For example... did you know?
1. Want a quickshifter? 06r6 has a built in quickshifter!!! Disabled by the factory ecu.
Skip the 1k kit and just buy the shift rod clicker & cable for $200 or so.
2. Want a gear indicator? 06r6 has a built in gear indicator!!! Disabled by the factory ecu.
The dash can be configured for speedo or gear
3. Want to skip the bizzaz or pc all together? Buy the ecu to usb cable and you can adjust the fuel map, timing and set the redline limit as you see fit without aftermarket boxes.
4. Want a speedo healer? Why? You can adjust the speedo, gear ratio and various other speed related params in the factory ecu to get a correct speed on the dash.
5. Want to reduce engine braking? Yep, that can be tweaked too but BEWARE on this one though... Riders use the crap outta engine braking and another subtle thing about riding.
There is a local gent to me that knows his stuff about flashing the factory ECU to be wise with your $$$$. Riders are raving about the new 2015 R1 and all the electronics that it comes with, but imho... yami has been building up to that for their bikes for years.
Here is an interesting link for you Mr. Fist.

Play your cards right and the r6 is a beast for very cheap when ridden well and playing to its strengths. And the reason most of the race winning riders threw a leg over a yami becomes clearer. Given 2 equal riders, the 2nd place rider was defeated by math. It's subtle like that.
EDIT: There will be a courting/mating period, where the rider and bike get used to each other. But once the rider figures out where the bike performs, they find it's not the easiest bike to ride. Keep the rpms up at all costs or it goes flatlined and then it wakes up very grumpy and aggressive, much like a high strung 2 stroke powerband.
