New member, Hello

Post by Scottmurray2890 »

Just saying hi, ended up here from Mikes Velox Racing website. Had a lurk about seems like a good place to be.

I'm Scott from Scotland, not long switched to an R6 2CO from a CBR600rr. The CBR was half track half road bike but the Yamaha is strictly a track bike so giving up the roads this year.

Regular at Knockhill and will be doing every trackday I can make there this year, hopefully them all.

:-)

Hi mate,

I did the last trackday of the year at knockhill in October And completely wrecked it. That was the first time I was out on it so its getting rebuilt at the moment.

From the time I had comparing the two, R6 is quicker, smoother gearbox, slipper clutch is great.

Didn't provide as much feeling as the CBR and didn't steer as well but that can be changed with suspension adjustments, hopefully :-)

I'm a member on TDR but hoping to get more model specific information of here, being a yamaha forum.

Fit like Scott.
You'll enjoy the R6 round Knockhill.

Haha. Just read your post you put up as I typed my message.
Good luck getting the bike sorted out.
