Because I shopped around, test rode several bikes, and finally decided the XJ6 was the best bike for me. I didn't read any tests; I prefer to make my own mind up!

I wear Kevlar jeans 90% of the time. until it gets too cold, then I wear my Wolf Titanium Outlast pants... The jeans look like normal jeans, but are a lot safer. they're not too heavy or warm either. I have a few different brands, but my favourites are Draggin' Jeans.

Because it was a naked bike, mainly. Hate faired sports crotch rockets... And because it was cheap. I commute year round on the bike, and wrote off my XJR 1300... Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

I bought it because it was an affordable 600cc commuter. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

Pic of my XJ6 attached... 25000 miles in 2 years! :-) Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

Supersport? A detuned FZ6 motor, which is itself a detuned R6 motor, in a budget frame, with budget suspension? I think not. I love it, but a supersport it is not! Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

Agreed. Oh, and the XJ6/FZ6R is not a sport bike. It is a capable small capacity commuter. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

Looks like a Honda Shadow... Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk

I looked - the mounting holes are different... :-( Real shame.

They can be had quite cheaply now. I had them on my XJR, and they are awesome... Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Does anybody know if they fit the XJ6/FZ6-R? Looks like a good way of improving braking power? In fact, how about fitting a whole USD R1 front end? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

I have a set of heated grips fitted. Plus a set of MotoX "Bark Busters" to keep the worst of the wind & rain off. Works a treat with a good pair of gloves.

You mean because every c*nt's got one? True. Almost as bad as Bandits...

I can barely fit on one of those...

Weird - I have been taught the way I described, by every instructor I have ever dealt with - front only, front + back, back only - dive, level, stop...?
