This bike is a great starter or good for someone who likes to go fast but doesn't want back problems. It has enough power to pick up a wheelie in second gear but also tame enough so you wife/girlfriend can learn to ride it. Overall a well rounded bike.... read more

I had not been on a bike for 15 years, but knew it was time again. This road warrior was just the right ticket for someone who needed to get his feet wet again, but not have the wits scared out of him. I have taken it on some long mountain road trips, and it has kept me on the edge of my seat on more than one accasion. The muscle is there, the balance is there, and it does deserve respect in the corners. You will love this bike if you are just starting out again.

I bought my 2004 YZF600R used. What a great bike. Handles the twisties well, is very forgiving, yet has enough power to keep me satisfied. Comfort is far and away better than all of the supersport lay-on-the-tank bikes out there, but with a good rider, can keep up with the best of them. I highly recommend ... read more
I bought my 2004 YZF600R used. What a great bike. Handles the twisties well, is very forgiving, yet has enough power to keep me satisfied. Comfort is far and away better than all of the supersport lay-on-the-tank bikes out there, but with a good rider, can keep up with the best of them. I highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants power and performance without completely sacrificing comfort on longer rides.

After a 15 year hiatus and 3 months of intensive review/research I finally made my selection and purchased this bike (color:Raven) 3 weeks ago. I am 100% thrilled!!!!! Can't think of a downside to this baby. I needed a break from my gas guzzling 05 Yukon and decided on this beauty for day to day hustle to work as well as for my planned weekend jaunts. She's powerful, sleek, ultra comfortable, and just know how and when to respond to my every command. No regrets in my purchase. Utterly fantastic!!!

This is my first bike in over 30 years. In the 70s I had a Suzuki 250 trailbike. I was doubtful that a 600cc bike would be big enough for me at 300lbs. No doubt, this bike can fly! At only 200 miles, I'm trying to be easy on it, but I can tell the power is there. Very comfortable, smooth and good looking... read more
