"Flush mounts, you can still see them during the day," dude, no car can EVER see those things… Just saying.
Whats up Lostboheme,Not my account so dont pay attention to the picture on the right,lol,but anyway just bought the 2012 YZF R6 Pearl white with skull graphic package wow sick bike love it.Liked your video looking for some good ideas.Im in Indiana just went to motor GP this last weak end got kickass response on the bike.I made a good choice.
Been riding since 16 yrs old. In 1988 . All weather rider. Last bike was 12 years ago. Cbr 1000. Finally some old friends and a few relative's decided we would all get bikes and ride. I got a clean 2012 r6. At almost 50. Its a bit uncomfortable to ride. But the thrill and love for sportbikes still flows through my veins. And on Sundays. I get to feel a bit like i did at 21 years old in the Military in North Carolina. When i bought my 1st sportbike. A 1993 FZR 600. Great rides on the East coast. Great ride this Sunday. Heres to you !!!!
Nice review, would you recommend this bike for a beginner rider, or would it be too much?
Black...
hahaha "black"
Im getting a bike soon and i can't decide between a 2012 Yamaha R6 or a Kawasaki Ninja Zx-6R 636.
Between speed, handling, appearance, and gas mileage, which is better?
nice bike i know you like her ;)
Beautiful bike!
Awesome Bike, nice mods, I just got my R6 a couple of moths ago and even thought I haven't really been riding it, I love it. I also plan to do the fender eliminator and the front signals. Keep it up
Sick bike bro!! Love your R6! Looks awesome
Is there a fender eliminator on your bike?
Yes
very nice mods. normally black bikes all look the same but you did a good job on this one. very unique look
Would this be a good beginning bike
Depends on who you are...
Woow R6 has always been my dream bike...I love the simple mods you got on this,So impressive and uniquely aggresive bruh.Take care of it alot
The R6 is a bit higher than other supersports. I'm mostly torso, so I can't flatfoot it. But I rest easy on the balls of my feet. So not quite tiptoes.
Your bike sounds awesome man!!! This is my dream bike :D Close to getting my motorcycle license so I'm a beginner. Gonna start off with the ninja 300 so I can work on my skills. Hopefully one day I will have me one of these works of art :)
I'm roughly 5'8", nearly 5'9".
Thanks! I'm loving it. Got a few more mods coming soon, and I picked up a camera so I can do 'real' videos now!
Got My new Yamaha R6
just 3 months ago, only 3 days left to ride this year
winter is coming.
most fun bike IMO
im 20 years old im and i saved up for an r6/cbr600rr i still between what bike to get but i really love the r6 but the stearing stabbilizer worry me like when ur flying down the highway can u really notice that theres not one on the r6? and i herd the cbr600r is more userfriendly this would be my first street bike but i am very good on 2 wheel. i race dirtbikes and such so im kinda stuck on what to get any opinions????
hey man, if u live in canada, i have a few question. How tall do you have to be? how much do you pay for ur insurance? insurance of car vs insurance of bike which one is more expensice? if you get ur m2 can you buy bikes like these and drive them?
replying will help me out a lot. thanks
Hey! was wondering how you did with your wrists on the road? I had a cbr 600 rr my former dream bike wich was stolen. And I thinking about saving up for an r6 but the thing that is holding me back is that 80% of the riders complain about their wrists after 20minutes.... let me know? Andrew
The passenger thinks you should consider fixing the slipperiness of the passenger seat so the passenger's wrists aren't as sore after riding around for a few hours. And so you don't complain about me bumping into you all the time :)
Yahama 😂
I was looking into purchasing one the other day, but the issue is I cant reach the ground very well, on my toes. I'm 5'9' Ive always have stayed with 500's...idk lol an R6 has always been on my mind
Great looking bike. Wish I had an R6.
How do the foot pegs feel, I heard that they were a bit higher than the regular bikes. Is it uncomfortable? The foot pegs I mean.
this guy lost me from the biggening when he called "yahama" lol
Hhahaha
Do you still have this bike bro? Would love to own one for my self. And rebid what's necessary. As you said. Ain't got the coin for a new one.
man the stock tires are really bad, swap em out for some michelin pilot power 3's asap, trust me brethren.
hey man, does the "dash" show how much gas you have left, time, gear your in, all at the same time?
Its 2021 and i still don’t have one :’)
does anyone know if i can change the front part of my 2006 r6 for a 2008 front part? thank's
Ive heard that quite a few times. That suzuki gsxr's are suited for taller guys
I would move that license plate back where it was. Mine sat like that and the next thing I knew my tail light cracked because the tire shot a rock right up to it. And it stinks because my r6 is a 2012 and it has an aftermarket brake light with a crack.
What's your height? Does it feel comfortable with your height and position?
No gas gauge or gear indicator on a stock r6. But you do have a clock!
those old ones are better than the new ones not gonna lie
I am 5' 9&1/2 '' . 165 pounds. Is this bike the right size for me?
how much miles does it have? and whats the highets speed it can go?
beautiful sexy bike,,love it,,
how did you get it all black?
What kind of turn signals are those (front & rear)? Do they blink fast or did you use a relay to slow the blink rate down to normal? You should make a video of the rear signals. There are so many out there, I don't want to make the mistake of getting a pair that looks cheap or trashy.
Not at all! My buddy who is 6' even rode it just fine. He said his legs felt a little too high up but you can adjust foot height if you really want to with some aftermarket pegs.
Very nice, can't go wrong with black!
what is the peg on the side called? for incase u drop it
Nice bike I want a black r6 too I just love it in black
I'm about 5'8". I'm a bit shorter on Yamaha than other bikes. I'm not completely flat foot but I'm not tip toes either. I got used to it and it feels fine. I ride pretty close to the tank so I can get as much grip with my knees as possible for those quick launches.
I'm pretty sure you'd be just fine. The cornering isn't as tight, the throttle is a bit touchy and the suspension is a lot stiffer, but you'll feel it all out on your first ride. Check my other vid out for the nuances I can't detail here!

I don't remember the brand name I got, but they're a simple set of smoked lense flush mount turn signals in the front and integrated turn signals in the back. I had the option to use a relay to slow the blink but I prefer not to, just because I think the faster strobe catches attention easier. Safer that way, in my opinion. Kind of a "LOOK HERE I AM I'M TURNING!"
@Zlurz I've got a couple in the works, no worries! I picked up a GoPro to do some on the road videos and I've been waiting for the mic adapter to come in. I did a couple test videos and all you can hear is wind. But I do have a light install video that should be posted as soon as I'm back from the holidays this weekend!
They are higher but it's not uncomfortable. But if you're like me, you've got little legs and more torso.
I have the exact same bike as you, sup brethren.
I did get some seat covers, but I haven't put them on because they staple over the stock vinyl. I'm still looking for some that just wrap around.
Does the r6 heats up alot??? like.... will i get that hot feeling on my legs if im riding the bike??? know what i mean?
With my old R6 I had some wrist issues after a couple of hours, but that all goes away the more you ride. I replaced the grips to some gel grips and it removed the problem right away. On the 2012 I haven't needed to replace the stock grips, they're actually very comfortable.
i love your bike man.. and you sound like a nice guy.. salam kenal dari indonesia.. :)
@sovietbeatle8 I actually have a video coming about that soon. My mic should be arriving in a day or two so you'll see something within a week about this topic! keep an eye out :D
how is it compared to the 2009 in acceleration. I heard the R6 low end isn't too great..
Pretty much everything. I'm being lazy and letting the shop put the gpr on my bike next week but other than that I do everything I can. It wasn't too hard to learn, just have to look up how-to videos. Which is why I started making some!
Best thing you could do is sit on every make and model in the shop, and ask about adjustable pegs. I think GSXRs are pretty good for people.
Damnnn♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯
Nothing like Yamaha 🤤🖤
Yahama!
Yeah. Too bad.
Thanks! I'm thinking I'm probably going to get a GPR V4. It's a little more in my price range and if I have to choose a top mounted damper, I like the look of the GPR more.
I believe it. I'm workin on it just been doing some research on what would be best. You say the pp3s? I'll check em out, thanks!
You’re wobbling because your tires are either uneven or the balance is off. Ive has 3 of there 08, 08, 12 currently and you’re better off spending your money on learning how to adjust the suspension. These bikes have the best geometry once you learn how. Gpr would stiffen it up. It will slow you down in corners.
damn man i wish some one wold treat me as well as you treat your bike, you bike is awesome
Go to a gay bar then be treated NICELY
I love this bike! Look at that matte gross sh*t!!
I own a 2012 R6 as well and I noticed the seats are really slippery. My girlfriend rides with me a lot and she complains that the seat is way too slick. Did you ever get any seat covers yet or found a way to make the seat not as slippery?
COOL BAIK👍👍👍
is R6 suitable for beginner?..
No is not start with a scooter or 300
ok..thnks bro
no its ok to start r6 because you can just stay under 10k rpm
Yes, it is ok to have this bike as a beginner bike. Just keep the RPM's under 8k, which is the same as a 300
Beautyful bro 🥰😍
sounds cool man.. already subbed :P
you able to flat foot it or are you on your toes?.. sorry for all the questions lol
getting a 2010 model but never sat on one :/
This is a great video. I just cashed my 899. (Not my fault) Anyway I love the R6 and I appreciate your input and feedback on the bike. I'm hoping next week we see the 2017 and what it will look like. Drive safe.
Is the bike gloss black
I'm definitely selling my 07 Si and getting this bike. Fucking sexy as hell. Good job on the vid and recommendations
What did you say about the clutch? You mentioned something along the lines of removing the jerkiness from shift 1st to 2nd...
do you use this as a every day ride if so how is it because i read a lot of reviews that say its really weak below
i love your bike bro💕❤
Hey man how tall are you? Cuz im only 5'5 am i gonna be able to reach the ground while im on the bike?
while i agree that you can see tht plate just fine, damn near every cop will disagre, it has to within 20 degrees of verticle ive been told by many cops. also has to be horizontal apparently even though its just as easy for them and their cameras to read
How much was thisbone
I like black bro
thanks for sharing your cool bike sir, may i ask u some questions? how is the vibration of the bike in high rpm? and is it comfy enough for short to medium range ride? and what is your opinion on zx6r 636 compared to the r6
thats a nice bike man. yea get yourself an ohlins steering damper. its a life saver!!!
hey man how r u liking the bike still? I am deciding between a r6 and zx6r currently.
good for tall people*
Whoops typos.
Thats one thing I found sitting on a sports bike at a show, my legs felt really hunched up
How much does the bike take to fuel because I've heard you have leave it a gallon short just to let the fuel expand
Hey where did you get the flush mount turn signals? I'm looking to get some for my cbr
How much R6???
Nice vid....
frame sliders
Sweet bike! Is ur bike lowered?
Clean bike
What kind of work do you do on the bike yourself? Was it easy to learn?
R6
One
any particular place you would suggest a steering stabilizer from?
$120 for two. But they're adjustable, bend back and virtually unbreakable. Love the shorties.
