Absolutely.

But the first mods will be :
- Crash protection
- Aftermarket exhaust
- Small plate holder

@ Cloggy: yes we can subtract EVERYTHING that's bike-related from taxes :thumbup:
My dad even uses my bike as a second deduction, apparently tax authorities don't think it is strange he uses two bikes and two full sets of gear to commute

congrats Bram. Awesome deal. i hope the new ride serves you as well as the 6

on a side note---did you sell your fz 6 complete with the sexy led taillight you put on it some time ago?

if you kept the taillight i would like to buy it off you please. thx

 

[Cloggy]

Congratulations on the purchase, ........
By the way, if you are using your motorbike for commuting you can even subtract the VAT, another 21% saved.

I'm so jealous of you guys getting tax free bikes and gear, I guess I should move south of the border

It seems a good idea though, this way more people will ride bikes and help solve the rush hour traffic :thumbup:
I also think it is only reasonable that if the government makes the wearing of protective clothing compulsary that you can deduct tax on it :thumbup:

:hijack:......:spank:

Bram, good to hear you'll be getting an after market exhaust, as the standard exhaust is the only thing IMO that looks out of place :thumbup:

Cloggy,

With the FZ6, I waited 2 years, before fitting the akrapovic's.
When they were installed, riding the bike was 50% more fun.

I also did not have the urge to ride fast and hard. I love cruising in the lower RPM, and enjoying the deep exhaust sound.

that's the main reason for the aftermarket exhaust. that it looks way better on the bike is also a plus :thumbup:

Amen to That.
It has been wintering for almost 6 months now. I'm hoping for a long summer to balance things out
