Indeed it was. Some awesome* overtakes and sweepers. Throw in a couple of kneedown roundabouts and all is well with the world.

The first roundabout I could feel my knee heating up where I was getting the leather. I must invest in some trousers with less baggy knee's! I was surprised at how comfy your R6 seemed. Potential bike buying mayhem once more! R6 in black is nice!


* I can't believe he made that one and I'm following!

They're not that expensive now, as two new gens have come out.

Get a 05 not a 03/04 as they have the tarty USD forks/better brakes from the R1. Also have a fatter rear tyre. They have a slighly more robust engine as well.

I shouldn't be tempting you really as if you do get one, it will be sold in a month!

All you need to do is show Dan a bike picture and he's already at the garage putting a deposit down

Are you a fan of slow steering or does the R6 come with a turbo these days?

Yup, that's me!

I have to admit I was rather impressed with the R6. The top end is pretty damn good. My Hornet's low down power is good and slightly better than the R6 but once you get the revs up the R6 takes off like a 2 stroke rockets ship! I'm not over keen on the R6 styling though but it seems comfy, sounds awesome and seems plenty quick. ASM wants an R1 so I think he should sell me his R6 at mates rates! That being said, the thought of ASM on an R1 worries me!
