the r6 is fucking beautiful man
bikes are getting uglier every year like zx6r 2006 was the best, R1s till 2009 was better and gsxrs......
Guys..the s1000rr is the best
Thanks a lot dude!
Motonosity hey man I was wondering if you have road the r1 back to back to the r6, and if so what are your thoughts on it?
UnsungThermidor Agreed! I hated the r1 until this new model came out & the sexiest bikes back in the day were, Gsxr = not busa, Ducati's.
"Because I like it"
15 minute video done in one sentence.
Izo Azlion thanks dude
Can it run Crysis?
Where did you come from :D
@Maxi Maier im fuckin dead right now lmfao best comment ever
Maxi Maier linustechtips
Yes, but be careful it can't run minesweeper at more then 6fps
It has a GTX480 so should be good
I want so bad to give you a hard time for forgetting to put the images in with the sound effects, but I been there too many times to do it. lol Carry on with that sexy bike sir.
+chaseontwowheels dude I know. I've been away from home since the video published and haven't had a chance to add them 😭
"Why would you buy an R6"
-People who have not owned an R6
I dunno, I had an 03 R6 as a first bike, moved on to a 08 CBR 1000, to a BMW R9T and 13 Panigale 1199... and I'd never go back to any 600, or an R6.
Yeah, because you've never been to the track. If you do go, you'd have 250s and 300s passing you. Then you'd realize why 600s are popular.
Your opinion only shows how little you know, so consider that before posting, Geovani.
rustler08 You're assuming I don't track the 1199 or that I don't have involvement in the motorcycle (daily or track) industry. Further more, this R6 isn't being ridden on the track, nor does it sound the owner has that intent for it, nor is this RUclipsr a track guy. So, although I appreciate your comment, it doesn't change my opinion. Same old engine with a face lift and that is neither opinion, or disputable.
rustler08 What? How do you know he's not a competent track rider? This guy is a street rider anyway, 600's suck on the street thanks to them having no bottom end. What's the point of riding a bike on public roads that needs to be wrung out to high hell to do anything? Go ride a KTM 1290 and you'll never want to ride another super sport on the road again, torque is fun on the road, not a high strung race bike.
Luke Butler #Facts
Dont let off the throttle when shifting with the quickshifter. Thats just clutchless upshifting, using energy and inertia from the gearbox. Thats not activating the quickshifter. Keep the throttle open
pretty sure he said the quick shifter isn't installed yet
It is not installed yet. He has it but wanted to see if it works with the GP shift before installing it, so right now the bike has normal shifting with no quickshifter. He just upshifted clutchlessly
Above comments are correct. Not installed yet :)
I wish a motorcycle company would make a 20k revving bike again. I miss those
Yeah... Those 90s 250cc and 400cc 4 cylinder supersports that would rev to infinity and sound like a V12 formula car. What beautiful machines! Too bad most of them are just rust buckets now to even get one used :(
I rode a ZXR400 once in my life and it was one of the most epic sounding bikes I ever heard in person! Way slower than modern bikes but it sounde so good that you'd feel like going at the speed of light
Agreed, I own a 91 cbr250rr, never fails to draw attention even for such a small bike :)
Josh Lewis lol twisted throttles bikes before it blew
I have a 93 zxr250 :o)
NinjaKat in japan, they sold those 250's in excellent condition, the lowest mileage i saw was below 15k km
Can't wait for the mods soon.
Just suck me up already
Honey May you gay
Great video!! Congrats on the new 2017 R6!
Love the new bike man! Loved my 2007 R6. I'll have to test ride one of these new ones! The older ones felt bulky so I'm excited on the body changes
Good on you m8 :) the new r6/1s are so dope! Happy for you Motonosity.
What a nice bike. I love Yamaha's new design of the R6! You don't have to explain to us why you got it! Just enjoy it man!
Yamaha dude! Also just got my R3 like 3 weeks ago! Cool videos bro! Ride safe out there motonosity! Will be turning on your notifications from now on!
@Motonosity I'm in love with the new r6 look. I got a 2013 r6 and I couldn't think of getting rid of her.
Awesome dude im looking forward to it!
I like the look of the new R6 because it looks so much like the new R1.
I wish I had as much money as these guys
start a build series lol
justin way gets you nowhere haha 😆
Rob Tyler - You mean advertisers?
Yamaha FanBoy Then do something about it instead of posting comments on RUclips. It's up to YOU to get the things you want in life.
Agree mate, I can't afford the bikes I would like to get, but I am working towards it, school full time, work full time, on the down side I have no time to enjoy life.
Omg cant whait for the build series with this one 🔥👌
Congrats on your new R6! 👍
LOVE THE R6. LOVE MOTONOSITY. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!
Damn i'm so jelly. Been looking into getting another R6 since I sold my 2003 and these ones just look like my style! Can't wait to see more vids of this bike.
I love how your vids showcase how beautiful the central texas/austin area is... but then again I don't because I don't want anyone else moving here lol, keep it up dude!
I completely understand about the launch year. Picked up a 2017 Grom, ended up with the first one off of the showroom floor in my city. Love the R6!!
Anyone else think that, that bike needs a after market exhaust system 😂😂
Everybody haha
Motonosity goo with Akrapovič
No, not really.
go with sc projects if your neighbours dont mind
Akrapovic always looks good on Yamaha R bikes.
Those who question why you got an R6 have never ridden one lol I am in love with my 2007 R6. Such power, style, handling, and wild powerband. It feels like riding a stallion below 13k rpms, then suddenly turns into a crazed bull at the later ranges. I am dying to own the new 2017, so we'll see what happens haha
Such a beautiful place to cruise. Look at the colour of that sky! Not a cloud in sight!
I love my new R6 after owning 2 R1's! Congrats on the new purchase. I also am one of the the pre order buyers of the R6 so I did get the qs but it's not what I imagined. It does not shift seamlessly while holding the throttle down. I have to let up on the throttle then shift.
very well said.. i just ordered a leftover 2017 in the white and matte silver yesterday!!! Now I just have to wait a few days.
The new R6 is so sexy! Stoked you'll be working on this bike!
The R6 is such a beautiful bike and is an icon. I ride a 2007 R6S that I re-built and I truly love the bike; however, I'm picking up a new one soon(ish). Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one...
Thank you. You just make me to go and get an R6, hopefully next month. Thanks again.
Enjoy watching your channel! Love the new R6 ! New subscriber in SC!
46 yrs old and still love rideing super sports.
Thank goodness haha. I'm sure one day I'll be all about that Goldwing life tho :P
Motonosity ! no you'll get a liter naked bike like I did when you get older and you'll be more comfortable and still have awesome power and handling similar to a supersport😉👍🏻
Redline passed that mark a long time ago !! You got some catching up to do Jeff !! lol
He can only be as old as he is
you don't have to be a certain age to ride sport bikes
Mmm perfect, everything is answered. THANK YOU MOTONOSITY YOU"RE GREAT
I just rode this bike yesterday. it was absolutely amazing. so fast and smooth!
That's an awesome bike man, I am the same way as you. I had a 600 upgraded to a liter bike, which I LOVE, now I want a 600 again also! Maybe one day! Enjoy the bike!
Liked the video because of how cool that transition from introduction to driving was.
I'm digging the small editing effects.
man motonosity im happy you got that bike.. i ordered mine here in canada back in November of 2016 and they havent shipped ours yet ...yamaha Canada delayed ours till may ughhhh...slightly jealous at you
About to go out and buy one myself :D Had a 2009 R1 and definitely don't need a liter bike for my daily commute to work. Looking forward to this sexy beast
love your vids
lovely R6! keep up the good work 👍
love your channel
keep these daily videos comin
You are probably the best Moto vlogger right now 😍😍😍
+Mikael S-P Thanks man!
Coming from someone who has driven both those cars I can completely relate man that was a great analogy
I was in the market for this exact Motorcycle..I was even planning to put a deposit on once they released it I could be on of the first ones to get on but the dealership I went thru didn't want to work with me regarding the down payment and monthly payment so I just walked away....its a beautiful bike be safe out there man
I understand that's why I have two scooters one is a 400 burgman I take on long trips and the other one is a zuma 125 just to mess around on short scenic trips in the city both are different rides. Enjoy your bike great video
I got a bunch of shit from my non track friends going from a s1000rr to a r6, but honestly all of the liter bike crowd on street that had no track time didn't understand how much bike was wasted on street in daily commuting or spirited rides. granted i still use my rsv4 RF for commuting here and there since it is a beast for power but the 600 is still a fun bike to take to twisties and commute. Either way congrats on the r6 enjoy your bike, and see you at Cota!
i love your Chanel and every new Video. do your thing ❤
Just buy what u like ~ Always supports u and know u r good at choosing the suitable one for yourself.
Fairplay to you mate, a lovely bike. The best looking 600 on the market in my opinion.
I'd have to agree ;)
Because they are gorgeous machines. Got the white and gray, they are definitely a head turner +Motonosity
I totally agree with u. The 600cc is so much fun entering the corners than the 1000cc. I just upgraded to a liter. I can see the difference.
Watching this in 360p, and I ain't even mad. Motonosity's content is *fire emoji*
Parth Patel 🔥🔥🔥
You getting the R6 brought me back to your channel, no offense brother. Can't wait to see the progression
Shoutout from Killeen TX!!
you said "R6" over 9000 times not even kidding, love your content :)
Motonosity great choice!!!
Looked into the 2017 R6 shifter when you mentioned it yesterday, and was surprised to see they're using a long-lever shifter on it from the factory, but there's already kits for it to swap it for GP-shift etc.
So far I've seen people just drill and tap a hole half-way up the lever and just moved the joint there to get the GP shift, or just buy the 2015 R1 levers that already have it.. saw the guys at SportbikeTrackGear had a video on one of those that fit that's straight from the R1 with the GP-shift hole on it
I think you're making it more complicated than it is. With the R1 and R6, to switch to GP shift all you have to do is flip the shift rod. No drilling or anything. Unless I misunderstood what you were talking about.
Nonono the actual lever on the 2015 R1 has a hole you just need to tap to make it GP-shift, you just move the actual rod there once it's tapped (it's literally made for it). A hole so the connector doesn't have to be flipped. I tweeted you a pic from SportbikeTrackGear's video with the R1 lever back when the bike was so new it didn't have any kits available. Much quicker to just buy a cheap R1 lever and tap it, than having to wait for aftermarket sets. R6's problem is you can flip the thing.
..or just watch: /watch?v=iCOJfd1GtAs
Actually.. let me rephrase that simpler. 2017 R6 doesn't have the room to just flip the rod (hence why people are saying you can't with it's quick-shifter), but it has almost the same shifter-lever as the 2015 R1, but it's missing the GP-shift hope the R1 has. If you tap said hole on the R1 shifter, you don't need to flip the rod. You just move the rod's connection to the lever back and it'll be reversed.
Simply put; R1 lever has a hole made for moving the rod to it once said hole is tapped, for GP-shift. R6 has the same lever WITHOUT the hole. Would need to see some proper up-close HD shots of the lever to know for sure if it's possible like people are saying it should be. But dunno, the fairings might be in the way even
I loved the old headlight design of the last generation R6 but that is stunning. I can't wait for the toce exhaust install 😂
I'm absoulutly with you😍 I love the R6 more than any other.. and I've ridden many litre bikes😜
love it. kinda hope you stick with the blue theme to shake it up.
He said that the Daytona 675 was out of his budget when he bought the R1. It makes me happy to know that he can have pretty much what ever bike that he wants now. Hard work does pay off, especially if you have 3.5 motorcycles
Motonosity not sure that you really need to justify it is your money but you know I have had all kinds of bikes over the past 20 years of riding and I must say that riding a slow bike fast is WAY more fun then riding a fast bike slow. have fun I love the new R6 tho it would have been nice if they gave it the new dash, Enjoy the bike I look forward to see the build process
i'm glad you got the r6
Beautiful color!
I have to say I plan on getting a 2017/18 r6 as soon as I am financially able. I mean I like the older r6 but damn the new one just looks so freaking good. I like the blue but hope to see maybe some red for the 2018 year model.
it's lit. I absolutely love the new r6, and would buy one in a heart beat if I cold afford a brand new bike
Awesome analogy with the M cars @motonosity
When you're ready to do a comparison video let me know. I have a 2016 stock R6 and I'm right up 183.
I hate when people say a liter bikes are way too much for the street... I look at them and say EVERY super sport is way too much for the street, so who cares! Get what makes you feel good, that why you get them in the first place. Congrats on the new bike! :D You should look into an adventure bike next for your build series (BMW GS800/1200 Triumph Tiger/explorer)
damn, you just gave me great perspective. now I must go buy the new r6, I'll be in my late 30s for the next gen of r6's haha.
So it's not as new as yours......
But I may have picked up an 05 r6 today 😁
2017 model looks incredible mate, I'm glad you love it
I plan on getting a 09 or 10 r6 when the warm weather is back
The bike sounds really smooth
Gorgeous upgrade bruh!
Edit:
Swear the bubble noise in the video, was broskie pinning my comment😞
I'm 39 and about to get my first bike. Based on your videos it might be the R6. I hope I'm not too late to the game. Cheers!
Tyler Harris Haha . No. I ended up getting a Gsxr750 :). And then a year later a Ducati Multistrada 😁
Bike looks super! In sweden the "new" R6 came in 2006 and that one and the 2007 was the same model then in 2008 a much improved bike came and thats the one that changed in 2016... i think they did 136 changes to the bike in 2008. So have you tuned the suspension to your wheight yet? You should set the sag of the bike for around 30-35mm thats a good starting point!
The gytr QS not inherently working with gp shift pattern was a bummer, realized it after installing...going to try moving the shift rod back just like the r1, but may not work.
ill tell you why you bought it, cus you secretly wanna date walter :D
Can't resist the beard.
Motonosity Hey man I'm from Houston. I bought a 16 R1 about a month ago and I've been dying to go to Austin... let's ride this weekend??
Motonosity it's understandable ;)
Brah I am jealous that R6 looks BEAUTIFUL
love the mirrors but have to admit it feels weird watching your video with them on haha. Are you leaving these on?
Nice mate!!
I think my favorite r6 is the 03 to 04 but yours is really jeat aswel!
are you gonna do a build series for this one? I can't imagine how much of a change you can do to this bike except for color and exhaust.
Damn, really like this bike.. So sad this not yet release in SEA
What are your thoughts about the MV Agusta F3? Also are you thinking about a different brand for the 1000cc update if you choose to do so?
The 2017 R6 looks spectacular in my opinion
That R6 is BEAST Moto! Yamaha is KING. Wise choice! I may trade my 2008 R6 for one. Or a Daytona Triumph 675r
Always like honda and suzuki more but the r6 09 and 17 i really been liking even the stock exhaust look
Do you ever ride Lime Creek? If so, how often? I love my Zx6r and i try to go every now and then but if I new more people would ride that rode, i'd go more often.
Def look into racefit, or Austin racing, or competition werkes gp slip ons for exhaust. Sound and look are amazing.
I love how the video titled "Why I got the 2017 yamaha r6", spends 7 minutes explaining past videos and not actually going over why you purchased the 600.....
Hi dude , i just join the channel and i liked your video . good job .
Hello again from Florida.
I want one! I'm too short to handle comfortably though. I know they can be lowered, but I've heard that does different and additional wear and tear to the bike. Suggestions?
Oh man, can't wait for the new V4 supersport Honda is cooking up!
You should still try the 675R and let us know what you think about it.
Hey just looking into maybe updating R6 to the new model, this new one looks like is a bit less wide and a bit lighter, how would you compare it to the prev generation. Is that 1cm thinner even noticeable, how much more nimble is in the turns? thanks
I kept guessing R6 before you got the Ruckster. I agree that the power of a 1000 is addictive. But Rossi is the caliber of rider who can really wring all the power difference out of one! ☮️
Anybody know how he did the camera transition in the first cut? Really loved that!
