I used to ride over 130 mph all the time on my R6... until I experienced my first tank slapper. Never again until I get a steering damper installed. Lucky to be alive. My knees were all banged up.
@bkurtz85 I've ridden 3 different years of the R6. Mine the 05, my friends 08 and another friends 2010. I feel like the 05 has a better low/mid range and the newer ones had a little better top end (sometimes lacking in the low end, but not by much). Honestly yamaha makes a great bike, you can't go wrong either way. Find one in good mechanical condition and the differences are very subtle. And if you really feel like you need a better low/mid range power... change the sprocket size.
Nice video but you aren't going quite as fast as it shows you are. Street bike speedos from the factory are anywhere from 3-5% off below 100 mph and even worse after that. I have a 2011 R6 that when I topped out said I was doing 172, but had a buddy physically clock me at 165. If you buy a speedo healer and get it recalibrated it will be pretty much spot on and then you'll really know
speedos are always off..i did about the same on my 05 , speedo showed 169 and it was gps'ed to almost 160....still fun as f and havent done it since
