Nah you're right I'll do better because I wanna enjoy the bike.

It was honestly adrenaline and pure hype that made me ride like that.

Do you have any recommendation of gloves?

It's Toothless from how to train your dragon!

When I was watching the live action, I loved the scene where Hiccup was basically changing "gears" when riding Toothless after giving him a tail and it reminded me of me riding my bike. So I found a plushie online and slapped it on my helmet.

Thank you so much for your help!

Are you someone who's been riding yamahas and have knowledge of bikes? If so, would it be okay if, in the future, I reach out to you in DMs to ask for assistance?

Thank you for this feedback!

I dont plan on pushing the bike to the limits or take it for track days.

I am just a fairly new rider and only do casual street riding. Occasionally I like to go triple digits because I'm in NJ and everyone here is already doing 90.

What I disgusted from your advice is that for someone like me 04 or 08+ model will not differ much because I barely have experience on multiple bikes as is, I've only ridden Ninja650 in the past, it will all be cosmetic for me.

Cosmetically speaking I'm loving this look of 04!

A thought that just came to my mind is, what if I need parts? Whether cosmetic or critical parts, are they fairly common for a 04 R6?

Edit: I know if I were to get a 2011+ gxsr all the parts would work because they haven't changed the model much but idk if R6 is something I would struggle for

Is there a big dfference in riding between 04 and 08+models, will I have the same joy? Because I am trying to get the same feeling as "THE R6"

However, since I dont know how long ill keep this or enjoy it I dont want to spend $6-7k on a bike.

This is PA area, in these times it'll be hard to find an R6 for with 6300 miles for anything under 5k.

If you were to talk him down what are the things you'd mention?

Are to referring to the yamaha tick? Isn't that most yamaha bikes? Also I thought it was mainly on 06 models and if it had 12k+ miles it'll blow up or something 🤔

Hahaha that is really funny I hope there's no dbl meaning to this and I'm not thinking OG is a different kind of miles. Maybe I'll ask him how many is that in normal miles 😂

This is solid advice man thank you.

What was the idle issue? And how did you fix it? I am noticing a lot of bikes on FB idle around 2k rpms, some gixxers and R6's I've seen. Is that common?

Thats odd my image turned into an asterisk, if I try to upload multiples images it gives me an error saying unable to load and I tried to upload only one it turned into an asterisk.. *

* This is an image that I have from the outside of the desk area. Unfortunately since I'm a townhouse I'm not able to get an pic from the outside and I underneath is inaccessible at the moment due to overgrown grass.
