It's probably because you were riding the faster red version. ;) Seriously, though, B-mode is FANTASTIC for commuting. STD is great for everything else, and A-mode is just a hooligan machine!

Looks great, chevy! I still prefer my 9er just a weeeee bit more ;)

Of course it's my fault! I'll take that blame happily! Ride as many as you can, buy what your heart tells you to.

Hey hey! As someone who literally just went through this whole debacle after selling his fz6... TEST RIDE EVERYTHING TIL YOU FALL IN LOVE. Seriously, test ride everything you can. I did tons of research on specs and everything possible and I LOVE the daytona675. Seriously, one of my...

Not anymore! My FZ-09 has a gear indicator haha. I don't ever use it.. but it's there!

I did notice this, but I'd been rocking the OSO2k rearset setback plates for over a year so i didn't notice it too much. Around here it's fine because the roads are twisty enough you're constantly moving around.

With a new seat I actually think it would be great! I've put 210 miles in 2 days on it and toward the end of the days when I was on the highway my butt started getting a little sore (I don't have a lot of padding there haha. New seat and maybe a touring windscreen. Or don't... you'll still be...

Not sure. I'll check today and let you know!

Oh, looking good! Glad to see another fz-09 on here!

SECOND UPDATE TIME!!! Right, so after some awesome paperworking, the bike got delivered at 2 pm today! (Woot woot!) This meant that I took it out promptly for a 110 mile ride, since I have this week off. Let me preface this by saying I'm doing an easy break in. I'm not sure if it's needed...

Right, so I'm officially moved to Northglenn Colorado! (Hooray!!!) Before I left, I sold my poor FZ6 to a good friend's dad.She'll get taken care of for sure. I thought when I got here I'd scrap the idea of having a bike, and get a sports car instead! I test rode a 2012 WRX Hatch and LOVED...

Even if I decided otherwise, she's officially found a new home. ViviiFZ6's dad has wanted that bike since I bought it, so he had first dibs. She's going to a loving home now. Now then... on to bike shopping!!!! :rockon:

I have done that as well. The other thing is, it's making me sell a few other things I don't/won't need, like furniture and such. I would have had to store it for at least 3 months when I got there at $115/mo. This way I have a fresh start, and some cash in my pocket to do the things I really...

I'm kind of in the same boat. My bike will likely be sold tonight. (sad day) So I'll be looking at what to get. I'm currently torn between the FZ-09, daytona 675, some sort of dual sport/sumo, speed triple... I think I keep coming back to the daytona 675 because I've just loved it for so...

Cost, and the ability to start over. It was going to cost me $1,000 to rent a penske truck to drive from MI to boulder. I know it's tax deductible, but on top of that I'll have to rent a storage unit for everything else for at least a couple months at $115/mo. Ran the numbers and figured out...
