About the Bike
This perfect condition 2001 R6 has been babied its entire life; always covered or garaged… this beautiful bike has always turned heads. With only 5,700 miles this bike has barely been broken in. All the miles are gentle; with no tricks or stunts ever performed on the bike… it has also never been raced. The bike comes with the cover, the original tool kit and manual.
I am selling for a couple of reasons… I don’t ride enough to warrant keeping it, and I will be moving shortly and would rather unload it now. I also have a black HJC small passenger helmet that has only been worn 6 times, which I would like to get rid of.

Rosamond, California, December 7, 2000 -- It's time to thank the technology gods - and invest in a healthy array of boxer briefs - since it's now become far simpler to scare yourself into a soiled frenzy: Just get yourself a 2001 Yamaha R6. Wicked fast with sky-high revs and quick -- one shake shy of twitchy -- handling, this bike is a track monster and street sweeper rolled into a tight, 600cc package.
