Hey guys, I know there a few (to say the least) that ride sport bikes on here and I really respect everyones opinions (for the most part I think this board gets some of the best info on the 'net).
I'm looking at getting a 2003 YZF-R6 (blue & silver combo like my GA!). The bike looks exactly like this, except the black is silver and flames are blue...

I put the IMG tags in but it isn't working so just click on the link.
The guy at the place I am going to buy it from (if I buy) is giving me a pretty good deal on it, and especially with the 3.9% financing right now from Yamaha, it's a pretty good deal.
Only reason I was looking at this is my friend is thinking about getting a Yamaha 660R Raptor, and between the two of us (maybe three as his brother might get either a bike or quad).
I was wondering if anyone has heard good/bad on the R6 or what?! It might end up with me getting a Raptor as well so we can all go out and have fun at the track...but who knows.
There is a possibility that we might go Honda (bike or quads) because my friends know a guy at the local honda dealer (bikes not cars ;))
It won't be happening real soon (especially since I'm unemployed) but the spring/summer fever is getting to all of us and I could see use getting something here within the next couple months.
Any tips/tricks/secrets, would be very much appreciated.
Like I said, at this moment, only looking......but it's sooooooooooo tempting. Especially since I've not bought a bike before, any and all info is appreciated!
