Hello to all. Just thought I'd stop in to say hi. I'm taking delivery of a new 2010 black w/gold rims FZ6R on Wednesday and I can't wait!! This seems to be the perfect bike for someone wanting a F.I. 600cc 4 cyl. but does not want to lean over their bike all day. I spent a couple years on a GS500 and this is the year to move up, but did want want a Race Replica. This bike seems to get good reviews and sitting on it in the showroom felt great.
First post and no FZ6R yet

Welcome!
As others have said, I'm sure you will enjoy the bike.
I went out for 3 hours yesterday, and only stopped for a coffee/smoke break about halfway through. More so because I wanted my nic fix, than from being strained/tired. I'm 6'3"....
Riding my bike the last few weeks I have come to realize that going for a RR like I had originally planned/hoped for was a unrealistic and horrible idea. The 6R has all the power I need without being twitchy-- and I'm still doing my break in period.
When I finished my 3 hour "spirited pace" run, I gave myself a mental pat on the back for making the right choice. As a fellow 6R owner, I would tell you to go ahead and do the same now-- although you did "pay your dues" with your 500 Suzu.
I am new myself- but I would go as far as to say you are in the perfect position to really enjoy your new Yama.
And if the blue's weren't faster
, I would have gone for the black/gold myself. Beautiful bike- wish you all the best!

I have to pretty much ditto what redprodigy said, except for that he might be somewhat diliusional for saying blue's are faster :spank:Welcome!

Good choice in the 6R!!
Welcome! You will surely love this bike. Every time I ride mine I seem to love her even more. I think it is just about perfect in every way as far as mid-sized bikes are concerned. All 3 of my previous bikes had something that seemed to drive me nuts. However, this bike, there are a few things I'd like to add, but could ride it bone-stock forever with no complaints.
Ride on brother!
Oh yeah, I went to the dealer to buy a blue one, then saw the black and gold and fell in love at first sight.

No, it's actually true!!
I got lucky enough to find a Black 6r with gold rims as well. Absolutely gorgeous. If the last week has been any indication you're going to love it. Its a blast to ride
So I picked up the bike yesterday and it is AWESOME!!! Looks great and I took it for a test ride at the dealer. Even not going over 6K RPM it feels like it's got good power. I don't have it plated yet but hopefully soon. I imported it from the US so I'm waiting for that process to finish. Then I can put my plate on it and actually RIDE it instead of admiring it in the garage. I hope everything is done by Monday...I cannot wait to take this thing out on the road.
