I live North of the River ! ... ;P

Well, for me Street Triple R or Z1000 !! But the new Daytona 675 with the Ohlins would be awesome ..... Both nakeds would be an ideal upgrade :)

Ok I'll bite, just came back from a KTM Ride day. Rode a RC8, RC8R and Super Duke 990 (Not the R). My mate managed to ride all of them however and his pick was the STM !!! I have to say the bikes were HORRIBLE. I have to say I don't like V-twins, anything under 4k and they feel like they...

Nah not a member of any Pentax forums, should join up though it would be helpful . I was looking at the Sony A55 then the new Nikon then I read about the new fancy Pentax K-5 and thought that will would be awesome :) Can use my old lenses ! :)

I am part of the Pentax club :) I have a K-5 with 18-55mm Sigma 3.5-5.6 and 70mm-300mm Sigma 4.5-5.6. Still waiting on the Pentax 18-135mm lens though :/ They reckon before xmas but I doubt it :( Still coming to grips with it, it has sooooo many functions !!

re: Down goes my pride & joy! Crash! Grrrrrrr! NOW FIXED! Awwww man that sucks Jamie :( So sorry to hear that. Glad it is only cosmetic damage though and that you are ok. Heal up quick m8!

Thats a nice looking FZ6! :) Naked FTW though!

I dunno about this, my friend says the same thing though you have to be over 8000rpm, however even when at full throttle on the FZ6 on the Triple R all you do is twist the throttle and you zip past the FZ6 very very quickly, could be different gearing ?? And when I am on my FZ6 my mate always...

Looks fantastic Jamie, love the seat, was that hard to do ? Looks like a FZ1 seat too me, was just thinking how hard would it be to graft a FZ1 rear to a FZ6 :)

FZ8 is not a great bike, although was talking to the local Yamaha guy and he reckons it is heaps better than the FZ6, heaps more power and easier to wheelie. If really want the best bike that will knock your socks off and sounds awesome stock go for the Street Triple R, alot cheaper than the...

Looks good :) I think it looks like I will need to cut up my original one as they are as rare as hens teeth ! :/

yeah the grab rails on the pillion, thanks for the info Jb40k, will look into that. Edit : Just done the ebay search on all of them and only found a FZ6R one which looks different :(

Hey all, Was pulling the bike apart yesterday and found out that the grip handles on the rear seem to weigh quite a bit so can anyone tell me where I can find one of these so that I can then butcher and grid down instead of my original :) (Tried searching ebay for fz6 rear grip bar but came...

Does that include shipping ?

Hate is such a strong word !! I would like to see them compared to the FZ1 bars and how much of a change of riding position they give you.
