thatfront wheel down in first if i tried but you learn the bike and there is something about it i love and yummi i agree with the 2 stroke feel, great video

[@munkiebunz6231]

Fully agree with your viewpoint. Upgrade for commute comfort but not speed/power. I started with a shadow 750 then a gsxr 600. Might consider bigger for highway comfort but I like and appreciate the light weight and agility of lighter bikes. It's a sales push for the liter bikes. Can you do a review of a moto guzzi v7 ii?

[@sharpy3453]

i dont blame you guys for not upgrading. i have a fz6r and i probably wont upgrade for a long time. and if i do ill probably keep the fz6r for commuting to work or w.e... either that or ill get a sv650 or something along that line.

[@jsr1363]

I agree with the gsxr 600 feeling bigger"beefy" than the r6...I ride 09 gsxr 600, swap with a friends 09 r6...holy crap! the difference are night and day to me, the r6 felt so light and weird lol, definitely more like a track bike and mine more for cruising around.

[@connorburns9688]

I missed these old motovlog videos

[@sa1isburystake98]

In my experience with my ninja 250, I feel the same way with my 250 that yall do about the 600. Just so long as I'm in the mountains... lol My bike is whining like a mofo on the highway but man she is amazing in those twisties. Im actually about to upgrade to an r6 so I'll most likely be like yall and stick with that bike for a good 5 years at the least.

[@BurnedAwake]

Power band is the word your looking for. First bike I ever rode was an R6, it made me a yamaha fan.

[@Ro6entX]

I've had my R6 for about a year and loving it more than my old CBR. Yeah, it was easier on the back/shoulders riding through town than my R6 but overall, sticking with my R6 fir long time. R1 maybe later on as a track bike though. RS Chase and Yummi

[@ericdelacruz3746]

The R6 has that huge "boost" at high rpms, which isn't a bad thing. In fact i would argue that the feeling you have when you get surprised by the acceleration its the best feeling in the world. Which is why i find the cbr600rr kinda boring to ride, i know its faster but that R6 boost makes you feel like you're going faster.

[@kennyvlogz2888]

Chase bro I love Your Videos Every one you upload I'm liking.

[@jackazz691]

[@6speedtim177]

These are the videos I miss

[@chadrox999]

I started on an r6, lots of fun but I was responsible enough to not get myself into trouble, ive gone stupid fast and can confirm that around 11k rpm it pulls hard

[@wrkings]

great vlog guys loved it, great insight and opinions into da world of da r6, thx

[@offroadfreak8582]

Chase. Get the s1000rr. I watch all your videos. I think it would really suit you well in red. All the tech int it. The feel it has. It behaves like the ultimate japanese bike and is really comfortable. Would love to see you ride one and give your opinion. Greetings from the netherlands.

[@Youggen]

I got my license last year. Practice rode alot with private instructor on my own bike, a Kawasaki Z750 ABS -09. I think i practice rode for about 2500km and then took the test and passed. I rode about 3500km with license. That´s a total 6000km (3728 miles). I rode the bike for like two and a half months and then sold it so i rode alot under a short period of time. I just bought a Yamaha R6 2003 and have tested it two times. Its still winter in Sweden today it was warm (44 F) but its ride able with good clothing. The first impressions of the R6 is its a way better bike considering safety and weight distribution. The Kawi was way to heavy, front heavy machince with lousy brakes. The R6 is a balanced samurai sword with fantastic brakes. I am absolutely sure of that the R6 is a safer bike for me to ride than the Z750 =) Im new with road bikes but have ridden some seasons of motocross and most important, possesing a natural feeling for riding machines, machines with power. I loove my yammi =)

[@cbello1140]

I missed the C2W/YR6 vlogs!

[@upsidedownbikelife]

I'm at my 6th bike now. My first one was an r6 and my last one I bought is an r6 ;) so that should tell you enough lol. Ever since I sold my first r6 I felt so mutch regret and missed it so badly. So I just had to get me another one! I've had a gsr 750, r1, mt-07, aprilia 750 but none came close honestly..

[@motomax13]

good video, i love the way an r6 sounds when you hit that power band, to be honest it has such a bad ass motor sound with a stock exhaust, maybe its the intake or something, but those things are bad ass. all the 600cc's i've ridden in my lifetime, the yamaha had the feeling that it had the most power, and i think it was because of the powerband. i love the way they look too, lol, looks like a cat about to attack somthing. and considering a liter bike would be a possibility but remember, these things weigh more. stronger frame, bigger motor, basically bigger stronger HEAVIER parts to contain the power of a 1000cc motorcycle. i ride a damn 200cc and i have a hell of a time on it.. shit people ride groms haha, i guess you have fun on 2, preferably one no matter what you are on.

[@ndperson1]

I guess I like all bikes, I just have a little r3 now, have had a cbr600, ninja 500, several cruisers, and lots of dirt bikes. I have liked them all. I always wanted a gsxr 750, but lately really have been liking the r6, but have had some bad luck on my used bikes. I live in ND, and it seems all the used sport bikes where I live cost bout the same as new or are just beat to hell, hence I just broke down and bought an r3 so I could have a reliable thing for once and travel long distance. I been having a blast though, and am surprised by how much I like a little sport bikes as I mostly just rode bigger ones before. I can't believe how comfy my bike is, I go on four hour rides alot already, and a little sport bike is hilariously fun in the twisties (it suprized me, I didn't expect to like the little bike so much). But anyway, if I could have any bike after riding the little bikes and other bikes, it would probably be a a 400 4 cylinder Supersport (too bad they dont make them anymore)

[@ndperson1]

I guess I just love riding a bike that fits me better right now (I am 5'6 and have just been very uncomfortable on lots for bikes so the small bikes just feel so comfy).

[@Scoupe400]

Started 125, then 400 then R6. Love the R6 for the last ten years. Question. You remap your bikes when you put those after market exhaust cans on? They'd be lumpy slow at lower revs without?!

[@electric_boogaloo496]

I don't understand the fixation with low end torque on a 600. The engine can rev upto 16k, just shift a little later. That way, I get to do rev-matching down shifts every time I stop/slow down, and feel like a boss doing so.

[@gregsheffey5191]

I like my xrs 900,because it has low end torque from idle all the way to redline.I might have to put a small wind screen to make the air stop hitting me in the chest at higher speeds on the interstate.my old yamaha 650 maxim has very low power until it reaches 6000 rpm's then it pulls like a freight train,I still love to ride it even with the new bike,but I love the torque from idle on.I wish the brakes on the 650 maxim were better.

[@eemoto2606]

I love my 07 R6, Great vlog guys!

[@MotoM1234]

Love my r6 on the track but not enough torque on the street. Tuono is the best street bike IMO. That’s why you always need multiple bikes!

[@doublex632]

Hey, I test rode an 2015 R6, and when we left the parking lot for the ride, I was like the bike was making awesome sounds, but i wasn't going anywhere LOL!!( i ride a ZX14), no torque!! But at the end of the ride I was thinking of buying one.

[@kurayami893]

i have no problem with the sound on a 600 in the highway. i enjoy that loud noise

[@NJtriple7]

I did't really like my 2014 R6. It was a great bike, but definitely not for me. It was too uncomfortable and I wasn't a fan of the power distribution. I felt like I had to rev higher to prevent the bike from stalling. Then there was the heat ventilation... my god, I have no idea what they were thinking when they came up with the idea to vent the heat INTO YOUR LEGS! Perfect for Fall not for Summer. And finally the tachometer... the tach, in my opinion, was too bare bone compared to other bikes in ti's class in 2014. My 2011 GSX-R 600 had more features than my R6, but I believe that the R6 was meant more for track use than commuting which is why the tach never bothered me much. It would've been nice to at least have a gear indicator, but nope. ALSO, no hazard lights. My gixxer had hazard lights. I can't tell you how many times I pulled over on my R6 to help someone out and couldn't put my hazard lights on like I would with my gixxer. This is just my opinion. I feel like for my height and weight, the 2011 GSXR 600 was PERFECT! The seat cushion, seat height, and riding position were comfortable, the power distribution was very forgiving, and the tachometer was well thought out. It just sucks that GSXR's are renowned for SQUID's... which is actually one of the reasons why I bought an R6 (besides the fact that it was one of my dream bikes).

[@StealthyAban]

+Brian Yong "My gixxer had hazard lights" GSXRs all come with hazard lights because they are so used to being broken down on the side of the road, sorry I had to :3 P.S. I like how GSXRs look and would have totally bought one if I didn't think the R-Sex looked better :)

[@NJtriple7]

+Stealthy Aban LMAO. I completely agree! I was really considering getting another GSXR 600 after my accident, but the 2006+ R6 is easily one of the best looking bikes. And because it was one of my dream bikes I chose to get the 2014 YZF-R6 instead of another GSXR. Do I have any regrets that I chose that over a GSXR 600? Hell no. It was a beast of a bike, but just too uncomfortable for me.

[@matt46vale]

+Brian Yong My 2008 R6 has hazards.

[@StealthyAban]

matt46vale You must live in Europe then as only the European model R6s have a hazard switch.

[@Colorad0317]

no hate, just wondering- if you say you can use an R6 like a 300 if you keep the rpm low, why do you also say it's the worst bike to start on? It seems like this characteristic would make for an amazing first bike (learn in low rpm, low power, but when you get good enough you aren't bored with the power in higher rpm). Am I missing something? Good video anyways always appreciate it even though this was published a long time ago :P

[@Doogleraia]

It's so disappointing that most people seem to think it's only either a 600 or 1000.. like, there's a ton of bikes on both sides of the spectrum of both of those. For instance, with the R6, a lot of people will gravitate towards it, and then go straight to something like the R1 once they feel it's "lacking".. meanwhile you got a ton of insane bikes like the Daytona 675, GSX-R750, Nuda 900R, etc, in between those. (Hell, the Daytona 675(r) would probably outrun both the R6 and R1, "but it's not a liter bike *mimimi*" is what gets "preached"). More people need to open up their minds to other bikes!

[@TheGeordieBiker]

+Mainfold why go up when you can go down these days bikes such as the KTM 390 will easily out handle many litre bikes. its just all about speed speed speed these days but theres not better feeling than seeing the confused look of someone on a litre bike being overtaken on a corner by a 300 :P

[@Doogleraia]

+TheGeordieBiker Yeah exactly! Like, the R3 is a freaking excellent bike, or the 390 RC or Duke, Ninja 300, or some of my personal all-time favorites; the older CBR250RR MC22 and the Ninja ZX-2R. There's so much awesome that's NOT 600 or 1000

[@TheGeordieBiker]

the 250RR is one hell of an epic bike! theres so much choice if people could get out the 1000cc mindset!

+TheGeordieBiker indeed

[@Davidoo11]

+TheGeordieBiker definitely agree, loved my ninja 250 in the city just because of how easy it is and if I didn't have to ride a couple 100kms to get to roads that aren't just straight I'd almost be tempted to go back to something smaller for a season.

My choice was an r6 or CBR 600 and chose the CBR for having more power down low both are great tho

[@rtoebak76]

Avice is the best thing people can give you. That the power kicks in at 8000rpm is important.

[@RandalLovelace]

Funny how people think that you must 'upgrade to a higher cc motorcycle'... But, for regular daily riding an upgrade may just be a newer bike of the same size.

[@jonyface7723]

isnt that for like every other thing you buy? The latest smartphone has more power, but u still do the same things with it.

[@williamdeimos2354]

+Jonyface lol great way of putting it

[@africanhistory]

+Randal Lovelace I am thinking about upgrading to a newer R6, I just do not need an R1 right now, esp I do not want the weight.

[@RandalLovelace]

AHS Society cool - I know that the Ninja 300 ABS I want will last me a while since my commute is literally on 2.2 miles each way... I'd think in a few years I'll want a new bike - but probably just the latest model of the 300.

[@650hpreventon]

+Randal Lovelace good choice. save your 300 so you can mater the knees dragging on it than move on to 600 and do the same thing you will appreciate it.

I'm starting on the venom x22 gt thanks to chase

[@bra1217]

I had to sell my R6 and I cannot wait to get another one. but to me that will always be my baby. be safe to you all riders out there.

[@RaynosFAA777]

I ride my cbr250rr on the freeway in 6th and it's so loud. But it handles pretty well over long distances.
