So, every time someone asks "What kind of bike do you have?" I always get this feeling of 'Geez, do I really have to try to stutter through F...Z...6...R..., because I know this schmoe has never heard of it?'
Sometimes, I go ahead and just say it's a Yamaha and explain that it's a sport bike, but not a supersport. However, today I went ahead and mumbled the whole deal out to a worker at Arby's who saw my helmet.
He then started asking more questions about where I bought it and such. Come to find out that he was looking at the 2010 White / Red model at the closest dealer to me. He was pretty impressed that I guessed the color when he told me where he found it. (It's the only one they have )
It was neat to talk to someone who was into the sport as I am now. He explained how he had an old Ninja ZX6, but crashed and broke his wrist and is now needing something like ours with the upright seating. He said he really liked the FZ6R, so I made sure to tell him how happy I was with mine.
Long post, but my wife won't think this story is as cool as you will, so this is where it gets said!
Bottom line... Promote our bike! Let everyone know how great it is and how much you love it! Maybe we can get more Americans to enjoy this style of bike and build a bigger market for it.
