Hey guys I know I have been absent as of late, but I have been so busy with teaching high school, & coaching football and wrestling. Now that I have a little break I just wanted to update you. I with much regret will not leave entirely as I love reading the posts always on here, but today I traded my FZ6R on an 2007 FJR with low miles (good price) and good condition. It was a hell of a deal I just could not pass up. I rode her home and she is sweet. I love the power and feel of the bigger bike. I am also a bigger guy 230lbs so I wanted a bigger bike and this fits me perfectly. I really like Yamaha products and wanted to stay in the family. I will miss my little blue machine as she carved up some good mountain terrain and was very dependable. The FZ6R is a great bike and I think Yamaha did well by her albeit would like to see them put a few more ponies back in. Guys have a safe and wonderful Christmas and Holiday season and I will see you on the boards and on the roads. Happy trails!!
