nice review and very accurate...The 06-07 r6 is nearly a perfect bike. It handles extremely well and has power to spare in the upper RPM range. The only fall back is the lack of power below 8000 RPM.

@ZR1Terror I hope you are kidding

@ZR1Terror

another way to look at the comment you made is this. assume you take a regular everyday corvette to the track, then compare it to a corvette that has numerous suspension upgrades. they are both the same car, but obviously the modified corvette will perform better if you have a professional driver in both.

@Maksimka8 hmm, good point man!!

@ZR1Terror all the cars have 4 wheels, whouldnt be the handling the same on all cars? hell NO. Just like that on the bikes.

[ZR1Terror]

how can one bike handle better than another if they just have two wheels, wouldn't the handling be the same on all bikes

[Vaginiti5]

None of them do. I own a 07 my buddy has an 09 the get to 17.5 tach reads 20k on all of them

@cheeta5037 I'm thinking about buying one. Do all of the 06's have the 20k redline or are just a FEW like that?
