Nice :thumbsup:

Wasn't sure about the new R6 at first, but it's grown on me, especially in black 8)

As a fellow black R6 owner, I have to say you chose well!
Looks fantastic.

Nice Black R6.

How does your other half find the Mille?

Cheers peeps! I love my R6 :p yup looks great in black, is now the fastest colour! Scoobs sure you can have a go - if you can catch me!! Am still down south now and again - trying to make it to Poole one Tuesday...

Tim - the other half adores the Mille, more than me I think which is a bit worrying ;) ... he's been riding for years and really gets the best out of the bike which it deserves. I've had a few rides on it - MAAAANN does that thing go! Massive amount of torque and being a twin the revs are about a quarter of my R6 at the same speed. A bit of a big bike for me though...

Yep - the black is the best! You should lob off those pillion pegs! takes about 2 mins and makes the rear look so neat :D

:cool: Have done already - got them off the weekend after those pics were taken when I discovered the blanking plates in the bag with the pillion seat - doh!! Next thing DB screen and eventually a new can...

want to take it on a trackday sometime - anyone got any suggestions for a good first time track not too far from Weymouth where it lives at the moment? Or a track school where they provide the bike?

Hmm, don't know for trackdays - Thruxton isn't too far away, but they don't do bike trackdays, which sucks. All the more southern tracks that I can think of are all ~150 miles+ away. Anyone?

You with the new R6 and the other half riding the old. He's green as the Kwak with envy, that's what I think :)

Naaa - the other half's got the RSV!! He likes the R6 but he looks ridiculously big on it! especially from behind with that tiny rear the R6 has :p

You're a brave girl saying that here, especially saying he's a big bloke. RSV eh, he must be a man of taste. Take good care of him, he's of the rare kind :)

I suspect your best bet is going to be Castle Coombe, still a bit of a trek though but thats probably the nearest one.

Unfortunately Castle Coombe don't like the new R6 exhaust - even as stock :(

Which is a real pain.
