Wow, all I can say is AMAZING!!! Just got my bike back after putting on Race Tech straight rate fork springs with Gold Valve emulators, a Race Tech rear shock with red Eibach spring, Accossato master brake cylinder and levers as well as Galfer SS brake lines. Also dropped the front end 4 mm...
Fellow 6r Riders! This quiz came from the book Proficient Motorcycling by David Hough. It is based on various sources of compiled US statistics. It is very subjective, but still fun to take. A score of 85 or higher and you’re managing risk very well. 40 or lower and you may want to take a...

SSB recently built out a 2011 FZ6r and featured it on page 58 of their December issue. They had some good things to say about our bike. They spent a little over 2k but some of the mods they made were free - like lowering the front end. Among the mods they made were a Two Bros. Exhaust system...
Wherever I go I get comments on how cool the headlight is on our bike... one guy said it looks like a bird of prey and another said it looks like a logo for the third reich (yikes). Today this kid comes up and starts oggling the bike and then he points to the headlight and says "transformers!"...

Got the week off next week and heading up the coast on my FZ6r. I'm thinking of trailering to San Luis Obispo and riding up to Mendocino and back, sticking to US 1 as closely as possible. Anybody have experience doing this and can share any must dos or must not dos? Thanks, John
Hey all, just picked up my new 2011 black FZ6R. Been riding for awhile on my Ninja 250 and decided it was time to take it to a new level. :)
Looking forward to learning and contributing as I get used to the new bike. It would be cool to meet some other riders in my area too. :)
