    Man those new R6's are beautiful! The originals were awesome but they improved them by leaps and bounds.

    Yeah, its my 3rd R6.

    The blue one behind that one, WAS mine, but I sold it to a buddy.

    Then I bought a brand new 2006 R6 (Raven black) and totaled it (cold tires and gravel do NOT mix).

    Then I bought a brand new 2007 R6


    I really like the newer 2 over the first one that I had. Its alot sportier. Fly by wire controls and better fuel management. Although my Wife complains that the passenger seat was better on the old blue one. Then again, once she became a Mother, she is no longer a rider.

    I was turning at a stop sign. Slowed down and was only moving fast enough to keep my balance. Turned right and the wheel kicked out from under me and then snapped back throwing me over the handle bars. The torque of the handle bars yanked my shoulder out and left me with a separated shoulder. It was that same torque that left a dimple in my frame. That dimple caused Progressive Insurance to total my bike. Total vs. repair was $400 and they wouldnt let me pay the difference. I now have Allstate insurance.

    I always wear a padded jacket, helmet and gloves. All of which I believe helped reduce the damage that was done to my body. My gloves were all tore up and my helmet had some dings.

    Can I play, too?

    It may be 10 years old now, but only has 15,000 miles. Get's 50+ mpg, and is more fun than my old body can handle. I really should have a cruiser for my bad back, but it's just not in my character.
