Black and red 2007 R6 Second owner 6 speed Dual Disc front brakes 4-stroke 599cc. The yamaha YZF-R6 was introduced in 1999 as the super sport version of Yamaha's Yamaha YZF-R1 super bike and as a companion to the more street-oriented Yamaha YZF600R sport bike which continued to be sold alongside the R6. The motorcycle featured Yamaha's completely new engine design capable of producing over 108 hp while stationary. The R6 was the world's first 600cc production four-stroke motorcycle producing over 100 hpin stock form. The YZF-R6 has been revised several times since its introduction. Starting with the 2002 model the R6 became fuel-injected. The 2006 model year was a significant upgrade with a new engine management system featuring the YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and a multi-plate slipper clutch. The 2008 model incorporated the YCC-I variable-length intake system to optimize power at high engine rpm and an improved Deltabox frame design. In 2006 Yamaha advertised that the R6 had a red-line of 17500 rpm. This is 2000 rpm higher than the previous R6 model and was the highest tachometer red-line of any 2006 production four-stroke motorcycle engine. It was widely reported[by whom?] that the 2006 YZF-R6's motor did not actually have this engine rpm red-line level and was closer to around 16200 rpm but because of a deliberate tachometer error of about 8 percent it read 17500 rpm on the tachometer. In February 2006 Yamaha admitted the bike's true engine red-line was more than 1000 rpm lower than displayed on the tachometer and previously advertisedand offered to buy back any R6 if the customer was unhappy. I am the second owner of the bike bought it about 6 months ago from a guy who babied it as much as I have. with the exception of one minor crack on the lower part of black fairing where a screw was tightents too tight this bike is flawless. No scratches no nothing. It looks like I just bought it off the lot! And the candy red paint is the most stunning I have ever seen. This bike has been taken excellent care of and runs perfect. Full synthetic oil changes every 3000 miles as well as all the other regular maintenance. Never been dropped and no other damage(other than the crack mentioned). The sound that the headers/exhaust put out are incredible I gaurantee you will not find a louder cleaner sounding 600. Aftermarket accessories: -Dark puig windshield -Red adjustable vortex levers -Fender eliminator -Frame sliders -Rear spools -Michelin pilot power 2ct tires w/plenty of tread -Exup servo eliminator -MJ's race headers -GYTR exhaust -Fully mapped power commander III Comes with two keys manual rear seat cowel and passenger seat and whatever else you need.

Purchased this bike in 2006 and drove it 3X. The bike is presently not running. I rode it 2X after this and then got the fear of god in me when I saw someone wipe out on a motorcycle in front of me. One part of the bike is removed as per pics and basically been sitting since then. It's got a full tank of gas, needs a battery and it is clogged and needs an engine flush. Needs a taillight. The electrical needs to be connected to the gauges. Nothing major! The Yamaha FZR600 is a sports motorcycle produced by Yamaha between 1989 and 1999. It was the successor to the FZ600 and was replaced by the YZF-600R It had a steel Deltabox frame and swingarm, similar in appearance to the alloy Deltabox frame introduced three years earlier on the 1WG FZR400. The FZR600 was discontinued in 1999 due to age of the design and the competing 600 cc sportbike offerings from Yamaha: The YZF 600R and YZF R6 The 4 Valve Yamaha FZR600 engine was slanted forward in the frame. This was the basis of the Genesis frame concept, and helped to lower the centre of gravity and help centralise mass. This layout allowed the real fuel tank to sit behind the cylinders, low between the frame rails, and further aided with lowering the centre of gravity. Forward of this sat the airbox, which four 32 mm Mikuni downdraft carburettors, and all these assemblies were covered by a plastic cover dummy petrol tank. Unlike the larger FZR models which had featured three intake valves and two exhaust valves per cylinder, the FZR600 had a four-valve per cylinder layout, necessitated by the different gas flow characteristics of the 600 cc engine over the 750 and 1,000 cc units in the FZR range Many models came with the EXUP valve system, mandatory for units sold in California. This system located in the lower exhaust manifold helps maintain high back pressure at low engine speeds, and opens up more at higher engine speeds giving the motor better mid range power. The EXUP system was mainly found in US and some European models to compensate for the loss of power caused by emissions related modifications for those markets. Standard world market models produced 91 bhp (68 kW), compared to about 76 bhp (57 kW) for EXUP equipped versions. The FZR600 continued in production until 1999. However, in some markets it was superseded in 1994 by the closely related FZR600R which was mechanically similar but featured an all new steel frame, slightly modified engine producing 98 BHP, and different styling with the now famous "Foxeye" headlamps. In the U.S., the "Foxeye" FZR600 was released in 1995 as the "Foxeye" YZF600. The original steel framed '3HE' FZR600 remained virtually unchanged throughout its production. In 1991 the FZR received a single wedge shaped headlamp to ape its FZR1000 EXUP sibling, but Yamaha reverted to the twin headlamp design for 1993. In 1990, the rear wheel width was increased to 4" (as opposed to the 3.5" wheel which was stock for the '89 model). In the same year the front brake calipers were upgraded to 4-piston units (as opposed to the 2-piston calipers on the '89 model). In 1991 the FZR received a different swingarm, which was slightly fatter in profile. Aside from the minor mechanical changes, the paintwork and color schemes were the main change for each new model year, including the Vance and Hines special edition scheme that was available for 1992.

This was originally built for Nicolas Cage, and was the actor's favorite bike of his collection. Unfortunately, his insurance severely restricted his off-screen riding, and this bike only has a total of 1232 klms (765 miles) on the odometer. It is practically a new bike! This beautiful machine is part of a wonderful collection of Superbikes. These bikes are owned by a friend who is 70 years young, and he has reluctantly decided to sell off some of them. He's not computer savvy, so he asked if I would list the bikes for him as a favor, and we decided to list them individually rather than listing all the bikes at one time. This bike was featured on RareSportBikesForSale / featured listing Nico Bakker (Google this to find the website). I don't think I'm allowed to post a link here. Here is an excerpt from the feature with special thanks to the Rare Sports Bikes team: When it comes to collectible machinery, it helps to have a rare and desirable model, or something from an exclusive manufacturer, or something with super low miles, or something that was once owned by someone famous. Or in this case, all of the above. This super rare, Nico Bakker Barracuda (with vaunted Suzuki TL1000 power) was built exclusively for Nicholas Cage. Yes, the one with Ghost Rider film creds to his name. Talk about one in a million, here is a bike that can tick all the right boxes on every level. Star power never hurts, although it is seldom the single driver behind a collectible. Rather, this Barracuda, designed and constructed by the true Dutch Master known as Nico Bakker, could be the only one of its kind imported into the United States. You want rare, I challenge you to find a more meaningful or significant opportunity than this. This bike was recently serviced and a new battery installed. It starts immediately and runs strong, with a wonderful exhaust note. This bike is close to mint condition and the cosmetics look extremely nice. I could not find any issues to note other than a few tiny blemishes that are too small to photograph. It is evident that this bike has led a very pampered life. Buyer will be extremely happy with this bike - no unwelcome surprises! The VIN number is actually "BAKKER 007" How cool is that? A fantastic piece of exotica for the rider, collector, or museum. Seller still has the California title in Nicolas Cage's name. I will be listing other classic and exotic machines as time allows. Good luck, and let's complete this transaction like gentlemen- Terms: The bike has been brought to my shop in Ventura, CA so it can be shown more easily, and I am happy to do this during the auction period. Ask all questions before you place a bid and I will do my best to get the answer for you. Serious buyers only please. Sold As-Is like any used vehicle with no warranty. I have described it to the best of my ability, and am not responsible for errors or omissions. If you win the auction, be prepared to pay a $500 nonrefundable immediate deposit and payment in full within 7 days. Bike can be safely stored for 2 weeks free of charge while waiting for transport. I can assist with getting transportation arranged, but I do not have quotes available. Buyer is responsible for all transport costs. Overseas buyers are welcome to bid. Article courtesy of Carole Nash / Insidebikes If you’ve never heard of Dutchman Nico Bakker, then take a glimpse at some of this man’s handiwork...Over the last two decades the Bakker specials have taken several manufacturers motorcycles into another dimension, in terms of speed, handling and styling. Delve into this section to learn more about the pure engineering genius of Mr Bakker and consider some of the more radical sportbike options. Six wins from six races in the 1999 Dutch BoT championship suggested Nico Bakker’s latest creation was, well, a winner. Jumping on and hitting the button, Roland Brown soon found out why, the Barracuda’s hooligan heart - a Suzy TL1000 V-twin - complemented by sleek, sexy styling and great handling. Oh yes, he found it quite fast too! Nico Bakker has been improving on Japanese bikes for years often by pushing the limits of chassis engineering. New ideas, lightweight materials, advanced technology... the Dutchman has used them all, from single-shock rear ends in the late Seventies, via aluminium frames before they became common, to various ingenious front suspension systems. Bakker’s latest bike, the TL1000-engined Barracuda V-twin, is one of his best yet. The Barracuda, named after the fast, fierce grey fish, is lean, light, great fun to ride, and has a great racing pedigree. But this is a Bakker bike with a difference. This time, words like innovative and advanced don’t really fit. Instead, Bakker has gone back to basics. The Barracuda, powered by the 996cc V-twin engine from Suzuki’s TL1000S, abandons the Japanese bike’s oval-section aluminium frame tubes in favour of good old round steel, and replaces the TL’s controversial separate rear spring and damper unit with a conventional vertical monoshock. Like many of Bakker’s bikes, the first Barracuda was built for the track. Six wins from six races so far in this season’s (1999) Dutch BoT championship for Bakker’s engineer/rider Jeroen Oudenman who had good but less spectacular results in the same series last year on a more standard TL makes a pretty good argument that simple is sometimes best. And now Bakker has begun producing a small series of near-identical roadgoing Barracudas. This bike might not be the most radical to come out of Bakker’s workshop amid the flat green fields of northern Holland, but it is definitely one of the sexiest. With its slanted twin headlights (sourced from Cagiva’s parts bin), sculpted full fairing, single seat and all-grey paintwork, the Barracuda looks lean, light and racy, with a hint of Honda VFR and a whole lot more aggression. Bakker’s engineering skill is clear from one glance at the frame, which bolts a ladder of steel tubes to a billet aluminium swing-arm pivot at each side. The steel tubes are hand-welded from 38mm diameter, aircraft-quality chrome-molybdenum. Bakker says his frame weighs no more than Suzuki’s TL-S trellis but is as rigid as the TL-R’s twin-spar aluminium frame, which is 7.5kg heavier. In contrast to the standard TL’s separate rear shock and damper unit, the Barracuda has a conventional rising-rate monoshock, not unlike the ones that Bakker pioneered on Yamaha TZ250 road-racers almost 30 years ago. ’Our system is lighter, and easier to set up in conjunction with the suspension companies,’ he says. ’When something is good, why change it? Suzuki has two systems instead of one. It’s not necessary to be so complicated.’ Bakker added 10mm to the length of his bike’s aluminium swing-arm, bringing the wheelbase to 1425mm, to help keep the front wheel on the ground. He added a little trail by reducing fork offset by 1mm (the lighter racebike has even more trail, to increase stability further), and retained the Suzuki’s 23.7-degree fork angle. ’Weight distribution is 51 per cent on the front, a little bit more than normal, because of the swing-arm, and we can also adjust the swing-arm pivot to keep the front wheel down.’ The roadgoing Barracuda will come with either an Ohlins or WP shock unit (to customer choice). This prototype compromised by having a WP body with an Ohlins spring, as part of Bakker’s development process. Front forks are the standard TL’s 43mm upside-down units revalved with WP internals, although customers can pay more for a complete WP or Ohlins front end if they prefer. Wheels are five-spoke Marvics, slightly lighter than standard. The front brake system combines the standard four-pot calipers with Brembo discs. Even the all-conquering racing Barracuda incorporates very little engine tuning: just slightly more compression and new cams, plus carburettors instead of fuel-injection, as demanded by Dutch BoT rules. So it’s no surprise that the roadgoing version is powered by a completely standard TL-S powerplant, with fuel-injection retained. The only modification is an Akrapovic exhaust, which increases power by a few horses to 126bhp at the rear wheel. This prototype wore just a pair of the Slovenian firm’s end-cans, as the full Akrapovic system with which production machines will be fitted hadn’t arrived in time for my test. The Barracuda still sounded the business, though, when I threw a leg over the fairly low single seat and hit the button. This bike was designed for lanky Dutchmen, and unlike the standard TL-S its screen wasn’t cut so low that it obscured the retained Suzuki instruments when I leant forward to the fairly low clip-ons. One thing was very familiar, though, as I pulled away: despite Bakker’s efforts to tame it with his chassis layout, the torquey Suzuki V-twin motor was still just as much of a hooligan as ever. Okay, so the Barracuda is slightly longer and fractionally more front-heavy than the standard TL-S. But the Dutch-built special is also 10kg lighter at 177kg dry. Simply winding on the throttle in first gear was enough to send the front Marvic inadvertently lifting off the ground as the eight-valve V-twin’s midrange torque came thundering in. Doubtless the Bakker bike’s reduced weight and few extra horses gave it a tiny edge over the standard TL Thou in a straight line, but I couldn’t really tell. The Akrapovic cans certainly hadn’t marred the Suzuki V-twin’s delicious midrange response, and this bike ran very cleanly and reliably at low revs, which isn’t true of all TLs. And when I found a straight bit of road, crouched behind the tinted screen and wound open the throttle, the Barracuda was every bit as rapid as you’d expect. It stormed to over 150mph with plenty of speed to come, that delicious 8000rpm-plus rush of power very much in place. High-speed stability was excellent, best illustrated by the rapid way the bike recovered after a couple of not-too-scary handlebar flaps when I went over a slightly raised strip of road spanning a small canal, at over a ton. But my first impressions of the chassis had earlier been surprisingly mixed. At slow speed, even with the WP steering damper on its lowest setting, the Barracuda swayed very gently from side to side, to much less a degree but in similar fashion to the way the TL1000S does when wearing its over-stiff factory-fitted damper. Once out of town and up to speed, though, that feeling was immediately forgotten and the Barracuda showed why it has been so successful on the track. The front wheel might have been keen to get some airtime in the lowest gears, but at higher speeds, when powering out of corners with that mighty midrange kicking in, the Dutch bike felt superbly well planted when the standard machine would just possibly have been giving the odd twitch. Holland is so flat that most roads are too straight to be much fun, but ex-racer Bakker knows where a few good bends are to be found. Cranking the Barracuda hard into one particular long, smooth second-gear right-hander showed the bike at its best, as it could be flicked effortlessly and fast into the turn, felt superbly planted and stable as I carved through, and then catapulted out onto the next straight without any bar-wiggling drama. Chassis details were sorted with the efficiency that’s to be expected of Bakker, whose customers over the years have ranged from Dutch GP heroes Wil Hartog and Boet van Dulmen to firms including BMW and Laverda. There was masses of ground clearance, even given the huge grip of the Michelin Pilot rubber, the rear of which was a 180/55-section tyre instead of the standard TL’s 190. In fast bends and slow, the whole bike gave such a feeling of control that I could easily understand why the racing version, 20kg lighter and wearing slicks, has been so dominant on the track. Occasionally the Barracuda’s racing background worked against it, as its suspension was a bit firm for bumpier bits of road. There’s plenty of potential for reducing preload and compression damping if necessary, but most roads were smooth enough that it didn’t matter. My only slight cornering concern was that, when hanging off the bike, my oversize feet felt as though they might slip off the custom-made, adjustable pegs, though in reality it wasn’t a problem. The extra stopping power provided by the change of discs was very welcome, too. The standard TL-S’s front brake is nothing special, and Bakker considered substituting its four-pot Tokico calipers with the TL-R’s superior six-potters. Instead he replaced the rotors with Brembo rotors in the same 320mm diameter, which gave a big increase in the stopper’s bite with no loss of feel at the lever. Testing exotic bikes like this comes with the big drawback that you have to give them back at the end of the day, and this was particularly tough with the Barracuda. As a satisfied TL1000S owner I reckon the much-maligned standard Suzuki is a blinding bike, with distinctive looks, torquey and characterful engine, light weight and quirky but generally effective chassis. The Barracuda, by comparison, is sleeker and much more distinctive, fractionally more torquey and just as full of character. It’s also lighter, and handles and stops better. The hand-built Bakker bike is also inevitably a lot more expensive than the mass-produced Suzuki. But if you like the TL Thou, you’ll love the Bakker Barracuda.
