That Guy
Well guys and gals I've been looking at getting an FZ6 for a while now and I finally found one that's in my range. It's a one owner 2008 with 2800 miles, all black with smoked windshield and a cover too. It was an older gentleman's bike so it should be in pristine condition by the way he's describing it. I've raced dirtbikes off road for the last 6 years and I'm a solid B-rider when it comes to that. 2 years ago I bought a 1983 Yamaha Maxim 400 and rode that for a year then sold it to a friend. I think I've got a solid handle on the experience part but I realize riding on the street is still a lot different from riding in the dirt.
Anyways, I'm going to look at it early this week so what kinds of things should I look for, anything I should be weary of? Asking price is $4200 and to me that seems pretty fair considering the amount of time it has on it, age, price compared to new, etc. What kinds of add-ons are the norm around here? I planned on getting some frame sliders but aside from that I wouldn't know what else I might need. I guess I would just have to ride it some and get a feel for it, get some miles on it and then make adjustments from there. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but you guys will bring up the big ideas and improvements that are usually undertaken. Thanks in advance!!!
