The looks alone keep me on the R6... Sickest bike out there for sure!

Now this is a review, man. People who actually rode the bike full time, know everything about it. The spare key info was very important to me, and I appreciate that tip. Thanks a lot, man!

what you talked about the seat profile on the R6 is very true and often not mentioned in reviews. it does make the bike feel higher than it really is.

Great detailed comparison. You make a great case for each bike. Beautiful examples- love the murdered out look.

Great job explaining these bikes in a real world comparison. It's awesome to hear that from people who actually spend time riding the bikes. Ride safe!!

I just got a 2004 R1 yesterday. Picked her up & rode her back home, 2 hour ride and loved it so much. First time riding a 1000cc bike. I’ve owned 250cc & 2x 600cc. I’ll never go back. 1000cc all the way baby!! Great video brother, greetings from Australia. Ride safe.

Awesome video man. Very well put together and helped me make my decision a lot better. Wishing you the best!

I have to show appreciation for mentioning your thoughts on people who are experienced riding dirt bikes, moving onto a liter bike. This is one of the only videos I've watched that discusses that perspective, and it helps me personally as well.

The R6 looks like a weapon. The power of the R1 is appealing but the way the R6 creeps on the power when you start getting the revs high is addicting

One of the best Bike comparison videos I've ever seen well done, awesome wheelies 😂

This has been such an important video for me. I have been riding a 250cc for almost 2 years now and am ready to upgrade. These are two of my favorite options so this is a useful comparison. Thanks for the video.

"you dont think 40-50 pounds is a lot" me sitting here watching the video as a 6'6 320 pound guy, damn i gotta go on a diet lmao

You're a legend, dude. Please Post more such videos

Yeah I had my R1 lowered to be able to flat foot her comfortably...Cool video...We need more uploads, BrO! 🤘

Thanks! My favourite bike from 600cc and 1000cc. R6 is very beautiful, cool in driving, but r1 is monster.

Excellent comparison and review! Subscribed good sir!

gotta appreciate the colour scheme on that r6 fr!

R1 Has ALWAYS been king! R6s are great but R1 is something else!! Legends

The R6 might feel lighter because of the shorter wheel base and your not leaning over it.as much as the R1, but still the R1 is pound for pound king

Hi Jt2jz, u made such a simple n informative video, I think u should create a separate channel for Motorbike content. Such on point info, which is hard to find. loved it. U will have great success.......... If u keep it up.

Cool video man and very helpful 👍🏼

Bro keep going on Nice review.. Love from Bangladesh

This video is so nice..from Romania More like this

Hey bud thx for the side by side comparison. I have an 06 R1 as well and would love to know which high beam bulbs your running. Thx in advance.

I wish I saw this sooner. Owned a 6 for years and thinking of upgrading. Slated to buy a 1 used in ~2 weeks. This was very helpful, thank you!! Mind if I PM you next week with any last minute questions I may have?

This was really helpful. After seeing this is think im gonna try for something like gsxr750, a nice middle road. My biggest problem rn though is that as you said, litre bikes are somehow cheaper.

Great review I liked it. The only thing I dident like was comparing looks and such, I get comparing mechanical things and such to and extent. But if I was to compare and 1990’s bike to a newer 2020+ version… then… yea you get the point. I know their only 3 years apart BUT they did change the looks in between z just sayn!! Still really enjoyed the video thanks!!!

I have an 02 R1 with a D&D slip on exhaust, power Comander, slipper clutch, lowering kit, I bought it 2nd hand so I don't remember all the specific upgrades but it is insanely fast. My buddy has an 03 R6 same type of upgrades we've swapped bikes on rides and in city riding the R6 is better to ride because the R1 just wants to go. In first gear with no throttle the R1 idles at about 25mph the R6 dosen't really have any power till you get past 4000rpms. On the highway the R1 is king it has insane tourqe and speed at low RPMS you don't have to hammer on the R1 the power is there through out the rpm range. Handling I haven't noticed that big of a difference in handling maybe because my suspension isn't stock. The only problem I had with my R1 is cross winds on the highway I was getting blown all over the road, but the rear tire was at 25psi I put at 35psi no more floating in the crosswinds. My only complaint with both the R6 and R1 is they are not comfortable on long rides. My Ninja 500r way more comfortable on long rides and my ZX6R (636) is extremely comfortable and I think it's faster then the R6. The R1 has low beams on both sides and highbeams on both sides. As far as ignition replacement you can get an ignition, Gas tank lock and seat lock on Ebay for under $60 for the R6 or the R1. My R1 came with a plain steel key. I bought a 3pack of blank yamaha keys red, blue, and black on Amazon for like $20 and had HomeDepot cut me a spare.

Got a 13 R1, by far my fav generation R1.

Very helpful,thank you👍

I drive the Fazer 1000 (2002) first edition an Amazing very comfortable, very fast bike.0-100km/t 3.5 sek. Max.Enoughf for me 66year old Guy. Thank you for one of the Best video i have seen. Drive carefully, you got only 1 life❤👋 Frank Larsen Denmark

But that race with the Supra at the end I thought I heard that Stu Stu Stu in that first clip there 😂🤯🤯

Awesome video my friend. I'm currently looking to buy an R1. Blessings from UK

I got a 2008 R1, still to this day it scares the shit out of me😨💪💪

Any differences in terms of passenger comfort? I know we're talking about sport bikes, but my gf rides a lot with me so I'm hesitating between the two, R6 vs R1 Crossplane. Thanks and great vids btw!

I have the same generation R1 04/06 and a 16 R6 and with proper setup this gen R1 can turn in like no other to the point my R1 out turns my R6 but I have yet to set up the R6 and am fairly certain this will change. That said a well set up R1 with Bridgestones latest DOT race rubber is unbelievable!!!! Something about the Bridgestone front it turns in like no other.

They look great together in black 🏁🏁

Good review.👍

Great video. Thank you.

Question. I currently ride a Honda crf450r and I’m planning on switching to a street. I’m currently looking at the r6 but I’m wondering If I’ll get bored quick since it’s just a couple cc up from a 450. Should I just go with an r1?

I’m so glad i found your channel man I’m soon planning on getting a 08 up r6 This video was od informative

You Have the Badass bike dude. 💪🏼💪🏼

Hello, I’m a new rider, my dad recently passed away and he left his r1 but I’ve never rode a motorcycle before and I’m pretty scared to even touch the bike, is there any tips you could give to me as a new rider or advice when learning

God damn the ending with the Supra was clean

i miss my 09 R6 so much :'( cant wait to get my full licence so i can get it or even upgrade to a 1000cc

When you were talking about the r6 you said "almost perfect sound" I'm looking super intensly for the perfect deep sound with the just perfect tune, any recommendations?

If I could get your opinion on this I’m looking at a 2007 R6 5k miles for $6.5k and a 2008 r1 10k miles for $7k I had a 600 for a year it was a Gsxr so totally different which one should I go fo

Hey man. Question. I’m a bigger guy. Pushing 300lb, 5’11, I’ve wanted an R6 for so long, would I lose all it’s power given the weight?

Hey I got a questioon for yah! So I’m a 5’7 male and was wondering if I would be able to flat foot either of these bikes? Or if I would even be able to touch the ground lol. Sorry if this is a dumb question

R1 every time dude. 'Black' keys can be cloned now at key cutting stores. No major drama if you lose the red one anymore 👍

Great Video!! Motorcycles are modern funtastic horseees!! Geeeeeed eeeee up!!🤩🇺🇸👍

Your video has much more information that I was looking for than in that so called expert 'Yammie Noob' or so.

hey, I’m looking at a 2016 r6 w/ a power commander and other stuff for $7k, it has 15k miles and hasn’t been rode in 3 months..would this be a good buy or do you think it has issues? Thanks!

Im 5'7 could i reach on the r6 u think ? Or feels weird to say , should be the other way around, i must go for the bigger boy ?

I'll be starting the riding courses soon ; I'm planning to buy a ninja 300 or the R3 for 1 - 2 years ; But that R6 is on my list for the near future after that

R6 yep ive had boath ive tought track for around 20 years now and id still pick the R6 everyday of the week

20:25 the bang from the supra.. damn. imagine having those bangs on the bike 😂

my 03 r6 was the bees knees. my 06 r1 saved my life in high speed turns

i love your bike brother 👌

Color of bikes is awesome

Would the r6 be a good starter bike I’m looking into joining the biker world

hey man can you do a comparison between the R6 and the R1 2012 that you recently bought please

nice vid : )

I’m in current negotiations with a guy that is selling his Yamaha R6 2008 with 15,000 miles on it for $5500. The bike has been taken care of from what I can see and it still has the original fairings and mechanics. Only things modified are the exhaust, HID lights, levers, etc. Anyways my question is, would that be a good buy for year 2021 or is that a bad choice? I do think the price is too steep and I offered $4500 cash in the spot for it (which he is thinking about). What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance for the reply.

Is that r6 a crossplane engine? I know that r1 isn't. How's the difference between the 2 engines. I know there different sizes but how's the power band on the r6?

An R1 will be my next bike but I’ll be keeping my R6 as well!

R1 looks way better...still today its a beauty. I love my red RN12

Thanks for the insights........R6 it is then

I came here in ny bought a 2020 mt09 bnew after 1 yr and 3 mnths it got stolen on june 1st 2022. So now im browsing and made a deal of a 2004 r1 cherry with a very good deal.

Damn that key information was very depressing, I didn’t know how bad my situation was , worst part is this one black key I got came from the dealership, was sold the bike never even knowing about a “red” key , I thought “one key is fine I can always get a copy made” 🤦‍♂️

Both Vicious

In my opinion, r6 all day perfect for the road, R1 track days for the power it has.

I've never cared about 600's . Use to own a 750. Wished I would have bought bigger instead.

nice vid

r6 is the sickest looking bike to me, after that my favorite looking bike is cbr600rr

We all love to tame a beast which is the r1. I feel like the r6 is way too aggressive than the r1 correct me of im wrong

Bro I just come across your video like right now for the first time and I will tell you right now if you were to ask me that face-to-face especially with the two that I'm looking at right now do you have floored me right now just what the two you got on my God so sick bro so sick

is that ticking sound at idle normal cause I got same bike and mine does it, probably just paranoid just want to know if my bike runs perfect

I love my rsexxy 06 blue and 09 raven black compare to my murdered out 07 r1... I sold my 07 r1 dont really like the looks but kept my 06 and 09 rsexxy...its called rsexxy for a reason... now they are discontinued and I had it sent to the Philippines...I will always keep my r6 I might just get the 2021 for that matter. Good comparison.. Ride safe bro.

short rider here. two bikes priced at 4000, 12k mile r6 or 17k mile r1. both are 06 which one should I buy??

I normally hear the R6 is more track oriented and the R1 is better on the street and less of a track weapon.

Would they be good for a starter? like the first bike ever?

600 is great if you get it new. second hand you are buying a bike that has been thrashed by some other hoon and maybe asking for trouble. I love both bikes and that is why I have an FZ1 gen 2. No bow leggedness on the fizzy. Nothing but comfort and wanting to ride all day long.

I love the R1 but u can use the power more on the R6

The R1 is good on height way ,but R6 is good inside city

Much more power in the R1, the R6 screams more and you have to use the gears more, gets tiring after a while and you have to have more rpms to get the power. I have 2 R1s and 2 Honda Vfr 750/800 and prefer the riding style of the VFRs and better for cruising, but the power in the R1s are great.

When did they stop that whole key security system thing cuz my 2014 r6 doesn't even have a key light 🤔

You think I could start on the r6? after a MSF course ofc

Get the 1 unless u don’t need top end speed

is 5 ft 7 good on these bikes?

You can’t buy a generic ignition key set?

R6…no doubt..unless you weight over 200lbs..or 2013 cross plane R1.

Can't imagine how fast the Supra is!!!!

20:24 : that was so sick especially with the supra

Both bikes full of fluids are not 40-50lbs different in weight. Both bikes full of fluids are 5-10lbs difference.

So I owned a 2009 R6 and I’m torn between going back to it or going up to the R1

Great video but... in a close track R6 makes better lap times due to short wheelbase and those 110hp only. This is what my friends say. But on the road... 110hp are not enough!!! R1's 180hp are way more fun and you can use only 110 if you like. So, would you buy an 110hp better for track or an 180hp 1:1 power to weigh ratio R1?? And yes, if you are not an expert rider just keep it calm with those 180hp. Don't use them all. Use only half... R1 will definitely keep your adrenaline in the red zone always!! R6... just for the first month when you learn it...

The R1 is literally a street legal MotoGP bike when you get them unrestricted. The R6 is the chilled out little brother that gets fist bumped by its older brothers friends lol

Which is the louder on high revs

Need to gold those foot pegs bc those silvers just throw off the look
