jchin3081 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I know some of you may have seen this teaser video for the R6. If you haven't. My parts buying for my FZ has been at a standstill. I've been waiting for some indication of the 2017 r6 as my next bike and not knowing how much more money I wanted to put into the FZ. Only a little longer before the unveiling. Can't wait.

Premium Member pgeldz Posted September 19, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted September 19, 2016 I can't wait to see what they come up with. Yamaha has been knocking it out of the park as of late. - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchin3081 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah, I'm thinking it should be pretty nice. I asked my guy at the dealer to keep me updated as soon as any news comes in or when they will be available. Just hoping the price isn't so inflated that I end up getting another R1 because it costs almost the same. I'm trying to stay away from trouble. Lol.

duenan Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Its too bad I can't stand supersport posture and parking lot speeds with them. Otherwise I would be excited. They are sure nice to look at though. Engaging with people that have personality disorders on a message board is like arguing with a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdrew Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Cant wait to see what they offer. I miss my 03 R6! 2016 FZ07 - LOVING IT!! 2003 R6 - SOLD 2006 FZ6 - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm sure it'll be a fantastic bike and I would get one for the adrenaline rush of feeling like you're on a missile but for as much as I would be able to ride any super sport like it's meant to be ridden it would be a waste of money. There's just too many cars and cops around to be riding at 100+ all the time. Edit: Of course if I could afford it just for the track that would be another thing. I'm sure some people will do just that. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duenan Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 http://www.sportrider.com/new-2017-yamaha-yzf-r6-unveiled Thoughts? Doesn't mean anything to me truthfully because I can't stand supersport ergonomics and low speed handling. I just wanted to see what it looks like.

jchin3081 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 I love it. I just wished the white came with the gold forks also, but maybe the people designing the bike tried it and it didn't look right. I guess I'll go to my go to color Blue. The black looks nice too. I'm debating about going to the dealer to put the deposit. Won't have it until next year anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchin3081 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just called my dealer. He's sending me a form for the deposit. I didn't get the form yet, so I can still save myself. Lol. My wife isn't going to be happy. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member avanti Posted October 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 13, 2016 You mean you couldn't just leave a credit card deposit by phone??? You have to return a form?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchin3081 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 You mean you couldn't just leave a credit card deposit by phone??? You have to return a form?!? I'm not sure. They just said I needed to fill one out. I've never done a deposit for a bike before. Maybe just a form with your contact info, color, etc. The dealer said the $500 deposit covers the shipping of the bike. They will get a certain amount of bikes in the showroom automatically when shipped, but these will be separate from the ones shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member avanti Posted October 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 13, 2016 I've never NOT paid by credit card: bike, car, truck. Next time, I'd suggest you ask and perhaps speed things up a bit. Enjoy the new bike!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Apparently the first 500 bikes get the quickshifter in the US (again, in Europe it's better - quickshifter isn't an option, it just comes with the bike): http://www.motorcycle.com/?p=46523 Safe riding!

Premium Member avanti Posted October 14, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted October 14, 2016 I must say that though it has no shortage of superfluous creases, edges, etc. this bike is not nearly as ugly as many new sport bikes--especially Japanese. I was taught good design is based on THEME and variation... not unfettered amounts of the latter. If the black one pictured also had a black muffler (or whatever it actually is), with black levers and pedals it would be nicely passable, imho. Thanks for posting all the pix.

jchin3081 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 It's been ordered. I was going to get the white, but I just stuck with the color that always made me happy and got blue. I probally won't be getting it until around April, but atleast it's been ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbatrossCafe Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Needs a crossplane inline 4. I don't like the sound of the standard 16k reving inline 4.

Yeah, I've never been too impressed with the stock R6 exhaust either (I'm thinking to the most part, it should be the same or close to the same as the previous model). The back seat rest area I could live with. We'll see how it is once it comes out. I'm excited but I will miss the FZ-07. I know people will probally ask "why don't you keep both?", and as much as I want to, I do not need to keep multiple bikes anymore. I don't ride as much as I used to and this should keep me satisfied for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I made it to get the free Quick shifter for the first 500 people, but who knows. For the price, they should include it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
