I own an FZ6R and a GSX-R600. I rode the gixxer to work for a couple of days and decided it's gonna live on the track. Just not worth the back ache from stop light to stop light.
R6 is the most aggressive position of supersports.
CBR and GSXR are more comfy.
If you really want a liter bike...
price reduction from $5500 to $5250.
dropped in the grass at the track.
Only damage is a dent in the tank where the handlebar hit.
Someone buy this so I can get a track bike.
Just type in Yamaha OEM parts in Google.
You'll get links like BikeBandit, etc...
Check each one out, the bolts are only going to be a few cents/dollars.
You may have to buy a 'set' of 3 of 4.
Shipping is where they get you. I'd say go with the cheapest shipper.
good looking bike, mate. Really like the seat cowl and wheel stripes.
I think the fz6r looks fantastic with solid color fairings. Very similar to a Honda VFR or Interceptor.
It will be curious to see how this all plays out over time. Is it a fad? Will there be a brief blip on the timeline of naked vs faired bikes in America?
Are we seeing more interest in naked bikes in America because the riding community is finally buying function over form?
If the answer is...
If I'm 'hard on the throttle' I'm good for about 110-130 miles per tank.
Taking it easy, it's closer to 150-170.
You may be losing a lot of mileage, with your city riding, due to stop-and-go constant revving which just burns gas with no distance to show for it.
