So after the last three weeks nightmare ktm situation I took the bike back got my money and bought this.
2007 r6 with 12k on the clock.I was after one of these or a 675 but after sitting on a few triumphs I'm just too chunky for one. I looked like an ape on a monkey bike. So this will be taking over as my track bike for next season but for the rest of summer I'm just gonna use it as a road bike, get used to it and upgrade some bits as I go.
I also got a bit of cash back from the ktm so I'm going to order a clear screen, rear sets, hm quickshifter and some supercorsas. Trouble is I can't walk at the moment so I can't pick it up untill I.m better.

Cheers John. I'm gonna take it to a track to get it tested as soon as im fit. That little can is an akropovic with the cat still in place and it doesn't sound that loud but not sure what rpm theyl test these at, it also has a hole for a baffle but it doesn't have one with it so might be another option. It also came with a yoshimura can so I can try both and if not ill ask around what people use.

If the cat is still there you'll be fine. You won't pass the noise test as Castle Combe even with it stock though.You can go to a full system and still pass noise tests. My old R6 race bike used to coming out at 101-102db, tested at 6k IIRC.
Looks tidy though, and in the best colours.

Croft, Oulton and (Donington unless its a noisy day) are pretty strict on noise.
I have seen quite a few R6's and Fireblades fail the noise testing on TD's.
It's best to warn people so that there day doesn't get off to a bad start eh.

Tim was this you on your KTM?
Ha in my mind it was more like this
That ktm was the only bike at 6ft I've not been able to put both my feet down.
Not like this from the weekend. I'm the ape on the back. This was a surprisingly fun bike, although you were practically invisible on the road.

R6R's are pretty frikkin awesome IMO, with little mods required to be properly quick, but if you want to spend a bit more, complete weapon.
Always wanted one since Hobo (don't know if he still comes on BB) let me ride (and crash
) his, same colour as this.
