I just need a bike to go with it. ANd to find a cheap Xena disc alarm too.

you do know the odds you're up against, right?  In all honesty, to me, owning an R6 would be like jumping out the 10th floor window and hoping you'll miss.

And the odds of my house burning down goes to zero if I don't BUY a house.

The odds of me being in a car vs motorcycle accident goes to zero if I quit riding.



Why should I limit myself just because something MIGHT happen?

I'm not a fan of the R6...  The pics I posted are of the R6s.

If you insist on sipping of the Yamaha kool-aid then the red would be my color of choice

The only thing that I don't like about the R6S is that its suspention is what they 'downgraded'.  And it still has the 5 valve engine.

buzzzzzzz wrong guess again...the r6s never had the 5 valve engine
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelfeatures/500/1/features.aspx

The fuel injection is also a single stage set of injectors vs. duel injectors

The r6v is going away from the 5 valve motor they figured out that it was slowing the engine down and that the can decrease chamber size to generate more compression.

You also don't get the slipper clutch and fly by wire throttle controls or there state of the art ignition system
Title: Re: Which color bike should I get...
Post by: bluelespaul on June 19, 2007, 06:58:11 PM
just curious, how would a 5 valve engine work on a 4cyl engine? or do you mean 5 valves per cylinder?
Title: Re: Which color bike should I get...
Post by: spc on June 19, 2007, 07:07:22 PM
5 valves per cylinder :thumb:  what is it 2 intake 3 exhaust or the other way around???
Title: Re: Which color bike should I get...
Post by: scratch on June 19, 2007, 07:24:31 PM
3 intake, 2 exhaust.  45 degree forward tilt of the cylinder block to allow straight-down, downdraft carburetors; a straighter shot directly into the cylinder, is also a part of Yamaha's Genesis engine design.

Red is a dominant color; it is used to put off other riders; make them afraid, intimidated.

That be great if  annguyen wanted a bike with absolutely NO MIDRANGE.  I've ridden that bike quite a few times (my roommate owns an '06).  It's fast, but not very much fun... at all.  My .02
