most of those people probably arent even aware anyone is around their vehicle. they drive with blinders on and eyes glued to their phone, radio, or vanity mirror. lol
I've had an R3 for a while and feel like I'm ready to move up to the R6. My only hesitation is the seating position. I commute half the time on the R3 and enjoy occasional long trips. Is the R6 comfortable?
@@vtecninja6363 I had the same thought process before I bought my r6 also. I don't retr regret it after I bought it and started riding lol. I did a 3 hour trip the other day and it did start to get uncomfortable around 2 hours in, just had to take a break and stretch out for a few minutes. Any supersport is gonna be uncomfortable for long rides usually
@@MiataPower96 Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting a 2019 Ninja 400 and ZX-6R. The ZX-6R is a beast. I took it on a long trip and had to take a few breaks but it was doable. When I want comfort I go back to the R3 and Ninja 400.
@@vtecninja6363 oh nice! I was looking for a 2018 zx6r before I bought my r6 instead. I do think the r6 is probably the most uncomfortable of them all lol
i would really appreciate it if you would have a camera mounted on the tank everytime you testdrive, so that whenever you go throught the bike's menu the viewer could see what buttons you press and how the changes are shown on the gauges.
i’m 5’5 1/2 and i sat on one and maaaaan i felt like i was on an old fashioned torture device that slowly spreads your legs out from your hips until they pop off
@@mr.trickschannel7396 6 1 is totally fine. I had a 2017 matte black R6 last summer, and I am 6 1. No problem at all to ride it but your balls would have a bit complain when you stand on flat foot. Do B mode for a while then get into standard or A if you never ride an R6 before, do not close the traction control dude, it saves your life!! Good luck out there!
Your subscriber number doesn't do justice to the quality videos you upload bro! Premium quality videos with ample info! R6 being my dream bike I loved this video a little extra!! Cheers mate!
When I went shopping for a supersport, I test rode all the major bikes. At 6'3", the 636 is the only one that fit in stock form. The R6 was awesome, but it feels absolutely miniscule next to the Kawasaki. I think with a change to the rearset it could be fixed.
Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of any of the previous R6's to look at. This bike though, it's beautiful. I also just want to say thanks, Chase. Thank you for always bringing great videos, not just the first rides, but all your other videos have great content! Keep doing what you do. You and Walterific are my favourites. ✌🏽
i need to go back and pick this bike up. im like 5’4 and when i first saw this bike i knew it would be too big and i sat on it and just felt scared but i feel soooo much more comfortable now
@@yazanarar sit on one and see how it feels. the seat is extremely wide and with a 29” inseam you would be very uncomfortable. i recommend a Suzuki GSXR 600 as the seating position and ergonomics are far more superior. you can find me riding one in my latest video on my channel. i’ve had it for over a year now and daily ride it
Yo Chase, @ 23:40 in this vid you were searching for an abs option on the cluster. That exciter rings on front and rear are not only used for abs, but also T/C(traction control). The computer uses those rings to gauge "comparable speed" between front and rear tires and can tell if one is slipping(i.e. rear going faster/slower than front, T/C kicks in to control that differential/"speed gap"). On some bikes you can adjust "abs control", but I think this R6 only has ABS always on.
I'm 6'1 and can confirm that it is not the bike for me, I can't imagine being any taller and riding this comfortably. I still own one because it's so much fun but that riding position blows for me. It was the perfect bike when I lived next to the mountains. Get off work and go straight to the canyons and like you said it's an amazing bike up there. Now I live 2 hours away from any fun roads and I'm thinking it's time for a more comfortable bike.
The powerband thing is easy to understand. The camshaft has two lobe profiles and at 8,000 the oil pressure is used to lock the high rpm cam lobes to the low rpm lobes and it pulls more air in, then the computer tells it to increase timing and push more fuel into the cylinder. Below 8k it basically only uses two valves per cylinder, then above that it switches to four. There are videos explaining VTEC/other variable valve timing systems and it's a lot like Honda's VTEC system.
Wanted to update my purchase of the 2017 R6. First off I totally enjoy this bike and the people that say it not a comfortable bike that is a half truth.
Thank you chase for providing this video! As somebody who is on a 500 right now and very undecided about the next bike to go for, this was a very nice in depth review of it. Thank you for helping me choose my next bike 🤙
I have A 2007 R6S 600 and to me it's absolutely an amazing bike all the way around.. And your 100% correct the r6's are all top end bikes really 8,000 -8,500 is where the power band kicks in
This video was one of the reasons I bought my Matte Black '17 R6 Chase. So thank you for that. Just wanted to loop back around and say this. I got it in June. This is my first ever Super Sport. I've been riding cruisers for the past 15 yrs. I bought the R6 because it looks like the R1 and the R1 would prolly kill me. LOL One day I'll get the R1 but I'm soooooo happy with the R6. She is just SOOOOO FCUKING SICK LOOKING. Pure sex, imo. Matte black is just killer. OMGOSH she is Fast. Now I have other bikes so I only have about 300 miles on my R6. I have not had her over 10k yet and I have not had her in A mode yet. Hell. I never put her in B mode for that matter. I commute to work and do Traffic light runs. Nothing to dangerous as I am TOTALLY happy with just doing the occasional burst and cruise the rest of the time. This bike is A PRESENCE more than a knee dragging instrument. I will NEVER track this bike. She scares the shit out of me whch makes me respect her. I've had her to about 110 and I am totally happy with the skill level that I ride her at. I'm 47 and I'm not trying to prove myself. I know I am badd ass. lololol. So I own the fact that my R6 will have a wasted life because its owner is, well??? A Poser. ahahaha. I OWN DAT SHIT & I don't give a FUCK. LOLOL I love this bike and she looks great in my collection. God Bless and RIDE SAFE Y'all.
Gave myself a Christmas present and bought a r6 with sj project. Man i have testdriven it for 5 minutes and immediately fell in love and bought it. Unfortunately my riding gear is black/yellow it doesnt match the racing blue of Yamaha... I wished this white/yellow color existed in Switzerland :( Now I'm here watching videos of R6's cause i have to wait until spring to drive it... :D
listening to you talk about the r6 makes me really appreciate mine. like I want to to in the garage and apologize for simply commuting as much as I do.
All the D-Modes do is change the responsivness curve of the ride by wire throttle. Same power, just "slower" reaction after rider's input. B - Slow reaction, super controllable and smooth STD - Somewhere in between A and B A - 1:1 responsivness, track mode (sort of)
'08+ have variable length intake runners that are shortened at 8K and secondary fuel injectors kick in. This is why you feel it so distinctly pickup power. Interestingly, since the newer bikes have such high-end, hackable ECUs, you can get a controller to change these values, which can be used to really smooth out the powerband by changing when these runners open and how the fuel is delivered.
@12:55 or so, he says "idk why this bike comes alive around 9k+ rpms." It's just like vtec technology. Programmed to climb faster above certain rpms. Great bike. I'm either getting this R6 for squiding or the FZ09 for hooligan shenanigans on the street.
That's amazing ! Love its powerful! And also its great turn!! Omg I just watched your review video on Yamaha R3 2016, I might change my love to this one!! 2017 Yamaha R6 !!!!!
I completely agree with the analog/digital gagues mix looking great. When i watch Do It With Dan's motovlogs and see his tach, it makes me never want to get that version zx10 lol. I'm sure the zx10 is a great bike but i could never do those gauges. Great review as always Chase!
When talking about the modes on the motorcycle how would compare the modes of a Suzuki GSX-R 600 versus the Yamaha R6 which one do you think is better? Great video! Keep the content coming!!
I really like the new look of the R6 but I do have to say that it would be better if they re-tuned the engine to have more mid to low range power for better street riding.
I am happy B mode is a lot different to A mode I am waiting for my 2020 R6 I am upgrading from the R3 a little nervous riding a 19.7AU bike where you are not used to the power il get used to the lowest mode and work my way up
I just pulled an all nighter and I'm watching this at 5am. wtf am I doing with my life Chase?
The right thing obviously!
I thought i was the only person stupid enough to do this, lol. Chase is the only RUclipsr worth it, in my opinion.
Logan James same

he looks like m13
Most of them probably never see him.

I just bought my first bike and it’s exactly that Yamaha R6 in that exact color package. All because of you and Motonosity. Thanks

Du bist auch überall ... :D
in my country you can get BMW S1000RR for that money :D

About to pick mine up this Friday! Super excited, even the same one in your vid.
Very good analogy with the house and renovation.
The color scheme on that R6 looks super dope and I'm so happy that Yamaha did the styling on the R6 the same as the R1 👍👍
I've had an R6 and an R1; I was flat footed on both. As well as the GSx-Rs, Triumphs and Ducatis.
I would really like to hear your opinion between the gsxr and the r6 am going to buy a bike and am confused between those 2
3 years later, i finally got me one of these. I am also 5-10 and cannot flat foot it. I think my suspension needs to be adjusted.
This is a motorcycle that severely needed an update, the new plastics are very attractive, and the electronics package is fantastic.
This is my dream bike. Matches perfectly with my r3
R6 my dream bike!
15:05 you just passed cycle cruza in his stealth van
He makes another video about the bug out van xD
chase aint ready for that sliiiiiide action
I find it funny that a lot of the things barring performance and fancy bits holds true about my little r125.
the engine sounds super smooth
That's amazing ! Love its powerful! And also its great turn!! Omg I just watched your review video on Yamaha R3 2016, I might change my love to this one!! 2017 Yamaha R6 !!!!!
Did it take a long time to cold start?
Great vids dude I had my 07 r6 looking into a 17 now . Great review dude keep it up .

its 2019 and my next bike will be a 2017 R6 in this color. the VOLT rims are so damn nice looking.
When Chase unlocked and lifted that passenger seat up, I was dying LMFAO
Kinda wish it had the same gauges as the R1
I'd like to say that I really like this channel.... Keep making the best videos 👍
First time RUclips notification was actually on time
So it was "A" mode that you put it in before getting on the fwy?
I'm in love with the R6 Wish i can afford it!
I love that bike the color is amazing
Freaking gorgeous bike!!!!! Just needed the R1 dash to be my top pick for 600's
Analog tacho any day....... The way it climbs up makes us giggle
In my opinion the color scheme on that bike is the best Yamaha came out with.
Love the different camera views very cool.
my dream 1st bike!
The color is fire
After you feel the bike on the freeway, you can literally hear how big your smile was bro lol 😂
loving the drone shots!
Omg that's the most beautiful bike I have ever seen and I been riding sport bike for 27 years shit aim going to the dealer this weekend nice

I can say many things about it but two words can fit all .... Awesome Review !!!!!!!!!!

The video is so much fun like earlier ones
I really like the new look of the R6 but I do have to say that it would be better if they re-tuned the engine to have more mid to low range power for better street riding.
"B is the slow mode we keep It in That" :(
