    Just used a Yamaha R6 on a track day at Silverstone. What a great little bike! So easy to drop into a corner, and it feels really stable under power through even the tightest bend. As with many bikes in this class you have to keep the rev's up - let them drop below 8000 and you will really feel the lack of torque, but keep it in the power band and it will fly. On the shorter, twistier circuits like Silverstone international it will keep up with almost anything - if we had been on the GP circuit it might have been different. A great track bike, docile when wrming up but as quick as you need when you are thrashing it - just needed some slicks for maximum effect.

    I have owned my 99 Yamaha R6 for around 6 months now and this was my first bike after passing DAS. Coming of an ER5 onto a R6 was a big leap but definately worth it. The power is amazing and handling brilliantly. As others have said turns in the road are difficult your hands are so close to the tank on full lock. Otherwise can't fault it has been reliable since I have owned.

    I got this Yamaha YZF-R6 from a friend because it was too much bike for him. He let me have it for a song! He dropped the bike three times and couldn't pick it up. Not a problem for me but he found it quite a challenge. He was a shorter rider and found he had problems with his feet on the ground... once again not a problem.
    When I ride this bike I find that it's a very deceptive bike You can ride it a slow speeds and it is very comfortable in the city and for short rides on the highway, but t ...

    I have recently owned a 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6, this bike was extremely light and manouverable around town, it's fuel injected engine was smooth and manageble and made it very user friendly, that is until you gave it some stick then the pokey little motor that peaks at 18,000 rpm comes into its own. Drop a couple of gears then watch as the tachometer approaches 10,000 then you feel the surge as it takes off like a scalded cat. This has a serious grin factor and you tend not to realise how fast this ...

    I purchased this Yamaha YZF-R6 sports bike recently and found it to more than satisfy my needs. The bike appears to be very reliable. It handles extremely well and is suitable for commuting or taking those long Sunday rides.
