I visited the Hyderabad International Auto Show.
It was good with new entrants.

Nice shots there Prabhakar! Loved the Martin and the VFR click! Thanks for sharing.

sexy shots.. but the R6 is looking stupid to me...

[Prabhakar]

The R6 is indeed STUPID.
Revs like crazy to 15-16k RPM

That's a false claim if i ain't wrong.. revs around 15k rpm ( i don't remember that number now)

[Prabhakar]

The R6 gets its Peak Power around 14-14.5k depending on the year of make.
It redlines at 15.5k - 16.5k RPM in stock conditions( Source - R6 forums, Manuals & Owners)
Please check with the R6 forums, Manuals or the owners you'll get more info.
Track versions have hit 17k RPM also.


Also there will be the error which you see on the Tacho & the actual RPM.
You may be talking about the Actual RPM & I'm talking about the RPM seen on Tacho.

Not ready to debate on it, as I'm neither an owner nor going to buy it.
If you read it as 15k, then that can also be true as we have a new model every year.
I edited my post also.

Just rode it a couple of times & heard it roar 6-7 times.
I revved it only till 13k as the owner asked me not to cross13k.
So can't comment or confirm when it hits the Limit.
However it is sweet music   even at 13k.
That is what I was interested in.

well i too know that the actual rpm is different then what is claimed..  But many a tunes companies boast too much..
and ya its not everyday you can here a 600cc engine revving to 13k rpm..
