REVIEW CONTINUED: Once the odometer hit 200, I ramped up the riding a bit. I have not hit 9000 RPM yet and have not held it above 7000 for an extended period of time. Having said that, when I approached my home today (right at about 300 miles), I noticed that she was MUCH SMOOTHER that...

Man, I suck at math! :confused:

Getting a speeding ticket in a National Park is no big deal, its kinda like someone telling you that a thread topic has already been posted. :Flip:

That last age pole shows 301 responses, with more than half being under 40! :confused: I find that very interesting considering the bike. I would have bet it would have been the other way around! Could it be that some of the old-timers don't use a computer? :eyebrow:

I just traded my 07 VFR in on the FZ6 ! Therefore, I could likely help you out with this by sharing 'my' opinion. The VFR does have more low end torque and when the rpm hit 6500 the VTEC kicks in and the bike comes alive. Running on two valves per cylinder and then 4 valves per cylinder...

Interesting, that "youngest" thread..... I was surprised that there are some pretty young riders participating in this forum. That is cool! Now, who is the oldest person here that still is acting like one of the youngest? I am 51 ( which means I am winning so far ) ! :BLAA:

Sixsix, After 100 miles on the FZ6, let me tell ya, you would have wanted to get back into the FZ! :D

Discgolfdude, Pictures speak louder than words......... :iconbeer:

LERecords............ Hmm. I suspect we are in the same profession. ;)

Geoff, Silver is a great color, no doubt about it.......... SEXY! But everyone knows black is the fastest! :D

I just bought the FZ6! :thumbup: A guy that I ride with has both the FZ1 and FZ6. I asked him which bike he enjoyed riding most. He told me the FZ6 was by far more fun and added that a FZ1 could not pull away from the FZ6 on the twisties. Straight line (boring), that is another story. He...

Elizabeth, I am a policeman and work weekends every other week. I would love to ride with you guys sometime. Here is my email. [email protected]

Mrphotoman, What does the 15 tooth sprocket do? :confused: I don't know the size of the standard front sprocket. Lower rpm at speed or more torque?

You could be right, if topspeed.com is a European group. Here is what they said in their review of the 2009 FZR: "Still, in 2009, the Yamaha FZ6 stands out thanks to the same old recipe: a light, comfortable and versatile overall package powered by a more than decent number of horses that...

As I have read, the Comfort Seat became standard equipment in 2009, and yes it is comfortable! :thumbup: Not found anything I don't care for yet...... :BLAA:

Got mine today! Amazing bike at a give away price!!! :thumbup:

Okay, I posted earlier that I was trading the 07 VFR and getting a left over 09 Z6. Furthermore, as I stated in my first post, I have only owned Honda MC's or Harley Davidson MC's. I was anxious!! Got the bike at about noon today and began a little ride. Only did about 100 miles because I...

My schedule is not the best either but I am off every other weekend. I love riding with groups! You can count me in! When I am not limited to using my phone to reply, I will send you a message with contact info.

Just got off the phone with the dealer. The bike will arrive tomorrow in a crate, and be preped and ready to pick up by noon on Friday! :wav: The even better news is, I am off Fri-Sat-Sun, and the weather forecast for the St. Louis area is great! :rockon::sinister: Sorry for being...

Great comments. I have read many posts were guys mention vibration around 5K and smooth again at 6k. You want to feel vibration, take a HD Softail (rigid mount motor), for a spin. It can put your arms to sleep! Once again, I am plagued by the break-in period....... I absolutely will...
