Hey guys, I sold my bike an dbought a CBR 1000rr 2008,so I have some great condition FZ6 stuff for sale. Custom Painted 'BLUE' AXIO hard tank bag- $80+shipping. (see the pic-or my profile photos) - Bag retails for around $180, plus I paid $100 for the custom paint match. Matches perfect...

The swing arm is nice :thumbup:

Man, I'm pissed a I missed this, post some pics.......keep me in the loop, if you don't mind, next time you guys go out....:thumbup:

I took her out today for the 1st time, it's .....errrr....."a little different". Keep in mind she's on new rubber, and I'm breaking her in, but the power difference is substantial. It's al incredibly light bike for it 1000cc designation in my opinion. I'll report more.....:thumbup:

it's actually not painted, thery are "wapped" in silicone tubing that I bought at the auto store, then split long ways & wrapped around. You can buy a set of the hose that has multiple gauges for around $20, more than enough to do the whole bike, I just did a few.......

and for the record, the two free throw in Dealership T-shirts I got...... 1 RED HONDA, and I couldn't resist......a BLUE YAMAHA! :thumbup:

NO disrespect.....I love the FZ6 and I think the "crowd" that rides 'em is likely more in tune with my riding style, but the thing just didn't fit me....can't tell you why...

Thanks, what's your opinions of it up against your BUELL? I looked at the BUELL's, many of the "centralization" , that Buell is known for has been incorportaed into this bike. The Fuel tank and exhaust are in a lower than "normoal" position...

Thanks, let's do a ride around SD, I think we've ridden before

I just put it on the center stand and took my time, maybe 2 inches at a time, then really press it in, roll the wheel a little, repeat. Hope that helps

Ironically enough, I have a lower back injury and have riden a sportbike before.....Kawi 636.....and I actually found the FZ to be MORE difficult on my back, but that's just probably my one in a million personalized fit problem, not the norm as you mention. I commute, but only about 5 miles each...

I'm ashamed to say that I never quite had the love affair that I know (and respect) many of you do with our beloved FZ6. Maybe it was the gazed look of confusion and the corresponding ....." errr.....you meana R6?" .comments, maybe it's the banana seat or the feeling I had the 1st day she got...

do it! :thumbup:

Hey man, like the fairings! I have an 07 also. would you mind sending me more pics of the fairings on the bike, I'm considering getting them. You can check my profile, my bike looks similiar to yours w/o the lowers......

I got my FZ last October and had been off a bike for 15 years. I found that riding with someone WITH experience is tremendous. Especially if you are new to the streets, you can mimic some of the nuances that an experienced rider will do, like downshifting properly into a turn or riding in...
