For those who don't know, I totalled my Katana about 3 weeks ago. Today, I bought a 1999 Yamaha R6. If my camera weren't smashed in the crash, I'd have pictures to show. It is in great condition, with 12,000 miles and very clean.
This bike is SO different from the Katana!!! It handles amazingly! It just takes a touch and the bike simply drops right into each turn. The Kat was a pretty long bike; the R6 feels TINY! I am stunned that the bike is actually reasonably comfortable. The engine is very smooth and there is plenty of power.
Did I pick a decent replacement? Any thoughts?
