Nothfx's R6 and Cobalt

Post by nothfx »

I hadn't yet posted up any pics, so I figured this was the time! This link should be public for everyone (tested it when I was completely logged out). If anyone has trouble just let me know and I'll see about getting them uploaded somewhere else.

when are you getting an exhaust for the R6. stock muffler is pretty much as big as the rest of the bike, its just out there, making that side of the bike look weird

The exhaust isn't stock - "Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing" .... like TRD

Also, The slobalt has served me well! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a well priced small car... it's just not as fun as the R6 :P. Hasn't had a single problem in the year I've had it.

looked like stock R6 exhaust in your avatar pic. either way that muffler is still ridiculously huge.

Chris, R6s are a raw beast. take a CBR 600, the power is smooth and the powerband is predictable thru the rpm range. now take and R6 and its kinda dead down low but then you uncork it and its like holy shit whered this power come from.

its easy to see why everyone likes bikes. take a real fast car, like an 11 second car. it will take it 1/4 mile to get from standstill to 120. a modern 600 will get to 120 in like 300 feet. well maybe not 300 feet but they are still ridiculous fast. think of how much horsepower youd have to have in a car to be able to pop a wheelie on the highway.

Yep, had it for less than a month now (My license). Didn't want to start with something this big, but I got a good deal on it

The thing that's great about them is that they're crazy fun to drive - it's really hard to describe unless you've been on one for a while. Not only that they're an extremely cheap way to go really fast.. to get the same performance with a car you pay 5x as much

I didn't like the exhaust before I got used to it (not really into making things louder), but when you wind it up above 10k, the exhaust note is just amazing. There's no other way to describe it. I haven't heard the stock one irl, but I haven't really heard anything good about it

Next mod is definitely going to be a power commander... but that's gonna be next spring :/
