Just purchased a new bike!

Just been to see this little beauty, liked it and put down a deposit. Pick it up tomorrow!

12000 miles, small scuff on front mudguard and the rear can needs a bit of TLC with the old autoglym (tiny white spots which I think is oxidation...has a tail tidy on the back but other than that bog stock.

Cheers, remal. A bit of a bargain too (IMHO) at £2700.

Where in the SW are you, I am from that part of the world originally (Taunton).

Cracking bike the R6; I had a '99 version.. First properly rapid bike I owned

Lovely machine, but watch out because to get any sort of response out of it you have to cain it - which means uber quick speeds before you know it.... it's a very hard bike to ride slowly..

btw - that's one massive can on it!

I just sold a 2007 CBR600RR so yep I know how silly these things are!

Wanted something a little more comfy and that was off the depreciation curve, don't ride enough to justify such an expensive bike and it's a bit uncomfy when I am instructing (volunteer with the learners y'see).

Only had a quick ride so far but it is as torquey (if not a touch more) than the CBR, up to 6k. Literally only rode it to the end of the guy's road and back.

ETA: Does anyone know if the 03 R6 is carb or fuel injection?

2002 was last of the carbs, so providing that you haven't got a late registered one it will be injection.

can't find a link to prove that though
