So I have a friend who is moving on from his 2013 Triumph Street Triple R.
He offered me the option to buy it for whatever # the dealer offers him as trade in value.:D
I have to get mileage and specs (mods), but don't think he's done much to it. You don't need to, it's an awesome bike...
It was 31 degrees when I rode in to work this morning.
Barely 45 degrees Fahrenheit at lunch time.

Cold? Yes. BUT....Boy, Oh Boy, do I love being back on the moto after winter!!!
Loving the no rise FZ1 bar and forward position too.
Taking it...
Hi I want to try the Puig Racing screen (not the touring, although I know there aer a lot of advocates for that version here).
I'm only 5'8" and have flat proto bars with the mounts rotated to the forward position. So my lean has me lower than stock.

Before you need to change the rear suspension or lower or make mods to the rear. I read an article in SuperStreetBike "FZ6R Better than you Think" where they look to have lowered a 2011 as much as possible by brining the forks up thru the Triple Tree to the maximum (just before they hit the...

Initially just gonna change to the more forward/lower set up.

Maybe Change to Yamaha FZ1 Bars later?

OK so was taking a sweeping corner at decent speed (40mph)....
Did not think I was leaning that hard, but had my weight forward and had my feet angled forward on the pegs (instead of flat, or balls of feet on pegs). So the toe/front of my foot was 2-4 inches below the peg.

So bought a Dainese Spedio D Dry jacket and LOVE IT. Size 48 fits me perfectly. Ordered the wave back protector insert as well. I think I found a brand that really works for me. Not cheap, but quality stuff and well designed and their more euro sizing fit me just right.
Been on the hunt for a...
Hi Looking for a low boot that I can get away with wearing at work (biz casual). Would probably get brown.

I am casually looking at used FZ6R's with low milage in my area.

Any comments appreciated.
