Thanks Jerzee!. i will definitely look into that . I was relived to hear that a local car repair shop has a motorcycle tech. The bikes I grew up with were carbureted. I can see a spring service check up for my piece of mind. I can do oil changes and basic stuff but when it comes to the engine components I want more expertise. LoL all I had was my bicycle pump at hope so it was a interesting getting to 36 and 42 respectfully. Its been a long time since any bike I owned was actually pretty. The white pearl just looks classy to me. Have a nice weekend!
 
Hi there! I'm a new member, but I've been lurking for a long time and this site has been a great resource over the past two years.

My bike is a 2015 FZ6R that I purchased back in 2021 for commuting purposes, but I couldn't leave well enough alone with a history of building cars. So it got clip-ons, rear sets, levers, grips, throttle tube, brake lines, signals, tail light, seat, and some other small things.

Unfortunately, I got caught out by a decreasing radius turn on the way home from work a few months ago, so I'm somewhat starting from scratch again. I do have a plan for the winter though, so hopefully when spring comes I'll have Version 3 ready for the 2024 season.

Hello, my name is Peter Guerra and live in Alton, Ontario Canada. I am 76 years old and just bought a 2006 FZ6. For the last year I have been Riding a 2007 Vmax. It was my dream bike, so I had to own and ride one before I head to the pearly gates. the Vmax was getting a little heavy putting it on the center stand because of health issues and hence the reason to something 200 Lbs lighter.
 
Hi all... I'm Don, from Ohio. I just bought a black 09 FZ6R garage queen. Had 3800 miles on it. Previously had an 06 FZ6 that I loved for 3 years. I'm 70, have ridden since 16, and have had 46 different bikes. Years ago I had an '04 FZ1 skunk (black/silver) I was actually looking for a 1250 Bandit....I've had 3 of those and love the engines! Bulletproof!!! Also, 4 or 5 VStroms, 3 Kawasaki Voyagers, Concours 14, lots of enduros, etc...etc. Glad to still be riding at 70, but various medical problems will likely end my riding in a few years.
