Well I have been looking at a local listed 2006 FZ6 with 8k miles on it for the past couple weeks and today I bit the bullet and went to look at it finally. I have been researching them the past couple days, and I found this forum. I have been lurking around and finally decided to post and get y'alls opinion on this bike. First of all sorry if this is in the wrong forum and thanks for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from this forum about this bikes.
This won't be my first bike I have rode, i have rode r6 quite a bit before while I was storing it. This however will be my first bike I have owned. This bike has been listed for a couple weeks and I called today expecting it to be gone, it wasn't. So after work I went to look at it with a buddy of mine, we get there and it has been owned by this same owner since 07 when he bought it new. This bike was in excellent condition, not a scratch, mark, or dent on it and has been garage kept. He was a elderly man who just didn't have anyone to ride with anymore and had picked up bike riding. So I am almost positive it hasn't been ragged out and has been taken care of like a million dollar machine. It has a brand new back tire, because the old one hit a nail he old tire got plugged and he just felt safer buying a new one. Front tire probably had 30% tread. He was asking $3800, I got him down to $3650 including 2 HJC helmets, one full face, the other some funky flip up. I put a deposit on it and I am picking it up first thing tomorrow morning.
So do y'all think i am getting a decent deal? Sorry for such the long post I am pretty excited about the bike and was just wanting to get y'alls opinion.
