Impreza was faster right??......
Well joking aside it IS. I had a 900cc Ninja...ride your R6 in the wet, and see how fast it can be ridden!....baring in mind it rains or is wet 250+ days a year...Also wait till you have (and you will have) your first near miss...lock a rear brake, or similar. You will beg for proper braking and 4 wheels. Enjoy it, but do so with SERIOUS caution. Nice bike of course BTW.
Oh as i listento the tree's blowing around, high winds are another interesting situation on a bike at any sort of speed....bare it in mind mate

I've got a R6 too - I love it . On the right road, in the right conditions when I am in the right mood it's awesome .... but for the other 364 days of the year the Scooby makes more sense and is proper 'day to day' quick. Done a few track days on the Yam - well worth the money - you can explore the limits of your bike without worrying about pot holes, OAPs who pull out in front of you and fat truckers spilling diesel everywhere !!! Ride safe mate and presume that everyone IS out to get you !

had ex race school r6 about 4 years back cracking piece of kit. had few other bikes since but id pick the scooby any day hands down, a nice twisty back road lots more fun, and more chance of still being alive at the and.

Plus the fact that when I had my scooby I could go around this corner near my house at about 90 now on the R6 cuz I'm getting use to it I can't even get over 50.
But I am a new rider once I get experiences then it will be good

To be honest with you I wouldn't have one only because of the pure power of them my R6 is to fast for me at the moment lol. The hayabusa's is one lovely looking bike though.
The chain and spocket looks like something off a jcb lol they must be powerful

Its alittle more than a 100 horsepower, so your scoob had 200 I should hope so being 2000cc TURBO all I have is 600cc at 120bhp so basically if I put 2 together it would make a 1200cc that would have 240bhp NON turbo lmao

Bit of a ****-take really, I know all about power/weight ratios etc.
Just makes me smile when bikers shout about "the power!" I think they mean, "The power-to-weight-ratio!"
Stay safe.

Same here I have got a 2007 GSXR 1000 and a 2005 Blobeye STi..
Cant compare them though.. They are just 2 completly different vehicles, i wouldnt prefer one to the other.
On the plus side though I am only 26 and pay less than £1000 in insurance premiums combined..
