Goodbye My FZ6!

[Al Theman]

Sad to report but I said goodbye to my 2009 FZ6 tonight, she is in good hands though and will get plenty of miles with the new owner, who rode away with a big smile on his face.
I'm now looking forward to riding the new "Aprilia Shiver 750" that I'm buying, a different animal altogether and cannot be as reliable as the FZ6 has been. But hey, nothing ventured nothing gained.
I would like to thank all the members of this Forum for the interesting and informative posts found here. I have learned a lot reading on here and will definitely be periodically returning.
Therefore sayonara but not goodbye.

Just so the rest of us know what kind of bike it is...

I saw an image titled "Aprilia Naked Passion" and the pic was really nice but couldn't post on the forum because of the naked part... and it wasn't the bike but the 3 ladies with the bike.

Looks like you'll have a nice machine there. Enjoy!

Very nice choice! That bike looks awesome.

Hi guys (and gals) I changed my mind and am now not getting the "Shiver 750", I am moving over to the dark side and tomorrow (Sat) I pick up a new 2009 model Aprilia Tuono 1000 R, whooee! I guess there is no fool like an old fool after all.
I've test rode both bikes and believe there is not much difference in wet weight between the two, can't find any information regarding that, except dry weight which is almost meaningless these days. Anyone got a clue to the wet weight of the "Aprilia Tuono 1000 R".

Now your making sense. Get a nice pipe and that will be one sweet sounding machine. Pics please when you get it home.

What does 22 litres of petrol and 3 litres of oil weigh? Add that to 185kg and you should be close enough.

Actually the Tuono "dry weight" that is stated online by Aprilia is quote "without battery". What use is that? go weigh bloody battery's?
