Howdy! Enjoy your new ride!!!
Howdy! Enjoy your new ride!!!
Small world! Live in Stephens City out past Winchester but I work in Sterling off of 28 before the airport.
I commute 55 miles to work and 55 back home. Can the FZ6R handle that maintaining around 6k rpm for about an hour at a time?
This bike does very well as a commuter on the highway! :thumbup: I wouldn't recommend doing it until past the break-in period, but that's up to you. If you do, just change gears every once in a while to vary the rpms.
Yeah thats what I did this morning. Today is the first day I took it to work. (Well, since i bought it yesterday)
.I took the back way in which is a little longer but the speed limit varies quite a bit as you go through little towns. I made sure I varied my speed and RPM quite a bit. Hopefully all will be good. Im just trying to get over break in, so I can really crack it open. Cant wait to feel what 10k+ is like :thumbup:
Sweet. Im coming from an 08 Honda Rebel 250, so you can imagine im already in aw with the power I can already feel. I wont know what to do with myself when I'm allowed to really get on itIt's a blast! The top end HP lacks a bit, but the torque is amazing for this bike!
I should be out of break in possibly by this weekend if the weather stays decent and I can take it to work all week.Ha, I work right down from IAD at 28 and 50 intersection west...your actually very close!
I was going to ride today but I got pretty lazy and decided to ride when it was a little cooler tonight.
When do you take your lunch? Should meet up and ride for a little bit at lunch time since we are so close. I take lunch from 12-1pm. Could get a decent little ride in there :thumbup:
I actually take 28 down to 50 and take 50 home.

Congrats on the new bike. Welcome to the form. I did the same thing you did for breaking my bike in. I work about 200 miles (round trip) away from where I live. I had my bike through the break in period in like 2 and 1/2 days. I recommend if you are doing highway riding to keep changing your speeds speeds and maybe open it up a couple times. The reason you want to open the bike up, is so the seals in the motor seal properly. Be safe, but ride hard. haha:welcome:
I usually go around 11:45 or so; are there alot of fun roads down 50 that way? do you take 15?
I dont know this area too much. Pretty much just come out here to work. I use to take 7 all the way from winchester up through leesburg to 28. But i just realized I can take 50 all the way up. 50 is ok, some decent spots. I havent been on 15.
Just hit me up some time you want to ride...I've been meaning to actually head out towards Charleston sometime via route 9.
