I think that looks soooo much better in black.....
If I bought another 6R, I would so have to paint it black or replace all the body work in bare carbon fibre _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

I like the way the pipes look kicked up into the seat unit. Much nicer then standard, just wary again about polished frame, paint job, no bar ends, no mirrors, scrapes on carbon etc. Right price though it could be well worth a look at. _________________ Pomps

Mirrors are included and als a license plate holder.
I love the colour scheme and i am big fan of the polished frame.
The top and lower fairing are both carbon fiber so i only
Need to replace the left and right "main fairing" something for the future.
I also saw that the rear disc doesn't look pretty so i think someone
Was too lazy to replace the brake pads.
The fluid i did not see, so thanx for that!
The owner says the bike has not seen the track... I am not sure about that.. No blinker, no mirrors and i have seen some pictures with a number on the tail end.
Anyway i am not into assuming things, so i have to check
That out when i am
There ( which is not easy to
See from the outside but that's another thing).
Looking forward to it, _________________ Ducati 750 SS café racer, BMW R nine T Cafe Racer, Husqvarna Vitpilen, KTM Rc8, Husqvarna Vitpilen 701, Bimota DB6 |

A good indication of it being a race bike is everything being drilled and lock-wired, especially the sump plug
Looks like it's been stripped for the track to me but at the right price, that wouldn't be of concern to me as long as it rides OK _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)

I agree. Dont be put off by track use, at least people look after their bikes if they intend to push them on a track, and the amount of track dayers now means more and more bikes have seen some time going around in circles bumping of the rev limiter
Its the first time I have seen a 6r I would own for sure. _________________ Pomps

Make sure you get the rear hugger.
not sure about track use, the brakes are standard _________________ Don't read everything you believe |
