Awww yeah!!

jdoucet93 · March 23rd, 2012, 09:51 AM

Sooo... I went back to the dealer that had the cbr600rr that I wanted so badly, and right as I got there, there was a guy riding off on it. So I felt pretty crappy but as I thought about it a little more, I realized that the bike that I really, reallyyyyy wanted was an 09 R6. So I went down to our local yami dealer just to see what was in my price range. Saw a couple of decent bikes but nothing that really caught my eye. And then... I saw her, Sitting in the corner next to a couple of older sisters of hers. A beautiful 2009 R6 Raven. Only one problem now, the price... They were asking $9000 for a bike with 11000 miles on it!!! So a salesman walks over and we start talking. Well, very long story short, after a few walkouts, I end up getting the bike for $6000 OTD and they ordered me a brand new rear tire! She's such a beauty.

Oh, yeah, and it's LOUD!

And now... Since I'm not going to be @nickjpass (jk love you buddy)

PICTURES!!!

R6 is > CBR600rr

It was quite funny, when the guy that bought the CBR went to leave, the bike refused to start. Then the battery died. haha

By the way, @Gurk, do you by any chance know what the factory gearing is? I know the rear sprocket and chain are aftermarket. But I'm not sure if they're the same as stock.

csmith12 · March 23rd, 2012, 10:45 AM

stock is 16/45 with a 525 pitch

csmith12 · March 23rd, 2012, 10:49 AM

I think it might already have it. I'll check when I get off work. I also think the speedo might be off quite a bit.

Yea... if it has it, you will need a speedo healer. I just learned to live with it on my R6.

I could get used to it... If I knew exactly how off it was. and the cops around here are crazy about speeders. I've been stopped for going 49 in a 45. So I think the speedo healer is going to be the way to go for me.

Well, the bike had been on their lot for over 6 months. They just wanted too much for it. So I played some hard ball with them. And got what I wanted.

I'm only 5'6" and I can firmly plant the balls of my feet on the ground. Not quite flat foot. But close enough for me.

Time to get a real exhaust instead of that GP-style. No wonder it's loud: Might as well be an open pipe (is it?)!

haha never! I love the sound of it! And yes, it's completely open. Aftermarket headers (stock yamaha headers have screens in each pipe to control noise and add back pressure) t-tuner midpipe, and the gp1 tip. The only way to possibly make this thing louder would be to just run open headers.

jdoucet93 · March 23rd, 2012, 11:58 PM

Here's the exhaust video. youtube is having some issues right now...

Make sure you watch in HD

And unless you're lazy, just watch it on youtube, the quality is much better there.

Well, the bike has been in their showroom since before I bought my ninja. And the salesman that I talked to was kind of at the point where he wanted to be the one to make the deal on this bike. So I did some homework and I came back. I reminded him multiple times how long the bike had been there. And I left 5 or six times and he called me back every time. Finally I had him down to $6500 so we went out and I pointed out every single tiny little problem with the bike. Everything from the fact that it desperately needs a new tire to the tiny little spots where the gold had chipped a little bit on the grips. And eventually they came down and we agreed on $6000 OTD with a new rear tire.

Oh and it does help that I used to be good friends with the guy that used to own this bike. And he sold it to them so he would have money to start skydiving. And they only gave him $4000 for it

CZroe · March 24th, 2012, 09:36 AM

You should've just made him sell it to you and split the difference.
