Sweet looking track weapon! Even better you dont have to shell out serious coinage for suspension and setup. Congrats and enjoy.

Yea, they are the big, hollow derlin ones.Those sliders are massive, though.
Haha! I look forward to it.I would be jealous of you...if not for me currently building my 05' into a track bike :devious ....and then we will go head to head at the track this season....you will see why it was a mistake to sell your 06' :2fingerlol:
That has always been the issue with the R6 but since you are riding it as a dedicated track bike, it won't be much of an issue. It doesn't hit 30lb-tq until above 5k/RPM. As a street bike, it is by far the worst street bike out of the big 4 as it has absolutely no power/torque until you get above 8-10K and then it screams like a banshee from there until redline. Suspension and setup is entirely track focused so you got a great weapon there. Enjoy the bike as she is a beautyNice looking ride! Allow yourself some time to get used to it, it is a very different platform than the ZX...and be prepared to wring the crap out of it to get any power. They love high range only and lack the mid-range that the ZX can put out.
That said, their top end screams and really puts out some decent power if you can stay in the fun zone.
Yea, well aware of the lack of mid and low range power. As its a dedicated track bike, not a major issue, just need to make sure to keep her in the "fun zone" while out on the circuit! Also, as its a 2010 model, the it does have a slightly flatter curve than its 07 and prior predecessor.Nice looking ride!

Thought about it, but didnt really want to dump anymore time and money into a 2006 bike with 20k miles.anyway you could beef up the 05/06 trans?
Thanks buddy!I'm kinda jealous, I been thinking about getting a 08+ r6. These machines are very nimble. I had loads of fun on my friends and didnt have to muscle it around like i have to muscle my 07 6r. Congrats on the purchase man.
