This is an interesting thread to me because, although i've only had a few fill-ups since i got the bike, this last time I decided to try out the Premium octane after only running 87. I wasn't impressed really. Felt the same to me. I thought I would feel a lot more git-up and GOOO!!!!!, but i...

these do look pretty cool, but like was said earlier, the description sounds like just the collar is aluminum. I did a quick google search and found them on NewEnough for the same price but cheaper shipping: Driven D-3 Alumitech Sportbike Grips :: New Enough

HA! Hutchmaster, you beat me to it! you're reading my mind!!!

:welcome: Hey, I'm new here myself, but have been lurking ever since I was thinking about getting an FZ6 and finally getting one back in December. The members of this forum seem really great and know a LOT about these babies!! Hope you find it as awesome as I have been! About the exhausts, I...

Wow, you cold-weather guys are NUTS!! I love riding (who on this forum doesn't :D) but i think my limit has been 40 F and bundling up so my jacket barely zips closed. That's probably like a warm summer day to you guys!! As the kids say these days, "mad propz, son!" HAHA @psnbye - that is...

LOL @ sawing teeth off!! great visual there. like a redneck sprocket missing teeth. I've been thinking about doing the -1 in the front also because it would be a lot easier on the wallet than the whole setup, but I got the bike with 19k miles on it and i really dont know when would be the...

I've been looking for a bluetooth helmet also. thing is, my buddy has a Schuberth helmet with an interior drop down visor and I really like that idea also, since it sucks to ride around a dark night with my smoke visor on if i cant make it home earlier. And since I can't really drop $500+ on a...

yeah, it was AMAZING out today!! I rode out of Manassas and around the middleburg area. wish i could've stayed out longer today! I actually think RT 15 is a straight shot to your neck of the woods (albeit a long one...) !Good to hear that you guys had a good ride! Hoping for a lot more...

I think it's awesome to see such radical innovation, even when most would readily knock their efforts. the only way to advance the current tech is to go out on a limb and see what is possible. Like MotoCzysz completely redesigning the standard combustion engine to create the Counter Revolution...

Holy hell, i forgot how awesome that show was!! I felt like it left us hanging though, ending so quickly with only 2 seasons. I want MORE!! Damn, now i feel like watching it over again....

I also use this method, which I guess you could call the chicken wing method; I keep the knee fully bent like a whole chicken wing, go directly over the saddle, then extend. So sounds like the mounting metaphors seem to be either kung-fu or food-based! I find it works well for me Also, LOL...

You're absolutely right! I was referring to a post the OP made earlier about being worried that they would be "limited to 65 mph in the right lane" on a beginner bike, so I was just relating to that comment and not so much about the actual capability of the 250R. Thanks for pointing that out...

I am a fairly new owner of an FZ6, but I started out on a ninja 500 and I think that was one of the best decisions I made. Learning on that bike was great because it was so forgiving, yet with 500cc instead of 250, you could still have a blast and not redline your top gear at 65 mph - it's...

Thanks! Those look pretty damn comfortable; is that the same kind of memory-foam-like material that ear plugs use? Or can I just buy a bag of these and shove em on my earbuds? Effective and delicious (disclaimer: no longer delicious after use...)

very good point! Thanks for bringing this up. I have been on some long rides where the noise just bothers the crap outta me and you guys are right; it would suck to get hearing loss OR get into some trouble on the road because you're distracted. I've tried wearing some passive noise isolating...

Grew up in Springfield, but moved out to Manassas a couple of years ago. Glad to see so many FZ6s rollin in the metro area!! I just got one myself a few weeks ago; upgraded from an EX-500. So this also happens to be my first post on this forum. I can already tell this forum is gonna be a...
