Picked it up this morning.

Yamaha R6, 2000 W reg, 3000 miles from new!!!

It's immaculate, so chuffed with it! Standard bike apart from Pyramid rear hugger and undertray, tail tidy with mini indicators and the daft grab rail!










Already got a Scorpion stubby carbon exhaust and R&G hanger on order. Plans are to get rid of the grab rail, remove rear pegs, remove 'YZF' decals (make it look dated) and clear indi's front and rear.

Looking for a 2002 undertray with twin LED rear lights so if anybody can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Only eBay pics at the mo as it started snowing on the way home

Roll on summer!

R6 =


you will have lots of fun on that, and make sure you open it up to redline, and really feel the power. do it in either 2nd or 3rd

Ebay is usually the best place for undertray and lights. Might find a set in the breakers. Or sign up to R6messagenet and see if any are for sale.

Looks mint and only 3000 miles as well . Take it easy

I miss mine

Fair bit yeah, sold it last year and the new owner is selling it on again. Think it's on piston heads at the moment. Enjoy yours, should keep you happy for awhile. Keep an eye on the 2nd gear change and battery as well. Batteries have been known to leak so you might wan't to get a newer one soon anyway. Dog bone gear seletor spring did cause problems on some earlier models. You just can buy a stronger spring for it.

No baffle though so might be a bit loud If so I'll look into a universal baffle.

What does a steering damper do? I've seen one fitted to a few bikes.
