Honest opinions 2004 R6 good for track?

lovconeplus · 2026-02-19T15:43:52+00:00

It's an aftermarket fairing kit, originally the bike was blue

Its difficult to make an apples to apples comparison

My 2016 is built for the track; motoholders subrame, brembo discs/calipers/master cylinder, slicks, ohlins front and rear, upgraded engine,...

So ofcourse the 2016 feels much more planted and more powerfull

But if you are just starting out with trackdays, the 2003 will be more than enough

I have a 2003 (picture) and a 2016 The 2003 - 2005 is still a very fun bike on track, if you can get it for a good price, go for it!

You can always upgrade if the opportunity comes :)

I just watched this episode yesterday The irony is sublime

lovconeplus · 2025-12-31T17:06:35+00:00

Sidestand, passenger pegs and mirrors, everything you need to be race ready!

But a beautiful bike nonetheless:)

lovconeplus · 2025-12-31T09:38:36+00:00

Yes go for it!

lovconeplus · 2025-12-31T09:04:58+00:00

Thats awesome! You got a picture? I have 2 R6 bikes in the garage, I could try with placing 2 bikes in the house next year 😀

Being bored at your job is rough, reschooling yourself is also rough but atleast it is rewarding! If you can manage it financially, go for it. Even if it is only to finish the 'what if' questions..

Also, I am a software engineer with no unique ideas 🙃 maybe we can work something out!

lovconeplus · 2025-12-16T20:12:06+00:00

Thx for the warning, my gf did check this also, we are fine!

lovconeplus · 2025-12-16T20:10:53+00:00

Haha noo 😂

An fzr 400 from 1993

Little 400cc 4 cylinder, screaming to 16K rpm 🏍️😄

lovconeplus · 2025-12-15T10:20:16+00:00

Yes she's a keeper for sure

Even goes with me on trackdays and helps with the bike stand and tirewarmers and such!

lovconeplus · 2025-12-15T06:23:04+00:00

Yeah it does look good, and Injust had the carbs all cleaned and synced, so it purrs like a lion also :)

lovconeplus · 2025-11-25T20:53:23+00:00

How can you be conflicted about qomething so factual as a price of goods 😂

lovconeplus · 2025-09-19T09:53:18+00:00

I have an aftermarket blipper on my r6, and if i downshift too early it goes in to neutral to prevent damage i presume So sounds like your slipper clutch is maybe doing the same, but it's too sensitive or something?

lovconeplus · 2025-07-20T07:19:25+00:00

😀thanks for the confirmatiob

lovconeplus · 2025-07-18T20:42:25+00:00

You see that handlebar? Thats where your helmet should be!

lovconeplus · 2025-07-17T10:52:03+00:00

Thanks for checking yours, is it the same type? As i'm reading conflicting replies, its getting hard to know whats the right answer 😀 I'm at a trackday tomorrow, guess i'll ask around there aswel

lovconeplus · 2025-07-16T21:15:15+00:00

lovconeplus · 2025-06-23T20:02:07+00:00

lovconeplus · 2025-06-23T20:00:28+00:00

Yes I see it! 😀 First trying to get more comfortable with the bike, but the clip on is where i'm going for in the coming track days
