so yes, im a total newb;
to this site
to the fz6
to motorcycling altogether pretty much.
i am a 'gearhead' though. ive been into heavily modified (read: beaten to hell and barely street legal) 4x4 trucks for several years. ive also spent several years working on ski lifts and now work for a company building them.
been seriously wanting to get a bike for about 3 years now, but time, money or the lack of being in the country prevented me.
I came home from 5 months of travelling around southeast asia a couple weeks ago and decided i had nothing better to do than to get my liscence and a bike.
I had no idea as to one-from-the-other; i wanted something that would be fun and able to ride for severl hours at once. after shopping for a while i concluded you were left with the choice of 3 things to buy:
-a cheap used bike with high mileage and usually beat up
-a decent used bike, priced often higher than a new bike
-a shiney new off the lot set of wheels
being new to the sport i didnt really want to buy a new bike just to scratch it up as many new riders do. i aslo didnt want someones old headache as i plan to use it as my primary transportation.
well, lucky for me i just out of luck i stumbled across a USED '07 FZ6 with only 800km and still under warranty at a steal of a deal - so i took it and i haven looked back!
im very pleased with the bike so far, which is bone stock except for the frame sliders it came with already and sticker peeling frenzy i went on today.
so hello to everyone!
