Yamaha YZF-R1 reviews

After months of searching for a bike, I found that with my height, Yamaha bikes fit me the best (really long legs) and after getting over my ego in having an R6, I found that the 600R is a perfect bike for new rides as well as pros. It has plenty of power, topping out at around 130 or so. Plus, for the price, it can't be beat. I could not afford an R6 and after taking the motorcycle safty course I realized that I did not need a 100+ HP bike, and as far as specs go, from 99 to 07 the 600r have all the same spec just different plastic. This is an amazing bike, you don't need a track bike for the street. Show less

I purchased my R6s April 7th, 2007. Since that day every time I have started it up till the point I have parked it, it has been completely flawless. I have friends with the R6, the GSXR 600 and constantly I hear of issues they are having. Never with my R6S. It is smoother than you will imagine and faster than you imagine. I can't say that I will ever be able to use it to its full potential even stock. Plenty of bike. Great bike for experienced or beginners, just a great bike. Show less

This is the first motorcycle I had ever ridden and it was easy to learn. I love this bike and recommend it to anyone who loves to go fast and look good. I tried out the GSXR 600 and I like this a lot more. Great bike! Show less

I got my 07 R6 charcoal black. It's been nothing but a riot to ride. Fun in the turns. In the low end, it is a slug but the top end, that's a different story. I know she does a lot more than 170mph... Show less

The Yamy 2007 R6S is a great bike. It is relativly comfortable, and has a great feel to it. This bike gives you the option to take it easy out on the roads, or tear it up. I have so much fun on it and get a lot of compliments. Oh and let me tell you if you want to be noticed even more, or if you just like the smell of it, fuel up your tank with racing fuel. It is about 103 octane, it is more expensive, and hard to find, but it's worth it, plus it is only a 5.5 gallon tank. Show less

The R6 is my first bike. I bought the red color and I had to go to 3 stores before I found it. 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. Show less

This is by far my Favorite bike yet. I have ridden both the GSXR, the CBR, and previously owned the 2002 Yamaha R6. This was a upgrade from the 2002 after an accident, and let me tell you, this bike is amazing. 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.

This is my first bike, I've always wanted one and I must say, it is awesome. It's very touchy and fast, but as long as I/you take it real slow at first, the bike comes to you. But so far, the bike is perfect. Show less

I was not very experienced on sport bikes until I got my 05 R6, and it was easy to learn on and packed with power. It took a little while to get used to everything but once I did I was able to unleash it and WOW, this bike has an incredible amount of power. Show less

I went out with a group of riders...all pushing 1000's, and this bike holds it's own! I couldn't believe the power this things has. Great light weight bike. Screams at 120! Love it!!! Show less
