Bad Karma?

[CDN6R]

I have noticed 2 things lately with reguards to posts on our Forum.... 1/ It seems lately alot of the FZ6R's are "kissing" the ground and,,,,,,,,,2/ People seem to be selling their 6R's!!!!!! Is this site in jepardy?????

Nah, we're fine!

With some exceptions it seems as though mostly noobs are dropping them. Just more bikes for...I can't remember his handle....to fix up for a steal and resell (think green FZ6R).
Too bad though that the FZ6R may build or continue to mature a reputation as a "stater" bike and simply continue to rash everywhere. If Yamaha can sell a lot of them though, it just may make it easier for the rest of us to get after market accessories.

For most of the rider... getting back on the saddle after few months of winter might be the oups factor! For an experience rider it's just one more season.

Taking it easy for the first few weeks it a requirement. Pavement is still dirty from all the sand and salt layed down over the winter. Pavement temperature can still be cold, even if outside temp is warm. And just as going back to the gym after several months of rest... back off from where you were and work on your skills. Not that you forgot how to ride, but you need to get into the motion.

Most important... Respect the machine... it will take good care of you!

I know $hit happen... but if you'regoing to lay down your nice yellow 6R, don't scratch the upper fairing, I need one! LOL (I put few scratch on mine doing windscreen project)

Drive safe, within your limits!

I think the fact that this bike came out as a starter bike and it came out LAAaaaaate in the game, duing the hardest time to sell bikes, it will need a little time to gain proper momentum.

Other than that, who cares what the jones' are doin? My buddy test rode mine, and came back with a triumph st. He wanted more Presently he has had it for 2 months, and here are his whiney little nags. It's too heavy to go to work on... it's raining... it's too cold... it's too hot.... In my opinion, he's just the type of rider the world gets, I want a bike for gas, and to travel, blah blah, then go get it and wah wah wah.... bitch.

Most people around here buy them and let them sit! its unreal how many of my friends I ask if they had it out riding yet and they say its still in storage. ARE YOU NUTS!?!?! lol Id never let it just sit!

There's people who like the sport, and people who think they like the sport. Whether it's for Vanity or other issues, I'm just happy it makes life cheaper for me. A guy on the r6 forum bought an r6 for 1k, after its owner lost the keys and let it sit for 8 years. Some of you might not want the headache, but it would be a project I would love.

The bike I had just before the 6R was a 85 Honda 1100 Sabre. It is a 26 year old bike and they still have a following and a forum. There will always be FZ6R lovers and this forum. :thumbup:

i have almost 3k in my first year. how good/bad is that for a bike? i know 15k/yr is about average for a car (im almost at 12k on my car and i've only had it for 7 months )

 

[BrueThru]

I've got 144,000 and change on my '78 CB750 (retired now in the garage, in a place of honor...poor abused thing) and 2,400 on the 6R since mid March '11. I ride everyday weather permitting. No way I'm letting a "fun" machine sit and get dusty. Just sayin...

it's my only form of transportation I hate winter days..

 

[flyingminno]

There isn't a day in the year that I weather limits seriously limits my riding. When it is "resting" in the garage is by personal choice, driving others or major maintenance, being here in Southern California. So it is my everyday driver. Hence why I get just over 10k miles per year on it.

I bought mine as a gift to myself after surgery & to get back into riding after a few years outta the saddle.
Having a short riding season & other hobbies, hiking, kayaking, river camping, convertible I am not sure it is going to see the use it deserves. Also I am moving and going to be more in the country & am thinking dual sport. Soooo...I listed mine here and CL but have had some tire kickers but honestly will probably sell it on consignment at my friend's dealership. His stock is already sold out for the season.
Also my winter hobby is expensive as well since I just snowchecked a '12 Ski-Doo. I put more miles on the trails than pavement & the new one is a 4 stroke w/ relatively good mpg (21) for a 2 stroker. It will be a fun winter.

I love the FZ6R and think it is the best darn bike out for the $$$. Its makes a great little touring and twisty attacker. Life is short, get out and ride.

 

[Detrich]

winter-time i do find it tough to split my time between snow boarding and riding sometimes... hehehe but, where there's a will there's a way!

simply love riding!

I went riding yesterday, 80 degrees, sunny...


I had several "hey baby", "hot stuff" and the occasional female shout so the ladies think the bike is HOT!


I had one guy honk at me at a light, I lifted my tinted visor and he said "man can you do a wheelie on that thing" My response: I put down my tinted visor and ignored him.

While getting gas, I had 2 dorks tell me that my bike looked nice and asked me how fast will it go, my response: "faster than your car" (side note) the female riding back seat was smiling at me.

I dont care if people think its a started bike or not. For me the money was right and lets face it, its a decent machine. Most people dont even ride and think all bikes are "cool" and cant tell the difference between a 600 or a liter bike nor do most non-riders even know what that means.. As far as other bikers on the road, they ride their ride and ill ride mine. I see people on true sport bikes bent over stretching their backs at traffic lights while im as comfortable as can be with the upright seating position.


Ive had my new bike about a month, just turned 1,000 miles yesterday.
