    Should I or shouldn't I?

    I actually had two of them at one time. Both '07's one of each color for that year. I sold them because I was getting ready to buy a new house. Went about a year with no bike at all and got the bug back. I really liked the FZ6 which was made it hard to buy the 6R, because I didn't...

    Should I or shouldn't I?

    Chimming in a little late, but have been sick and haven't been on for a while. I'd say with confidence DO IT. I'm 54, have owned nearly 30 bikes from supersports to cruisers. This bike has an amazing blend of performance, comfort, and handling. It's not going to get through the twisties like...

    Blah help blowing fuses

    If it wasn't blowing fuses before, it's probably the wiring.

    best frame sliders

    Why do people come on here, fail to use the search feature, get really good advice, then go buy something that nobody's using when you could have just done this in the first place. I don't get it. :mad::mad: OK rant over.

    Was in Albuquerque NM this weekend

    Man I don't know how you guys ride during the monsoon season there. My wife's there on business, so I flew out to stay with her for the weekend. She had told me about the rain there, but you think you know what hard rain is. I DIDN"T, man it just came down in buckets. Within a matter of...

    I love my FZ6R... so why am I looking at Monsters & Street/Speed Triples?? :(

    You definitely need to post up a review of the 8 when you get it. If they sell them here in the US, I will probably get one.

    FZ6 Exhaust

    I totally agree. If you want the stuff the other bike has, just buy the other bike.

    FZ6 Exhaust

    Not even possible to do. We have too much in the way. I've owned 2 FZ6's and they were designed with the room for the exhaust to fit under there including the tail section that wrapped the fake cans. It's really just one muffler with a plastic shield that looks like two separate pieces. They...

    09 FZ6R comfortable?

    Hey Jon, With the seat higher and the bars forward, doesn't that put more pressure on your wrists? It seems that if you a$$ is higher and the bars more forward, you would have to lean more to reach them. Am I wrong on this? I know this bike isn't as comfortable as my FZ6 was. I did a 500...

    Aftermarket fairings

    This looks like way more than fairings to change the color of the whole bike. The front fender, tank and tail section would have to be replaced as well. How much are they asking?
