How can one...

have a conversation with one...

that is always right?

That's great.  Those tanks are scary when they crack open and leak gas.  Nothing like the fear of a flaming/exploding bike to keep you from getting aggressive in the turns.

It blows my mind that Yamaha haven't fixed that yet.

i bet the 2010 R6 will have many changes... big bang and that, among them

They re-did the bike for 08/09 & didn't fix the tank thing though. They claimed it was all new even though it looked the same... wait...  ???

Does big bang make sense for a 600 though?

is it accurate to say they re-did it?  iterative fixes/updates.  not like the '05-'06 transition.

big bang, why not?

I thought their marketing copy said it was a totally new bike but just kind of looked the same. ???

I thought (perhaps wrongly) that the point of big bang over screamer was traction. Traction on liter bikes due to power is much more of a problem and therefore the trade offs worth it, not sure if that's the case with 600s. They're using traction control in WSS now though apparently.

traction, yes, but also as-or-more importantly, mid-range.  it theoretically gives the I4 workable grunt and mid-range without sacrificing the top end power.  i can tell you first hand the R6 has no mid-range...
