payment:
i plan on paying atleast twice as much on each payment i just like the 120 thing if i end up having money problems down the rode i have a nice little cusion to fall back on.

very nice bike. these things scream once you get 'em over 7k rpm! and once you put a full exhaust and a PC3 the front tire gets even lighter:thumbsup:
These bikes are def. tall, i'm 5'8" and can only touch the balls of my feet on both sides.
not sure why, but the anniversary bikes redline a bit higher

It has Nothing to do with the Aniversary edition , here is the story about a MISTAKE made by Yamaha and the R6....
Yamaha Offers to Buy Back New R6
yamaha has offered to buy back its latest crop of R6s which were marketed with an inaccurate tach redline of 17,500 rpm.
Well, it turns out that a streetbike engine revving to 17.5K is still nothing more than a dream. Independent dyno testing has revealed the R6's rev limiter kicks in shortly after hitting 16,000 rpm.
In response, [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL] has announced its error in that its tachometer reads about 9% too high, showing 17,500 on the tach but not in actuality.
The following is a release on [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL]'s website:
"[URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL] introduced and marketed the new 2006 YZF-R6 motorcycle with a red line limit of 17,500 rpm, as indicated on the tachometer. After testing production units, we have determined that the actual red line limit is approximately 16,000 rpm, resulting in a tachometer error of roughly 9%. This has no affect whatsoever on the performance of the motorcycle."
While the R6's performance remains, there may be some buyers who bought an R6 in part because of its racy redline. For those people, [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL] has sent out letters to all R6 purchasers offering to buy back their bikes (plus interest) if they are dissatisfied.
"We decided we'd better do the right thing and step up and put our money where our mouth is," explained [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL] Motor Corp's press relations manager Brad Banister.
The R6 buy-back follows a similar precedent set in the car world when Mazda offered to buy 2004 RX-8s from owners once the claimed 247 hp of the manual transmission version was found to actually measure at 238 ponies. Automatics were downgraded 10 hp to 197. The difference here is that Mazda was forced to make this offer, while [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL] is doing it voluntarily.
"It's an unprecedented thing in the industry," Banister added, "and it shows how committed [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL] is to customer satisfaction."
In fact, this over-clocking of factory tachometers has been going on for some time. [URL="http://www.cmsnl.com/search.php?model_id=8287"]yamaha[/URL]'s previous R6 was claimed to rev until 15,500 rpm, but our dyno testing proved that it hits its redline prior to 15K.
