    Please forgive me. Thinking about selling the fz6r and getting a Street Triple

    You can commute comfortably on the FZ6r without being blasted to bits by wind! My OH has just agreed to me buying a second bike, she wanted me to get rid of mine! Convinced her that an F4 Senna isn't really the bike to do commuting miles and she has said it is all good to go ahead.

    New tires, New bike. (Michelin 2CT's)

    Whilst having a UK spec bike is great because we haven't got the useless air pipes on the side. The one thing I would like to see is a link system exhaust, they know that everyone wants to change the awful cat box that comes with it because it sounds pathetic! Not asking for a full akro system...

    Dipple666 Interview

    Why don't you buy a plain helmet and get it airbrushed in the style, that would look amazing. Going for my second HJC CS12 with Simoncelli tribute on it, might do the Senna one in the future.

    Dipple666 Interview

    Massimo Tamburini was gutted when Senna died, so he designed and produced this great bike to allow the profits to be donated to Senna's children foundation that he had set up in Brazil.

    Hi all, Having trawled for a while trying to find a decent XJ6 Forum and was recommended to check this forum instead because they are practically the same bike. I have got a '10 XJ6 Diversion in dark blue. Have loved it since the day I bought it and kept it mainly stock, but am so bored of...
