Hey guys!

Been a lurker for a while and finally decided to jump in the fray.

A little about myself. I am 38 years old and been riding for over 20 years. Currently ride an o9 Busa. Traded an 06 for the o9.

I have ridden a FZ6 quite a bit and love the feel and handling. Feels kinds like a Schwinn after getting of the Busa and this is in no way a put down. The weight difference is amazing. The FZ I have rode belongs to my brother-n-law.

As he is trying to sell it I will be around with numerous questions as I am seriously considering buying it from him. Looking for a bike for me and also my wife a ride of her own. I think this one should fit the bill nicely.

Welcome.........hope you buy the bike. It's a great fit for just about everyone. You're not the only Busa owner on this forum (not me).

Pull the trigger and buy it. I have only been riding about a year, and the FZ6 exceeded all my expectations. You'll see alot of comments about the comfort of the seat and the 1st to second gear cluck. Again, I have been riding for about a year and use the bike as my primary means of transportation, so my butt is now trained. The first to second gear clunk can be negated by higher rpm shifting about 5K.

Overall great bike

Thanks and it is a 06 with 2100 miles. I can get it for about 3k. Any problems or such that I should know about or be worried about?

Wow...that's a great price. I say jump on it!

 

[Have2BeFree]

That's a great price - I say go for it as well. I know the 05 was recalled for the throttle position sensor (TPS) found out the hard way so you may want to check into that in the 06 models.

Wow. That is a great price.

You could buy it now and sell it for the same price in 2 years / 20k miles. It's practically free.

Buy and fly!

 

[Cali rider]

Just buy it.

Check it over, install new tires if they are original (3-4 year old tires may not be safe if the bike has been stored where it's exposed to sunlight), change all the fluids and enjoy. If it's not for you, you will be able to sell it in the spring for everything you put in to it.
