So here is the 2007 R6 that I went to pick up from NY. These are just the beginning pictures so it will look ugly for a week or two but it's a start.






Hopefully by the weekend I will get some pictures of the bike by itself and then next week I should start getting it looking pretty again.

Never had an R1. R6's are good if you ride a lot in the twisties since they are a lot easier to throw around. The R1's are more or less meant for straight line 190mph driving.
I'm still a rookie to the riding world, only been riding about a year now so an R6 is plenty for right now.

Then yea, same principal applies to the SS's. Personally I don't see a need for an R1 unless you got extra money laying around and want to be able to say "my bike can do BLAH mph".
Not saying that an R6 will beat an R1 at the track, but for the majority of us riders an R6 is plenty for the streets and track.
