Having owned the FZ6 since April and waving to every motorcycle rider, I thought "Wow, the Harley riders are even waving". But then I purchased my Fieldsheer Congo Mesh Jacket and ever since the first day I wore it on a ride, the Harley dudes stopped waving back. What's up with that? Like I've...

I am psyched. Janice and I will be attending our first ever AMA race at Virginia International Raceway on August 13-15. I was wondering about a couple of things at the race event: I was hoping to take along a couple of bag chairs and walk the perimeter of the track and pick out certain good...

Ready to turn 56 in August, but feel like I'm 20 again on the FZ6!

Dude, Looks like a fantastic time! I want to do that!!

mxgolf, All stock seat and handlebars. Thanks for the advice.

OK, after now having the FZ6 for a little over a month, it was time for the experiment. I would take my furthest ride today and see how it felt. Being the old guy and coming off a comfy Suzuki Cavalcade, I wondered how an extended ride in the saddle of my Fazer would treat this 55 year old...

After now having my '05 FZ6 for a little over a month, I am really starting to get to know her and am getting a good feel for her. I discovered something new today. For 24 years I had been used to my torquey 1400cc Suzuki Cavalcade and she was happy lugging around at 3000-3500 rpm. I had been...

OK, I admit it. I am a NASCAR and Denny Hamlin fan and I annually attend the spring Dover race. However, I am tiring quickly of the Johnson-Head dominance and believe I may need another race source. Since purchasing the '05 FZ6 a month ago, my interest in motorcycling racing has perked...

I remember riding my Suzuki Cavalcade to Sturgis in '86. We were at a gas stop near Rapid City South Dakota and a bunch of Harley Dudes were there too. The one dude comes up behind my bike and starts to stamp out "The little Japs coming out of my muffler". I just looked at him like he was a...

I don't have any pictures, but as soon as I turned 16 in 1970, I went out and purchased a 1967 Suzuki 250cc X-6 Hustler. Wow, what a screamer she was! Kind of reminds me of my '05 FZ6. IT LOOKED LIKE THIS ONE http://www.600riders.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=923&pictureid=6075

I never have popped a wheelie and don't intend to.

Turning 56 in August. I had owned a Suzuki Cavalcade since 1986. What a beast she was, but she was great for all day rides on Interstates which I don't do anymore. Now, with my FZ6, I'm getting back to my roots and the style of riding like I did as a kid. Riding is fun again and I love my...

Here's my resume. It's been a fun ride. 1967 Suzuki 250cc X-6 Hustler (Would jump out of first gear - Wow, she would scream then) 1971 Suzuki T-500 Titan (Cross Country Ride Round I) 1975 Suzuki 750 LeMans (Water Buffalo) (Florida Ride '76) 1977 Suzuki GS750 (Suzuki's first four-stroke)...

Since I purchased my '05 FZ6 about a month ago, I find myself in my garage just starring at the beautiful lines of the Yamaha, just like I did with my bikes when I was younger. I love it! I have the passion again!!
