          ohhh yess... this baby heats up really fast...if your not going 70-80km/hr its gonna heat up...the worst part is if your stuck on a jam on the highways, VERY SLOW stop starts, and you cant do anything about it, its probably easier to push the bike. Most of my rides ive come back with slightly hotter legs than usual literally lol

                    One of my neighbors had an accident on his 05 R6. Thankfully he didnt have any broken bones, just some minor road rash. The dahm aunties here might be hot but have less road sense than my 10yr old brother. She apparently just moved into his lane without checking her blind spot and boom. There weren't any frame sliders on the bike so the plastics were just gone. The right handle bar, GONE. Mirrors cracked, ALL of the right side is just scratched to hell, makes me feel good about putting frame sliders. His insurance wont be happy, but hes suing the lady who hit him, so all might be fine at the end, sort of. Have a look.



















                    And finally this me looking bond as always in full desi slippers. LOL jk. Please don't flame me about not wearing anything, i just walked the bike outside of my garage to add my frame sliders.





                    Yes, I am fully Indian.

                      whoaaaaa that crash looks nasty....!! The bike is even bleeding!! You're friend is lucky to have escaped with rashes.... thanks to his riding grear. You are right man... on these fared babies.... frame sliders are a necessity... or else, some hot aunty is gonna come banging in and say Hi

                      Well, it's nice to see you in a desi avatar.... but don't ride in your shorts on that bike.... lots of air flow in and out
                      Twist your wrist and feel the shift!!

                          @ rwanchu- Lol... Aunties are probably the primary reason for male accidents. Had a nice set of pictures for the same...


                          You look good. Just an airgun/hairdryer and the Bond look is complete!
                          You get the point?? :D

                                The R6 is definitely taller than the 600RR and GSXR600.
                                It can be lowered. I know of people not taller than 5 feet riding R6 s.
                                But remember to get the suspension professionally set up for your height if you do end up lowering it.
