YZF600R The perfectly balanced middleweight supersport machine. A model of civility attuned to the everyday needs of the real world. That's not to say the 600R doesn't feast on twisty tarmac as hungrily as its supersonic R1 and R6 siblings.

YES!

I'm married.

That may work for the younger riders but I'd rather not ride someone I don't know. Plus it's not like these girls have anything on but a t-shirt, shorts and flip flips. No gear = no ride.

This is where some of the guys on our 600R forum did a group buy last spring. I would contact the guy at the retailer and see if you could get the YZF600R.com group buy price.

it can be done but you would need to be very good with electrical stuff. What most people do is just buy a digital bike (bicycle) gauge and mount it on the triple clamp. Not saying that an r6/r1 gauge cluster couldnt work but it would be alot of work, plus getting it to mount and look stock as well

Yep, I would think the toughest part would be fabricating the dash area to look like it wasn't a hack job.
You also open the 'can of worms' about electrical inputs. The Cat uses electrical trouble code signals via the tach to indicate problems. The Cat's speedo is mechnical. The R6 and 1 are digital.
