Yamaha R6 demo ride

[muaymendez1]

So I was at the dealer looking for a part for a friends carb and I kept looking at the sport bike alley.

A salesman came up to me and after I told him how fun it would be to have a second toy and Ive always wanted to do a burnout and a wheelie, he brought me the keys and said go have some fun but be careful.

 

I had 5 hours with this thing and it was amazing.

Teh truth is I only rode for short 20 minute bursts . I stopped homoe had Sausage and peppers. then rode some more.

Its amazing how light that bike is and although the grunt wasnt there , I did find myself hitting 90 on residential streets.And the front brake is so touchy. I remember thinking how I was gonna lock up the front.

NOTE TO SELF>

" no sport bike for me" END NOTE.

I couldnt get the smile off my face but unfortunatly i had to leave teh bike there with a dissapointed salesman.

what do you mean the grunt was'nt there. 0 to 60 in a little over 3 seconds ain't slow. mine would run 90 in low gear.

I did some thinking and it was unfair to say it had no grunt. I am a 368 lb guy after all. And I may have been twisting the throttle like a cruiser. It was fun for sure and woyldnt .ind having it in my garage.
