How about the best 600 on the planet, the Yamaha R6? Thought you'd like that. We also have a handful of R6Ss, a more street-oriented version of the R6, and a few FZ1s for those of long inseam that just can't fold themselves on a 600. Add the FZ8 and you will find a terrific choice of bikes.
No, sign up and we'll put you on an R6S, an FZ8 or an FZ1. The S is a slightly-roomier version of the R, and the FZ line is a fantastic sport bike for tall guys.
Yes, you will be allowed to ride as fast as the bike, rider and track allow. We have no speed limits at YCRS, but we do have control limits. Speed is a direct reflection of how you use the controls, and we will stress proper control usage. To us, too much entrance speed isn't really a speed issue, it's a "lack of control" issue.
