It was my first bike that I owned and paid off. It's also been four years just about since I first picked it up. There hasn't been any time that it has caused me to complain about it in any way. I still ride in the canyons on the weekends, track days every other month, and use it to get me to and from school during the week. After several thousand miles into the bike, it still runs great. I've put on quite a few bolt ons and upgrades over the past years to make it unique and even more powerful. My previous review still stands from the 2k mark on this bike. The only difference being is that I was a little naive when suggesting anyone lower the bike. It changes the handling characteristics if you use it for track or canyon riding. If it is used just around town, lowering it isn't too bad. My bike is stock height and I can almost touch the ground flat with my feet. I know a few girls that are shorter than I am, who own this bike, and feel comfortable tip toeing on it. One in particular is too short and could only put one foot down. She managed for a while but eventually lowered it a little. She had to shorten the kickstand after that, but feels more confident when riding. She doesn't do any serious riding to notice any difference from lowering it. I'd say this would probably be one of the only situations you might want to lower it. And for Pete's sake, don't stretch this bike. It is beautiful as it is. If you happen to come by one of these used, I would definitely say to grab it. It is a very track worthy bike. It will lay down for you in just a flick in the corners. Get some new rear-sets though. You will end up grinding your toe slider down or peg eventually. The tank is awesome for knee placement and your upper body while in a corner. You definitely feel solid on the bike. My only complaint (if anything) would still be the seat. I've ridden over 800 miles or more in one day. Let me tell you, my butt was definitely sore. Other than that, this bike is glory all around.

As you can tell I rode about 100 miles so far on it and it's still way within its break in period before I open her up. You will never get as many compliments with any other bike like you do with this one. By far the best looking 600 out there. Plus it handles like no other. A must to own no matter the year '06, '07 or '08.

I bought this bike about two months ago. I had never rode a bike until about a week before I got this one. The first day I bought my R6 I was too scared to take it above 47mph. After about 200 miles of riding, I was ready to take it sooo much faster! I didn't because of the break in period, but it is such a good bike to learn on, it begged to go faster! I'm 5'10" and have somewhat short legs. The bike does sit up a lot higher than most. I cannot get both feet flat on the ground at the same time, however, I'm pretty close. If you are short this may not be the best for you. 4 days after I got mine, my buddy bought an 07 gixer 600. I rode his, and afterwards, I was actually much happier with mine! The gixer was more comfortable, but mine rode soooo much smoother, it didn't vibrate like the gixer either. We switched bikes for a quick ride, and he even admits that mine is AMAZING at high speed cornering! It is a track bike, it is meant to handle corners well!! I have 3300 miles on it now, and I have had it up to 154mph in 5th gear, I started to run out of road then. I would imagine that it might hit 160-165. If you're trying to make a decision between the gixer and the R6, I would get the R6 for high speed performance handeling, and cornering, if you just wana cruise, then get the gixer. I'm trading my R6 for an R1 next summer!

It's very fast, and handles great, but there's always room for more power, like exhaust and air filter upgrades and sproket. I'm still in the break in period and I can't wait till I can get it close to red line. I would suggest this bike even for a beginner like me, but I know how to ride a dirt bike, or pedal bike, so I figured this would be easy and it is.

It rides soooo smooth compared to the 2002, and screams once you hit the higher RPMs. If you're thinking about a new bike, and can't decide what you would enjoy, go with the R6, you won't be disappointed.
