So I pulled out my owners manual (not that that is a definitive source) and the cover of it says it is an FZ6-ST (manual part# 5VX-28199-71). My "Model Label", on the sticker under the seat is 5VXA-010 --- and under that is the letter A. The VIN sticker doesn't look like it has anything...

Ok. So follow-up question, when I'm looking for parts in the USA can I use either the 2005 model ST or STC as equivalent? I'm assuming the USA designates are ST/STC as per the service manual. To be specific I'm looking at some replacement plastic and it's nearly $100 cheaper out of the...

So I have an 2005 FZ6 (Canadian model) and I'm trying to figure out what version it is? I see the manual is for the ST and STC versions, so which is mine?

Checking bolts and wear is one of the main reasons I wash my bike. I like having the bike clean but more importantly I've found more loose bolts while washing than any other time.

Ooops - it's a 2005 model. That is about 2,050 miles and about $4700 USD. I'm only wondering because I'm thinking of selling it and want to know what a fair asking price would be.

I don't think I have to ask but I paid $5000 Canadian for a 2005 with 3300KM on it (yes 3,300 km) - what do you think of that price?

That is great info re: the 250 Ninja. I have looked at the Ninja as well as the new CBR 125. What did you and your wife think of the Ninja riding position? I did not sit on it and worry that it may be to much sport bike tuck/hunch? Is it just as upright as the FZ? Can you get the pressure...

The other rider is a new mom and her husband doesn't ride so the bike just sits most of the time. She feels guilty about that - or she's lying and out to buy an R1! :) My wife is worried about bashing up a shinny new bike. She had a little spill on the CB 125 trainer and now accepts the...

So, my wife is just finishing the MSA course and I have been shopping for a bike for her. Since she is a very new rider we were thinking about an old 400cc beater as a starter. Then I ran into a 2005 FZ6 with 3500 KM (2200 Miles). Never in the rain, single girl owner, never dropped. Pretty...
