I just bought mine a month ago brand new, 2011 FZ6R, just did the 600 mile service and my wife got a call and we are moving to WI. I am going to be selling the bike soon. It is the Raven/Red color (looks burnt orange to me). I also have saddle bags, tank bag, batter tender and all my riding...

Installed two 12V outlets on the handle bars. Installed my soft saddle bags. Raised the seat for the my long commutes.

Windshield? I'll pay you now if you still have it.

LOL, I know what changing sprockets do, I guess I should have asked what the tooth count was on the stock sprockets.

Picked it up last Thursday. Put about 150 miles on it this weekend. Rode it into work this morning, a little chilli when it is 35 deg F.

LOL, my bike has less than 50 miles on it and saw 11-12K several times yesterday :). Break them in right!

Picked it up yesterday and put a good 50 miles on it. 50 miles of good break in. Changed the oil and filter. Wanted to take it to work so bad this morning but I am waiting on my jacket and pants to go over my work clothes (dress pants/shirt). They won't be in until next week though. :(

LOL, so I lost -5 points because I didn't know the term, dang. I always did suck at taking tests :)

It is funny, most of those idiots don't even wear gear? I wonder how much they skew the statistics on motorcycle accidents/crashes?

69 Don't know what countersteer is(or don't use that term, maybe I do know what it, need to look it up), not older than 49, ride a 600cc and I ride in city traffic.

I am not new to bikes but I am new to this forum. I am picking up a new 2011 FZ6R next week, weather and schedule permitting. I have a deposit on it and all my riding gear picked out and set aside. My name is Greg, I grew up in MI, lived in Green Bay, WI for a couple years where I started...

This was back in 2007, I had a 2006 R6S and was riding with a group that I rode with weekly. Was cutting up some nice back roads when we all decided to stop and take a break. I was towards the front of the pack but we had all slowed down quite a bi. (read: everyone was there to see) We all...
