Thread: Bought an 08 Yamaha R6

My first bike...

looks awesome man, I've been looking at some black R6 lately

The black R6 is the Raven Edition. Really nice bike I had one before for like 8 months. I sold it after I saw a friend on my bike team killed himself on another bike.

Nice and basically new . Wish I had that when I started riding , Enjoy & Be Safe !!!
Ride defensively as if all cars are out to get you . Dnt ever let your gaurd down not even stopped at a red light . And if you allready took the safety course .
Try to get into an advanced course/class just for the knowledge let alone experience, promise youll learn some stuff you would never learn on the road . Sorry to sound this way but its all real talk . Love Yamahas !!FTW God i miss my R1<stolen, never recovered>

Ride Safe brotha !!!! Cuz its sure gonna be tempting to open that throttle up!!

Awesome bike!

I have an 06' R6 Anniversary Edition.


Are you on r6-forum. com?

Thanks guys! I will be taking the safety course soon, then on to the track. I am not on that R6 forum, but I will check it out.

Great bike. Congrats!

Congrats on the new motorcycle! I picked my first one up recently too. Weather has been beautiful for riding lately! You bought at a great time!

Thanks! Unfortunately, it's raining down here and I'm not too comfortable riding like that yet, especially in Cali. :\ Anyone know of a few awesome places to buy accessories for these bikes? Even riding gear?

Fun bike center has a decent selection of gear. Another shop is NCY motorsports in San Marcos. Stark cycles in Miramar. There is another shop right by san diego car stereo off of convoy but I don't remember the name.
