    poor mpg with new bike ???

    I get 30s to 40s with city riding, and got exactly 50MPG riding 2-up on an all-highway (rolling hills terrain) weekend trip. Bike is stock but naked with 4800 miles, and I have been practicing the suggested "keep it over 5K" rule with better MPG results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Calling all Bay Area FZ6R

    Any recommendations in Marin + north bay? Heading out with a couple of friends later. We usually head to Alice's on the peninsula, but I'm in the mood for something different. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    FZ6R Riders Show us your baby!!

    I'm the new owner of this used 2012 FZ6R. It needs a couple things fixed, then I'm thinking front and rear fender delete, maybe some "fairings" from the XJ6, black hex head bolts wherever there are sliver ones, frame sliders, and some Motogadet M-Blaze bar end turn signals to replace the...

    New Member- 2012 FZ6R Hey ladies and gents- I'm picking up a used 2012 FZ6R this weekend, and am glad to have found this forum! The bike is black and has been down on one side, but nothing major that I can't rehab over time. It's basically a scraped up streetfighter now (the new headlight...
