Real world FZ6 based info here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/tire-tech-talk/52556-continental-road-attack-vs-ra2.html Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Apparently the more recent MT/FZ-09 have a different map so the snatch is either fixed or not as bad. And let's face it, if you can ride an FZ6 you can cope with poor fueling off a closed throttle. About triples vs I4s, I've been getting used to a Sprint 1050st recently, and the triple is so...

Thought I'd get that logged while I'm waiting to wax the Triumph. It rolled over the 50k mark somewhere in Holland last weekend. It's a 2006 FZ6N, bought in 2013 as maybe the fifth owner, at 9,800 miles. Oil, oil filter, air filter every 6000 miles, sparks every 12,000. Chain and sprockets...

Yeah, my FZ6 is naked so I know exactly what you mean about wind blast. I definitely want another naked as I just find them easier to live with in the depths of winter. Do you think it would be worth going up to the Speed Triple with the litre engine, instead of the 675(?)? Sent from my E5823...

How does the street compare to the FZ6? I've been getting used to a Sprint 1050st ABS as a "posh", weekend bike recently, and I'm loving the litre triple. The plan is to run the FZ6 in to ground as a commuter and scrap it when it dies in a year or four. Would love another Brit triple to replace...

Hate the seat unit. Love the rest. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Aerostitch are expensive (they were the famously expensive brand I couldn't remember, before I had chance to look through the link). Look at the Spada one, and there are plenty of others in the US (you never see them in the UK) for around $200-300, that I found with a quick Google the other...

Something like the Spada one piece textile suit would probably be your best bet. http://www.spadaclothing.co.uk/productdetail.php?subcat=7&cat=2&product=1539&productname=System There is apparently another brand, in America, that does something similar, for five times the cost. I read a review...

I got home yesterday morning. Had my stop in Cuxhaven again, and made the ferry at Rotterdam with an hour or two to spare. Quick question for Cloggy were you buy any chance on a blue FZ6, wearing white and blue leathers on the motorway near Arnhem on Saturday morning by any chance?

Well, I'm all packed up and ready for the long ride home tomorrow. A couple of trips to update on from the last couple of weeks. I did another lap of the fjord and remembered to stop for photos this time. I had a good trip out to the Viking Centre at Fyrkat on a grey Saturday morning...

I've got a Triumph Sprint 1050st. Not had much time with her yet though. My Mrs also isn't a fan of the back seat on the FZ6, I'm not sure if this will be much better. But we do have am airhawk inflatable pad for her now, which alleviates the pressure point problem she has. One thing it will...

Dislikes: Torque (or lack there of) In-line four "buz" Alarm battery drain Difficult U turns (wide renthals put clutch or throttle at the limit of my reach at full lock, depending which way round I'm going) Performance two up Likes: Easy to ride Easy to work on Easy to clean Comfortable...

I've got one. I didn't install it myself, but looking at it now I certainly could have done. My reservoir is on the right side subframe, with the vacuum supply running from the gauge point on cylinder four, the delivery line running down behind the engine block on to the left side of the...

A good run up to Skagen (say the "g" as a "y", whilst pretending you have a potato in your mouth, and you're prety much fluent in Danish right there) this afternoon, the very northern tip of Denmark, where the North Sea rounds the corner towards the Baltic. Loads of bikes out and plenty of good...

Made it out again, and managed to stop for pictures too! If you look at that sat nav screen shot from before, I did a big southeasterly square. I went east from Aalborg along the fjord to a place called Egense, then south along the coast to Odde, where I found this little spot: Then I...

Had a nice little ride out after work yesterday. Took the bike along the fjord on the south bank, then looped round the top. Some stunning scenery, unfortunately I didn't stop for photos as I was enjoying the relatively empty roads too much and really got in a good flow with it. Mostly rolling...

I'd get lost or dizzy. Or both. That's epic. And the bike looks stunning too. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

The only reason I stopped there was because I'd seen the big dyke on the map and wanted to cross it. It was also a convenient point for a break as I generally chop particularly long trips up in to about two hour segments. I can do more in one go, but not more than once (so I can do a four hour...

I've made to Aalborg! I'm absolutely knackered. Left Rotterdahm at about 1000 yesterday morning, and mostly broke the journey up in to two hour stints. My first stop was for lunch in Weirengerwierf, Holland. Then I rode through to Nieuweschans (I think) right on the German border for some...

So, this year I've been working in Denmark. I've done eleven weeks so far, with five more to go. Fortunately, I managed to wangle a ferry ticket on expenses from work (apparently it saved them money over the price of the flights they've been booking). While I've bought a new (to me) Triumph...
