FZ6 - the touring machine

[PauliusD]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share how the FZ6 is a great touring machine. If anyone has doubts about touring on this thing - don't worry, it is more than capable. I've ridden mine through Norway, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic. It has seen mountain passes, dirt roads, endless highway miles and even some off road tracks (I tend to get lost...)
It honestly is a great all rounder. Drop the bags at the hotel and go for some twisties in the mountains or eat up miles on the highway. It will keep delivering and will keep a smile on your face.
Sharing some photos of the places this beautiful thing took me. Hoping and planning for much more adventures on the FZ in the future.

Thanks for sharing the photos. The FZ6 is a great all-around bike and incredibly reliable.

Awesome pics! There's a good reason Yamaha marketed this bike as a "Middleweight Swiss Army Knife."

Very nice pics, looks like a great trip. Do you know what windscreen that is on your bike?

Do you know what windscreen that is on your bike?

It's a Puig double bubble screen. It's perfect for my 186cm height as the wind starts hitting somewhere near my neck so removes all the strain from my chest and shoulders. If I were a bit shorter I would guess it would start throwing that turbulent air straight into my helmet and that would not be comfy.
