Since 2006 ABS have been an option on all FZ6 (N or S versions).
I would not think you can add it afterwards, - it takes a lot of wirering etc. so I would think its either there from factory or not at all.

So you can get ABS in the states??? If so the FZ6 just got bumped to #1 contender for next bike.

I want to kick Yamaha if they don't put ABS in the US. I would pay a good solid extra 1k, maybe more, for ABS.

Unfortunately they don't have it here. I'd like to kick them too. I'm thinking of trading mine in for an Interceptor with ABS which kind of pisses me off since I love the Fizz and I know they'll screw me on the trade in.

Before you get to grumpy about it,- keep in mind that a FZ6 is 28000,- US$ here in Denmark .......... So we pay for our extra choices ....

Are you kidding? $28,000 US? The average annual salary in Denmark must be $100,000 US.

Average annual salary in 2008 was: 50000 US$ ...........
And from that you pay 50% or more in taxes .......
wait, just to clarify, a 2007-2008 FZ6 is $28,000.00 US DOLLARS IN DENMARK. ??????????????

Yes, it is about 28000 US dollars...we pay 180% import tax on all motor vehicles.
I think it is the second highest in the world next to India, which is why you do not see many "Nice" bikes in India.
Having said that we also have no national debt and 3% unemployment so I think someone is doing something useful with our taxes. I think most of us in Denmark have a good standard of living.
I am English and have lived here for 6 years so I am able to see the difference between England and Denmark better than most. Denmark is a much better to place to live.
If I have to pay extra taxes for that then I will. After all a bike is a luxury and our housing is relatively cheap.

not so much as 28.000 USD, more likely like 19.000 USD (110K Danish Kronas) which is still ridiculously high when most of europe gets it for about 10000 USD
perhaps if you (denmark) decided to join the Euro you would have more of a consumer power.
i got mine FZ6N S2 WITH ABS, some months ago and i paid 7500Eur ( 10200USD)
oh, i got it in greece where 7500 eur is equivalent of a low level wage (most of the greek workforce) for 10 Months.

Well,- the older models will always be a bit cheaper, - more like 22k.
But the latest model would run you 25k - 28k yes.

Um, yup. That'd be me...
And now it's about that abs-urd pricing of motos in europe.
I thought it was going to be a thread about the importance of core strength and posture relative to riding and all that sort of thing...silly me.
And now back to our discussion of expensive motorcycles...

I was glad it wasn't about abs! I thought we were all going to be posting up our pics of us at the gym!
Thank you very much for it being about A.B.S.!!!
