. I have been riding for about 2 months and put 1900 miles on my 2011 FZ6R. Thanks to the MSF course, reading Total Control, various magazine articles on techniques and many of the helpful posts on this board it has been an awesome experience finally breaking into the motorcycle world. The FZ6R has been a great learning bike (low seat hight, predictable throttle/clutch, forgiving breaks) and I have no regrets starting out on this 600cc bike. In any case safe travels everyone.. Would have to say MSF class was awesome and I learned a lot. I have a new 2010 white/red Fz6r (0 miles when i got it from dealer and now has 2400 miles) and would have to say I love this bike, so much fun to ride and for a 600cc think its a great beginner bike (was easy to learn on) and gets better gas mileage than I thought it would.
Great! If you look around you might be able to find a used one with a lot of goodies already on it for way cheaper. Shop around! The 6R is an entry level bike... some people feel the need to step up within the first year and sell there bike. I'll keep mine for a long time. That's an awesome everyday bike! Welcome...Hello, everyone. My name is Stephen and I haven't bought my FZ6R but fully intend to sometime next year if my financial situation allows it. I went to the Yamaha shop yesterday and they had ONE FZ6R sitting there with a marked down price tag of $6000. The salesmen let me examine it, sit on it, etc. I basically fell in love right there. It actually kind of hurts that I can't afford it right now.
In any case, I'll be taking the MSF course within the next two months and I will continue to save my funds or search for a really hot deal so I can this sexy, awesome bike!
