Want to buy R6 but...

Ytse Frobozz · August 19th, 2014, 10:31 AM

...I haven't crashed yet. Can I still buy one, or do I have to crash first? If I have to crash first, can it be on purpose or does that not count?

Hurm, this is a good question....

subxero · August 19th, 2014, 11:14 AM

you can buy an R6 any time you want, but if you want to upgrade to an R6 you have to crash first

This is how I did it.

alex.s · August 19th, 2014, 12:47 PM

instructions:

in first gear, sitting on the passenger seat or as far back as you can, go wide open throttle... once it starts bouncing on the rev limiter dump the clutch. caution: do not aim at self.

I like this explanation.

Ninja Bob · August 19th, 2014, 04:52 PM

Roll up behind a car at blinding speeds of 3mph and... *bump*

"Whelp, guess I gotta upgrade to an R6..."

snot · August 19th, 2014, 05:04 PM

Do it with class.... crash on the track...or I can do it for you.

choneofakind · August 19th, 2014, 05:18 PM

Tell you what. You can have my R6. I've crashed, but unless I win the lotto or have a serious lapse in judgement, I'm not buying one. Take mine! I crash, you profit.

choneofakind · August 19th, 2014, 05:19 PM

On that thought, can we start awarding R6 credits in crash threads instead of marking posts as helpful? Crash thread with the most R6 credits has to buy one.

NevadaWolf · August 19th, 2014, 05:26 PM

I like that idea. The more epic the crash, the more points awarded!

choneofakind · August 19th, 2014, 06:00 PM

Shoot. We can't do that. Jiggles has already won with his post crash drug induced silliness.

We could make some exceptions.
Like excessive crashing....

mr2peak · August 21st, 2014, 08:07 PM

Might not be a bad idea to learn how to low-side correctly before getting flipped on an R6..

TnNinjaGirl · August 22nd, 2014, 08:54 AM

You can buy an r6 now if you want. HOWEVER, you need to wait until you crash to buy an r1.

Soujyu · August 22nd, 2014, 07:05 PM

It doesn't matter. I believe that the "first 6 months of riding" rule gets reapplied every time you get a new bike.

EsrTek · August 23rd, 2014, 04:37 AM

Crash = R6
No Crash = Busa

this also applies the first 2 weeks after the winter thaw, I'm noob-tastic making the muscles "learn" again after snoozing all winter long.

Sirref · August 23rd, 2014, 11:38 AM

I have 1,2,3...4...5 r6 credits............

you can have one if you want

nickjpass · August 23rd, 2014, 12:30 PM

You can lay her down but only if you slide under the trailer of an 18 wheeler. Don't die.

csmith12 · August 23rd, 2014, 01:09 PM

Jeezzz... Just take a belt sander to the fairings. WIN! And save the crashing part for like.... never.
