I appreciate the feedback. I'm hoping to find someone who doesn't care about fixing it and is willing to buy as-is. I'd certainly take less than I'm asking, but I'd love to get it gone soon. Does anyone have any interest?

Forum Friends, I've got to clean out some garage space, so the FZ is up for sale. It's been for sale on-and-off for a while, but I'm quickly becoming a motivated seller. The bike is an 06 and only has 950 miles on it. Blasphemy, I know, but I just never got much of a chance to ride it...

Hey there, I haven't been on in a while and don't know if you've found your bike yet (I assume you have), but mine's still for sale. '06, 800 miles on it. Slight scratches, so I'm asking $5200, but I can negotiate something that will make us both happy if you're still looking. -John

I appreciate everyone's help! Even though my apartments is not much bigger than my bike, I'd feel better having it safe while I'm away. Fz6Sa, you mention not tilting the tank, but do you recommend leaving the bike on the center stand as opposed to the side stand? Thanks! -John

Hey guys- It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm glad to be back! I've got a storage conundrum that I could use your help with: I'll be headed out of town for 10 days and, unless anyone in Auburn, Ala. has a garage they want to let me use, I'll be needing a place to leave my bike...

I appreciate the help. I know that if I wait until Spring I should be able to get a good bit more for the bike, but I just need cash more than a toy right now.

Just thought I'd dig this thread up and see if anyone has any Christmas cash to burn. The bike is in Atlanta for the next week, and I really would prefer to sell it instead of toting it back down to Auburn. I'll have it repainted and sell it for as close to $5200 as I can get. Anybody know...

I'm glad you picked it up! I looked at it when he first posted it, but I don't think I ride enough to justify it. :spank: Looks great :thumbup:

...Still trying to sell. The 600-mile service has been completed, and I'll split the cost of repairs with you if you decide to make it like-new again. That's a savings of $200 for the service (I would've done it at home, but I wanted the book signed by a yammie mechanic in case future buyers...

Great shot! Do you mind posting how you took it? I'm still new to the whole photography thing...

Well, I'm back in motivated seller mode. School and work got busy for a while and, with the weather being all right, I was able to either take the bike or steal my girlfriend's car. :thumbup: Now, however, my car is getting worse and my need to sell is getting stronger. Not a good combo for...

That seems in line with the Southeastern market, but I'd have to advise you to buy mine instead! :D It's only got 490 miles on it!

I live right off of Old Fraternity Row/Magnolia Avenue. Your welcome to come by and take a look if you'd like. I appreciate the help and the heads up! The bike is chained up, so hopefully the only person who takes this bike will have to leave some cash first. Sandy Springs is a wonderful...

I appreciate the comments! I'm jealous of you guys who are getting the bikes for such good deals, though. Our dealers are getting $7500 OTD for '07s, this bike was $7300 OTD and I can't find a single good used one on Cycletrader for under $5500. It's nice, though, to get a barometer for the...

I appreciate the support. That is the hope, so expect me to be back in the hunt around May. I just finished putting my slideshow on Photobucket, so here's the link for those interested: http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p108/Thorpiticus/FZ6/Yamaha FZ6/?albumview=slideshow
