1.) Isn't that sportbike uncomfortable after 5 minutes? 2.) Did you drop the bottom fairing somewhere?

You always pay for what you get, and sometimes you do get what you paid for... Found out PU leather is actually SYNTHETIC, man-made stuff. Yeah, the stitching looks pretty shoddy work. Just don't want to drop $400-$500 for a good leather jacket. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey guys, just found this while cruising fleabay, was wondering what the collective opinion was on these jackets. Seem to come straight from China, $100 delivered, 100% PU leather with the Yamaha logos and stuff. Thoughts? Link; Motorcycle Racing YAMAHA R1 PU LEATHER BLUE Jacket : eBay Motors...

Yeah, I have that problem too. Hard to believe I snatched her up more than 10 years ago... Lucky man, if I do say so myself. And btw, she prefers me wearing ATGATT than any other biker who is "too cool" for protective gear. So, you young guns (you know who you are) take note.

Pretty much sums it up: save your "need for speed" until you get to the track, preferably with a one-piece leather suit. Good eye-opener.:thumbup:

Well, why not? Just took these...

Consistent 51-53 MPG range, for the last 4,xxx miles. That includes canyon carving and commuting in a docile-like manner :D

Congrats on the impending purchase! :Flash: You'll love the FZ6 in a matter of days. Good thing the fuel gauge issue was brought up: the SV650 really needs it even with the good fuel economy. I hated just seeing that "low fuel" light come on, kinda had to do the math in my head for how many...

You are in the same place I was about 6 months ago: keep my SV650S or trade-up for a FZ6 or FZ1? Thoughts on each: SV650S: put about 2500 miles on a 2007 model. Great torque off the line, low rpm operation doesn't get you all wound up. Brakes are great, suspension is so-so, handling was...

52 MPG average in 4200 miles. Combined city + hwy miles, this is even better than my TDI ("only" gets 43 MPG).

VERY hot bike, me likes a lot! Kinda miss the SV 650 I started on; loved that low-down rumble and torque. I'm considering another Twin, either V or Parallel, but we'll see. Congrats and enjoy!!!

Have you looked at the Metzeler Roadtec Z6? Great tires, if a little pricey. These are OEM on BMWs, if that helps any... Well-known for longevity and grip. Link to info: METZELER - Roadtec Z6 Concept

I'd love to go guys, I make it a point to go up in the mountains at least once or twice a week. This Father's Day weekend, I can't. Maybe next week? We could do a group ride perhaps? Nice to see other FZ6 owners in the ATL, don't be strangers guys.:thumbup:

Hi guys, I run around the north side of town as well, usually once every couple weeks. My routes include Hwy 129 up to Blairsville, Hwy 280 W/E depending, Hwy 60 and GA400/Hwy 19. I also run around closer to home, in the Braselton/Lawrenceville/Flowery Branch area. I ride with my cousin...

$207 from these guys, shipped. Maybe you can find it cheaper? Tour Master Coaster Air II Jacket - RevZilla Motorsports
