My brother just got this r6 yesterday and hes only 17!!!!!
Its silly quick and good for 160mph
The guy who rode it back said he will be in a box. 
i think its really nice, pictures are crap we will get better ones when its sunny
plans are different sticker kit
different colour wheels
different rear cowl( 02 onwards )
different exhaust and a few other bits and bobs
let me know what you think???

I think you should tell your brother anything important you've been meaning to say before he gets on it.

Nice bike, I do agree though, tell him if he wants to go quick there are plenty of track days etc available.

If he's sensible then he'll be fine! If not then its his own fault. Just because it does 160mph doesn't mean you have to do it everywhere. Believe me as i've got one, there silly quick if you want it to be

youll need your 33bhp restrictors if you havent held a licence for 2 years, and, if you are gonne restrict a bike dont waste money getting an r6 ffs

So its only insured for theft then? Whats the point of having insurance if its automatically voided when the person has a crash?
