Is YamahaR6 good bike 2 start after my DAS test. Is is good to drive around?. Heard it doesnt like low speeds?

I have driven 250 cc bikes till now. I would be using this bike for commuting to work and long rides on the weekend. Please suggest if there are any other sports bikes like the R6 that are not as powerful as it and can be driven easily at high and low speeds.

The R6 , GSXR 600 etc are all out sport bikes.

For all round try something less extreme - save you on insurance , purchase cost etc AND is a more sensible step up for a year or two.

Look at the Kawasaki ER6-F ,Suzuki GSR 600 , Suzuki SV650 and similar.

Compare insurance quotes and list price and you will see what I mean instantly.

After 2 years you will have gained experience and no-claims discount then move up to a sports 600 , 750 or even a 1000.

The smiles per mile will be just as big , but easier on your pocket and you will learn more.

Good luck and well done on passing ... welcome to the global biking family.

It's not that the bike doesn't like low speeds. It has a reputation for being at it's peak performance at higher speeds. The power band is set higher in the RPMs. Low speeds are fine. You want a bike that's not going to shoot to the moon if you accidentally blip the throttle.

This bike is just fine for you. If you're still worried get the YZF600R. Same bike just tuned differently so it's not as aggressive.
