I was just asking a question. So here is the rephrase since you failed to answer my previous question..I'm not making a point, merely adding a link
I agree :thumbup:I see you Edited your original post to omit the line "no need to be a smartass"
nice gesture
Sage, i have set that forum up; the reason for doing so is that the EU model is named differently (XJ6) and so although the model is popular here (EU) people do not search for an FZ6R forum. I certainly do not wish to undermine this forum or act in an antisocial manner. It's really a case of (slightly) different strokes for different folks. The XJ6 was the 14th best selling model of 2010 in the UK, but very few of those owners will be aware of this forum.What's the point when you are posting in an already established FZ6R/XJ6 forum and the subforum you made this thread in is the local for the UK? I'm not seeing the gain from splitting communities up when you get more ideas, and more people giving their opinions and help when its one large active community.
Just my $.02 though.
Thank you for reasoning behind the act, I do agree there aren't many xj6 owners here, but there are a few, like yourself. We are the first link when someone does a search for an xj6 motorcycle forum though, they just need to google search and read the description and its right there ..

You are more than welcome to join us over there too.
p.s. mods if i have broken any of your rules please remove this post.
I think it's just a case of people assuming the search is pointing to the wrong bike, in the uk it may be confused with the FZ6S or even the FZR600. Lots search for 'diversion' the name for the half-faired model and go to forums primarily for the mid 90s xj600s. I blame Yamaha for recycling names like diversion and fazer for decades!Thank you for reasoning behind the act, I do agree there aren't many xj6 owners here, but there are a few.

I have put a link in for this forum in one of the first topics. There is a hell of a lot knowledge on this forum, some of which I actively contributed too.We should Place a link to here on there, and on here to there.
Just like the r6 forum has us listed in the main page on the sidebar. Just a suggestion, so that although theres two forums. At least people are made aware in case somebody needs more opinions on a topic.
EDIT: I thought r6 had us listed but I made a mistake, they list the FZ6 forum. Nevermind, but idea still applies.
