    My Wife's 2010 Divi Has Spoiled My FZ6 Ride!

    I actually prefer the diversion to the older FZ6. I loved riding that FZ6R, just didn't feel as peaky as ours, and just as good. Needs a few things to compare to the newer FZ6 though

    Ricor Intiminator fork mod

    I swear I posted earlier about them. I've had them on my bike for a while now and I love them. I actually prefer them to the racetech emulators, and those things are/were awesome. The ricor just give me a little more feed back I find when handling the twisties. I had much stiffer springs in...
