... well that's according to the latest AMCN dyno test.
So pipe, filter and PC should easily take it over 120. WOO HOO!

I am quite surprised the Kawasaki didnt top the testing, again they mentioned the instrument cluster which yes is a problem but they said the one they had suffered from brake fade??

They put the R6 on top, magazine must be sponsored by Yamaha or something.

I havnt tried the latest 636 buut they are turning up in numbers at the track and holding there own pretty well, If you want a good kawasaki revue read fast bikes there kawasaki mad and always rate it highly and if you want a honest revue on any model you have to wait 12 months till its last years model.

Who has time to look at the tacho when these things are screaming flat out you have to ride them by the seat of your pants anyway and I am yet to hear the rev limiter cut in.

The fact that you have to put your name on a list at the moment to buy a 05 6r must mean something.

whaaaaaaaa?? Looks like there some consolidating going on in the Motorcycle industry cause I just found out Metro Yamaha at Enoggera has been bought by Team Moto.

I know theres now a "Pro Yamaha" so what is going to be now? "Pro Kawasaki"??

In the 600 comparo in the latest TWO one of the testers on the 6R overtook a punter on a '98 R1 down the straight. Bet he's looking to trade up about now. :lol:
