I will have to say blue for me. It would be red but I don't like the black they put in there. Blue just goes with the Yamaha name 8)

When's someone going to have the guts to come out with pink or fusia? I guess I'll have to go with BLUE.

I must see more blues on the road than all the other colours put together.
In fact , I'd say its probably double than all the rest.

Same situation with the R1.

I'd like to know the official stats on that..

I personally like every color except red.. :twisted:
Yellow looks great but gets mistaken for a Duke of Zuki.

Havnt really seen any custom jobs of note.
I'd like to see the bike in matt black or all carbon fibre panels.. umm.

Well, had another look on the gallery and that yellow one gets me salivating.... 8)

I think the answer is to have a blue one for the street and a firmed-up yellow one for the track... :idea:

Talking of the gallery... i am working on it over the next few days so that everyone can create + modify pictures.
Hopefully , the integration wil go work okay so that users on the forum can smoothly go into thr gallery without re-entering their login details.
I'll announce something as and when.

LiquidSilver kicks a$$, if only because there aren't many other bikes like that around. My second choice would be blue

That silver is very nice....

Silver R6 (http://www.r6.com/forum/modules/gallery/R6-Pictures/sr6)

Thus , its a Blue for the street , yellow for the track and a silver for shows. :P

Interestingly, the yellow has more views on the GALLERY (http://www.r6.com/forum/modules/gallery) but you could put that down to curiosity as the USA dont get that color option. :twisted:

I went with Red because it is different. I get more looks from other riders, blue r6's the most. I think that the red is more flashy, good and bad, It just seems to me that it sticks out in a crowd of bikes. there are just so many yellow, black or blue yamis, gsxrs, kawis, cbrs, etc, dont see red as much as you used too.

You do have a point, it is rarer.
Maybe this will attract those who like something different and red registrations will increase.

Still, simillar to the way only Italian cars pull red off I think only Ducati look really good in the color.

This is of course, purely my opinion only.

Mind you, I'd love to see an R6 is a custom dark, metallic red (no white anywhere) :!:

I saw a 03 R6 yesterday that was all custom. I didn't have my camera with me unfortunately though. this guy had some kind of a grim reaper thing going on. he put a custom windscreen with a cloaked skull on front, and painted bottom fairings with a graveyard & fog scene. the tank was black/red ish.. and parts were ripped out to see the blue underneath. his seats were covered in dark red satin. it was cool, but weird. I'm sure I'll see it again, as he must live close to me. I'll get a pic of it.

Yellow R6 (http://www.r6.com/forum/modules/gallery/R6-Pictures/yr6)

It was for Europe only...
Limited Edition of 2000 made, all SOLD.
I know a few have made it out of the continent.
They rarely come up for resale and if they do.... They are snapped up.

Looks great ! 8)

Red is making a little surge on the poll but I wont be swayed...

Blue, Yellow, Silver, Red - for me...

Yellow R6 has to be the most desireable, but blue is definately the most popular

come on people everyone knows that blue is the fastest (the color alone gives it an extra million hp)

I have a blue R6 but hate the lamo graphics. I have removed the stickers on the side panels and will have the rest removed from the tank this winter. The only sticker on y bike is the r6 on the rear. I took all of the stickers off my Ducati execpt the 'supersport 750' and recieved a lot of nice comments. I like my bike to have very understated look.
