Sup Mates?
I hope everyone is doing great in their lives !
As the topic states. With the blessings of Allah Subhantallah I got my hands on Yamaha R6 Flame Edition.
Bike arrived very next day I sold my bike
Bike Specs:
It's a 2008 model Yamaha R6 Flame Edition. 2011 Import and Unregistered. Bike recently got Akrapovic GP Shorty Replica exhaust (Imported by me) sometime back!
Other than this bike is equipped with
* R1 inspired tank pad
* Shorty levers
* Black tinted visor
* Tail tidy
* LED indicators
* Aftermarket grips
* Hid headlamp
* Crash guards
Reason behind getting this bike was simple. Need to take an experience on Yamaha bikes as R1 was my beginner bike and I didn't have great time riding it. So opted for one. The bike is being a decade old so costed me under 1 Million pkr!
Initial Testing:
Totally different machine than a GSXR line up.
Track inclined design with track oriented seating postion. Very scary in handling as no stabilizer. Always feel like it needs you to stay on a higher rev band for enjoying full twisty throttle thurst. Breaking is great too but no where close to brembo brakes. Although I am inspired on rear disc brake on Yamaha. GSXR rear brake tends to stop working after sometime of usage due to master cylinder error (Didn't face on my both owned GSXR's).
Fuel mileage is more like same as on any other 600. Recently tuned it with a swap of iridium spark plugs.
Very different sounding in nature as compared with GSXR's. Sounds more like an F1. Bike lacks mid end power as compared with GSXR's but after 8000 rpm it feels like you are riding a rocket lol.
Enough talking let the pictures roll:
I hope you gonna like my this purchase so far. Stay tuned for more updates!
