Morning commute on my 06R6

Making some great time during my morning commute on my 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6.

NOTE: This was my first time out with my new camera mount and I had some problems with it moving a bit. Just need to tighten it up more for the next ride.

...Oh, and don't try this at home. :)

Hey, this would do more if you've putted 6th gear... 1:15 you drop to 5th and then keep like that until 152MPH. :S

[SpeedDemon46]

I wasn't actually trying to top it out on this run - I kept it in 5th to keep the RPMs up so I could accelerate hard when I hit open spots with little traffic + good visibility. I wind it out all the way up through 6th in my 165mph video run, though.

Is this stock?? Damm it has some power

[SpeedDemon46]

Except for some carbon fiber body panels and an Ohlins damper, it's bone stock - Zero modifications to the engine/drivetrain/exhaust.  I've got over 16k miles on it now and I ran it in a free "dyno shootout" last weekend just to see how it would do - It made 103hp at the rear wheel (again, bone stock). It actually beat out some other 600's with full aftermarket exhausts and race fuel (most were in the 97-101rwhp range). I was pleasantly surprised at how she performed. :)

103 or 130? because 103 is very little for an R6R.

[SpeedDemon46]

It was 103, but that's rear-wheel horsepower. The manufacturers quote HP rating at the engine crank - The '06 R6 is 'rated' by Yamaha as making "133hp". You lose a lot between the motor and the wheel, though. That's why the dyno rating is lower than the factory-quoted number.

@Vitalisyo You won't get hurt if you're not a dumbass. However, if you are, you could easily die.

[BenderMcGee88]

ummm is it scary cornering at 130 mph?

[Thomazz46]

better than coffee in the morning! Good job dude!

[geoffart]

[killachipmunk]

The rev range on this thing's incredible! Mine'll do 4-11000 happily. Eat that four wheelers!

You should have dropped 'er down a cog or two and blown that shitty Corvette into the weeds ;) :D :D :D
