Well, yes, some riding pants would be a great investment in case I ever went down. It's on my list of things to get, but not necessarily at the top. Point noted.

One thing I noticed about this bike compared to my GS500F... It sure is confidence inspiring. I hope that doesn't turn out to be a bad thing...

Yup. I have this planned for tomorrow or Monday.

Sig updated! I'll definitely be getting a new windscreen. Smoked black one should look slick!

That's the plan! I need to get some frame sliders on this thing though, just in case. I am SO happy with this thing. It suits my needs so perfectly that once I found this site I knew there wasn't another bike out there (under $10k) that would suffice. I owe alot to this forum for the...

I picked up my brand new Raven '08 FZ6 today from Honda East in Toledo, OH. $5876 out the door! I emailed Scott Johnson and he gave me the no hassle OTD price right over email. Easiest vehicle purchase I've ever made. I was in and out of the dealership in less than 45 minutes. I rode it home...

I ended up finding a brand new 2008, thanks though!

Ok I should have the cold weather gear covered: Thermal Pants/Shirt T-Shirt Hooded Sweatshirt Windbreaker Jacket Riding Jacket Knit Hat that fits under my helmet Fleece Neckgaurd (THICK) Fleece Glove Liners Grabber Heaters for gloves Pair of hunting gloves that I THINK is wind repellant, if not...

Thanks guys. I think I'm just going to ride back roads for 10-20 miles and make sure to give it lots of varied RPMs before getting on the highway. I read somewhere that the first 20 miles is whats really important. I don't know how true that is but it makes sense. Once on the highway I'll just...

I planned on having the oil changed right away for sure. I don't have a truck....or a trailer. Nor do I have one available. Unfortuneatly this is Ohio, it won't be out of the 40's/50's for another month at the least. I'm hoping there isn't much traffic, that way I can randomly slow down to 40...

I know I mentioned this in my intro thread, but I could really use some advice. I'm picking up a leftover 2008 FZ6 soon, and I have an issue. The dealership is a little over 2 hours and 130 miles away. The route consists of 1 mile to the turnpike, 121 miles on the pike, and about 9 miles between...

Not sure about the 2009's, but I just stole my 2008 for $5850 OTD from Honda East in Toledo.

I got to KSU too. Craigslist is the best way to find a cheap bike. Use crazedlist.com to search multiple sites. You can try State 8, but don't go in without doing research first. They're trying to sell bikes above blue book in this economy, and sadly people still buy them. I'm getting my 2008...

I live in Cuyahoga Falls. There any FZ6 riders that live in NE Ohio? Would love to find some people to ride with.

Can't wait til I can post my new bike here. Once I get the break-in completed I plan on buying a Corbin Gun/Lady and finding a good tank and saddlebags. Gotta leave room for the girl though haha.

Yea I have found lots of good info on here, unfortuneatly they all say the same thing...don't go on highways! haha. I guess I'll just have to try and keep my speed changing between 55 and 75. That'll get annoying by the time I finish the 2 hour ride.

Well my issue with the highway isn't the speed. 6th gear should easily cruise the speed limit under 7k RPM. But I've heard that you shouldn't keep your bike at a constant RPM for long stretches during the break in period.

Oh I plan on taking it up there for the first service just to rub it in haha. My only problem now is that the dealership is 121 away and it's all highway. So the bikes firt 121 miles are going to be freeway and I know thats not a good way to break it in. Not sure what to do, back roads would...

Good thing they didn't accept my offer! I just talked with Honda East in Toledo,OH. Setup a deal for a brand new '08 Raven for..... $5850 OTD! Holy crap!

I'm looking to buy an FZ6, preferably red (I hear they're better than the blue ones), and preferably an 07. Would like it to be stock, not looking for anything with any performance modifications. A corbin seat would be nice, as well as frame sliders, soft bags, or a chin cowl. I don't have a...
