What she said.

 

I did it many years ago and it was fun for a year or two but in the end I missed the power of the 1000 and went back up and haven't looked back since.

 

You are going to be taking a big step down in power, plus losing a year on the model. The 04 R6 is the 06+ R6s. It's not a bad bike at all, but after your years on a 1K, it will feel anemic compared to your R1. One of our guys did trade his 04 R1 for a 08 R6 (the newer style and not the S model) and hated it until he traded back up to another R1.
Hope that helps... :thumbup

T you can always ride my R6 first to see if you like it. I wanna squeeze in one more TD before the end of the year anyway.

 

only 6 i owned was my first bike, 89 fzr 600. guess it depends on why and what you are planning to do, if its a whim to see what you think of a r6 i would not do it. but im sure there are plenty of others who own both or have owned both to give you a better opinion. but it really depends on your reason:dunno

 

I wouldnt, I traded my 06 r6 for an 07 r1, then traded my 07 r1 for an 09 r6 but reeeally miss the big bike so I ended up getting my 09 r1 and kept the r6 also, what I'm trying to say is, you'll really miss the 1.:yesnod

 

I used to love riding my wifes little Ninja 250 around, in fact I was faster on LCR (the best twisty road in Austin) with her Ninja than I am on my R1.... well through the corners anywase.

But, I could always go home and hop on the R1 that i call The Beast.

I think your right guys, I should just wait untill I can have one of each. The one thing that made it a little more tempting, was getting the extra cash for X-mas. But screw the kids, they'll be just fine with a box of Cracker Jacks:crash

I would like to take you up on that offer Frank. I would love to take you for a ride:scared....I mean your bike, yeah, thats what I meant.

Ok, cool. Lets hit up a day at H2R soon. Maybe get Rex to go out one last time before the end of the year too.

 

Don't do it, you will be disappointed.

 

i just moved up from a R6 to a R1, and after experiencing the power of the R1 i dont think i could ever go back down. the amount of power and torque available everywhere is just too addicting.

 

Just dont do it, you will always regret it!

 

Street only - R1

Street/Track - R1

Track only - R6

I know I'm in the minority, but that's nothing new :lol

 

Well put.

 

I might trade my 07 Z06 Corvette for a Honda Civic, I heard they are fast with NAWS.

 

NOOOO! Dont do it!

 

Some guy just offered to swap his unicycle for my 2011 Raven, what do you think guys?

 

Depends if he's offering you US $12K cash with the unicycle so you can go grab a 2012 R1 with Traction Control. Then, you'll have the Unicycle you've always wanted as well. :thumbup

 

Being able to generally cruise around in 3rd gear youll miss. Plus I think that is the old r6 now r6s right? From that place I wouldnt. Either way ride safe and enjoy the bike

 

Yeap, 05 and earlier R6 is now the 06+ R6S, not the current day R6 track weapon.

 

I have both!! 03 R6 (which is the same as the 04) and an 04 R1. I jump on the R6 when i wanna just rip thru gears and get a little obnoxious. Brings a lil squiddy grin to my face every time. The R1 just plain slaps you in the face after ridin the 6. Tells you to man up and get with it. You wanted power sir so here ya go. SOOOOOOOOO ADDICTING. So im gonna say stay with the R1

 

Well not for that year R6 maybe an 08 or newer

 

:no You won't be happy!

 

Best bet would be to put both in the stable.

 

Even that generation r6 is great on the track, I prefer my r1 all around. I'm faster on my r6s but I love the passing power of the r1.

I missed my 07 cbr1krr a lot after going to my r6s.

 

I have one of each in the garage and sure....if I'm deep in the NC mountains on the tightest twisties...the R6 is great but for my overall riding experience...NO WAY I'd take the R6 over my R1 unless I needed the $2k really bad.

These days I don't even ride the R6...the wife does.

 

if i were to get into another r6, it would not be the 04... at the very least it would be an 05 R6... inverted forks... big difference..

but seriously.. going from an R1 down!?? why!?

 

No way...don't do it.

In my experience, I had an 06 R1 and an 06 R6 at the same time, and never rode the R6. It's a wheezy, screamy little buzzbox. Having said that...years ago I went from a GSXR 1100 J to a GSXR 750 WT to an NSR 250 SP. I had a brilliant year, riding the wheels off it, but got bored quickly and swapped it back for the 750.

 

Tom will you please share what you're smoking :lol

 

Street only--02/03 R1

Street/Track--gix 750

Track only--07+ 600rr

I know I'm in the minority, but that's nothing new :lol

:dollar

 

Your year R1 is nasty! Keep it.
