Greetings riders,
Well I have had my new 2013 build FZ6R for... a week now and I'm enjoying it a lot. So I thought I would say hello to all the other FZ6R riders (And their variants) from around the world. Its the white/red version and done just over 120 klms now.
I'm coming from a R15, so you can imagine the difference I notice when going from such a small bike to a larger one.
It was amusing when I test rode the FZ6R the first time, and when I went to get on my R15, I started looking for the coin slot to start the kiddie ride
Don't get me wrong, I love the R15, it is a faithful ride for the last 3 years. I just wanted something a little bigger.
It is a lot heavier than what I thought, but hey, its a bigger bike. though I do miss being able to man handle it a little when parking.
One thing I did notice that I thought was strange (at least for me) is the heat that it gets up to. 100 celcius seems really high to me, but its my first big bike so I was not sure what to expect.
I have not had a chance to take my new baby out for a long ride yet. But I am looking forward to it.
The few things I am thinking of adding/changing on my bike are as follows:
Frame sliders (T-rex or GYTR. not sure which yet.)
Smaller front indicators
custom license plate
Joice box or power commander. (I'm hoping for a little overun pop )
I want to keep the stock exhaust for the moment.
Anyway, hello to all and hope to see you all out there on the road
