Not throught Nesba...my brother directed me to Team Promotions who do track days at Virginia International Raceway. Just had to tape over the glass part of the mirrors. To me the tires were great....I never felt any slipping. My bike only had about 2000 miles on it when doing the track...

Did you get your bike? San Diego is a great place to ride...especially out towards Julian, and 79 towards Palomar Mtn, Cuyamaca....great places. Probably not too hard on the RPM's for the break in time.

Hey, Yeah...this was my first track day. I heard about the coupon too but no where near me. I have been looking around at all the tracks and they all seem to have similar prep rules. You will need to bring painters masking tape...the blue kind works well because the adhesive peels back off...

I have only seen one other FZ6R...I'm in San Diego and ride combo of commute and mountains...just don't see many. For the price and how well it rides I think we will see more as time goes on.

Insurance Cost I have very high coverage with Farmers subsidiary Foremost because of a personal umbrella, but I pay 465/yr with no tickets, no accidents, homeowner insurance as well as a few cars already with Farmers. Online the rates I got were pretty bad, topping $1200/year???with no...

Top Speed I've had it to 130 with my body tucked down, 123-4 sitting upright. But according to my GPS I topped out about 123. The speedo does seem to be off.

I got my bike June 13 and have 3500 on it so far. I took a week long trip back in Virginia and we rode 2100 miles during that week....it was a blast. I shipped my bike back there so I could have my own bike to ride and it was well worth the $1,000 round trip I paid to have it shipped. The...

I got the Frogg Toggs classic set for $60 at cycle gear. I was back east and had a 9 hour ride of which about 7 was in the rain. It held up well for the first 3-4 hours but then at the spot between the pants and jacket, rain started to get through. I doubt there are any rain suits that would...

Don't go to this site...it is of no benefit to bike riders. Bad things can happen to anyone at just about any time....are you going to stop driving your car because of a possible crash, or stop flying because of the possibilities there. Obviously riding a bike has its risks, but so does just...

I always stagger when riding, but at a light I will pull up a little closer depending on how much of the lane is available, but it is with RESPECT. I feel that most bikers out there offer respect to other bikers...and rarely do I experience anything less than that. I think bikers are a lot...

Joe Rocket Sonic 2.0 jacket--leather with zip out vest, and zip out under arms that reveal a mesh liner that works great in the heat. I was riding back east in the heat and with vest liner out and mesh under arms revealed it was very comfortable. It seems to have good padding and is...

Track day on FZ6R last week I went to Virginial International Raceway for a track day. The bike did great on the track, but in my opinion it is in a different class compared to track bikes. The FZ6R is NOT a supersport, even though it is classified that way on Yamaha's web site. Probably the...

I hadn't ridden in about ten years and then got the FZ6R....it felt like I never stopped...it is a great bike to start on. I just road my brother's GSXR600....I would never think to start on a bike like that.

Price paid Great deal!

Price Paid I paid $6740 plus tax of $612, doc fee $55, reg fee $106, and title fee $3.50...this was at North County Yamah in Escondido/San Marcos, CA. They also sold me some accessories at cost during the time of purchase. I think the bike is worth more.
