I'm going to miss you FZ6....Not too much though.

[FZ1inNH]

Just out of the blue........made a call to a dealership 3 hours away from me. Was surprised to hear they still had a '06! Kind of worked out because I really like the silver color best. Not sure what years silver was offered so I didnd't expect to find another one. Mostly red ones for sale around here and I don't really care for those.
The clutch feels very different than the FZ6 felt. Seems to grab right away instead of at least halfway out like my FZ6 was. I never really understood why it was like that. This bike is smooth as silk the second you roll on the throttle.
Looking forward to putting some miles on it!

mmmmmmmmmm miles!!!!

Oh, and time to change the profile bike and the signature.

more pics please!

Congratulations,
Just took the plunge myself. Yes, the clutch is smooth as silk.

more pics please!

Give me a week or so.
Waiting for the FE, integrated tail/brake/turnsignals, and lower fairings to get here.
I'll take some more after I install them.

Signature => '06 FZ1...No mods.......Yet!

Way to go. I would say the extra 399cc's is a great mod to start with! :rockon:

 

[Will i am]

That's a beautiful bike. Silver is a really great looking color on the FZ1. I think it might be my favorite as well.

Did you get a decent trade on the FZ6?

 

[CrazyBiker]

Looks like the trend started with me. Congrats! And yeahh let the mods begin. Lars Airbox, pcIII, IM/PC5, FCE, BMC, Slip-on. I need to install only the serpent headers and the zip the subthrottle plates. What a big difference it made even on my 07. 06 have that famous throttle snatch at 6K rpm.

I knew you'd have to set the record straight! All black is the way I think, but that grey gold combo is sweeeet too!

I think Dennis started a plot to build up the FZ1 side of the forum.

Oh! GREAT looking bike! :thumbup:

LMAO,good one :thumbup:

I just checked to see what my insurance would do if I upgraded,less than $100 per year !

Mick, now you have to!

As much as I loved my FZ6 it doesn't compare to the FZ1. My wife and I rode 275 miles this morning and WOW, what a difference.
Everything is sooooooo much smoother and way more comfortable 2 up.
I made the right choice for sure.
Better clutch, tranny, no buzziness like the 600, etc. I could go on and on.
I love this thing.

Must...resist...urge to upgrade!!

 

[mastakilla]

I had my 2007 FZ6 for a year when I traded it in for a 2006 FJR1300 2 months ago.

I'm never going back

If you can manage it..........by all means DO IT!

Riding by myself was fine on the FZ6........Riding two up though is totally different.

 

[effingham brian]

very sweet looking ride....someday....a liter bike in my future !! (or do you say litre ?)

I concur the silver with gold forks looks awesome !

 

[YamaSpeed]

I have to get out of here before I do something I won't regret.

 

[dako81]

Now you're going to make me look for a good deal on an FZ1. It's the new thing, everyone's doing it...
