I _looove_ the side profile on the bike, and the tail section, but I cannot turn myself to stand to look at the front of any 2003+ Yamaha. If they made a different upper fairing for it, I’d be on an R6 by now. ---

Personally I love the front end as opposed to the other makes. The R6 resembles and insect where are the others are alien like, lol. If that makes any sense. Of course the side/ass shot it sexay as well. ---

Lose the reflectors on the front forks, should just spin right off taking you ~54 seconds. Flush mounts next FTW. Smack Yamaha and every other manufacturer for cheaping out on powder coat matching the kickstand, rear sets and passenger foot pegs. Once you get that done, the bike will look badass.
