I dig it. If it had the two piece seat like the 6R I would like it even more.
Yeap, noticed that too. I like the 2 piece setup better.
Convert it! Sell your plastics; I'm sure you could make a fair penny on that.Too bad we cannot get this bike in the US. I'd get it right away. When will Yamaha bring it over?
I'm new here, and waiting to get the FZ6R instead.
love the "naked" look... the other bike that i really liked was the ducatti monster. but, it's too big, too powerful, and handlebars too low for a newbie like me... lol i wonder how the fz6r looks naked. but, it looks pretty sexy with the fairings too. so, i'm a happy camper either way.

weird isn't it? in europe we get the xj6n (mine) with no fairing and the xj6s with half fairing and you guys over the pond get the full faired fz6r. I think that the fz6r would sell well over here.Too bad we cannot get this bike in the US. I'd get it right away. When will Yamaha bring it over

i bought the unfaired bike as it was very, very cheap. I'll use it to tour so as long as i can use motorways, autoroutes and autobahns at 80mph im happy.
+still got an fzr1000 for lunacy if i can be bothered (i must be getting old!!!)
Yeah, I saw the xj6 in Europe and would be the ideal bike for around town/neighbourhood. I'm not looking for a sport(y) bike. Ducati Monster is too expensive for what it is. But since I want a Yamaha I'll settle for the faired version then!
Maybe I'll look for spare xj6 parts, lights, etc when I'm over in Europe next. What about Canada, do they get the xj6?

Nope, they also get the FZ6R, same with Australia and South Africa.... Just Europe went with XJ6>

Well in Europe, you do have the XJ6 Diversion F, which is basically our FZ6R, but with a single piece seat and a center stand. Other than black forks, different decals and other regulations, it is just about the same bike.
I see, so there is a option to buy a Yamaha Center Stand for our bike
. And I think like the two piece seat better.flyingminno

Yeah I hope there is, I would prefer to have one instead of stands. I personally like the look of our two piece, but the one piece seems more practical and comfortable.I see, so there is a option to buy a Yamaha Center Stand for our bike
Looks like the UK will have a full fairing version for 2010. Pic shows single seat and what looks like a center stand (blue bike pic has better angle). Soooo Yamaha has some 'splainin' to do to the US market. Why no ABS option in the US market and why isn't the center stand standard??? I think many of us thought the reason for no factory center stand was because of fairing interference. Hmmm...
Companies always offer different options in different parts of the world. But I'm guessing that part of why some of the more expensive options aren't available here right now is because of the lack of sales in the US. If I'm not mistaken, motorcycle sales in the US have plummeted (over 40% according to motorcycle-usa.com) I read today that Suzuki is possibly not even going to send 2010 models to the US their sales for 2009 were so low. Let alone send all the different options available for all the models they have all around the world.
