I found a clean r6 in Tarzana... Anyone wanna go look at it for me? I don't own a truck or have a trailer for the :poorvette: I guess I could uber there but fuck 100 bucks just to go look at a bike is ridiculous if I don't end up buying it.
You dont have a friend who could take you in return for lunch?

I sold my gray r6 with 36k miles for 4k. If I bought this red one it would be like it never happened ;

And that’s ok. I found the limitations on my vrod and decided to buy something that better fit my riding desires.

I get :triggered: when someone argues about cruiser handling “improvements” or “capabilities”.
I don't know what you're talking about... My Harley handles the corners like nothing else.

Hey, it's actually not terrible for what it is... but it's not like my Monster or any of the GSXR's or R1's I had.

While looking for a Christmas present for my brother, I came across this.

$10,649 for an 11 year old v-rod. :ludacris: :fullretard:

I was looking at pre tcs, abs, WC, R1s and they're still going for ok money. Dealers want obscene money for 2010-2014 models doe.
https://motorcycles-plus.com/2009-yamaha-yzf-r1.html id be okay paying about that because that bike looks perfect, lower miles,
and stock. Its easier to commute on a R1 but honestly I think the r6 is a better bike to own fun-wise.

eh, most people have ton to lean before they need 1000cc bikes. R3 will do 90% of what r1 will do and serve your needs 98% of the time if not more
