mxgolf, All stock seat and handlebars. Thanks for the advice.

OK, after now having the FZ6 for a little over a month, it was time for the experiment. I would take my furthest ride today and see how it felt. Being the old guy and coming off a comfy Suzuki Cavalcade, I wondered how an extended ride in the saddle of my Fazer would treat this 55 year old...

Hi Lököttke, Really nice drawings!

After now having my '05 FZ6 for a little over a month, I am really starting to get to know her and am getting a good feel for her. I discovered something new today. For 24 years I had been used to my torquey 1400cc Suzuki Cavalcade and she was happy lugging around at 3000-3500 rpm. I had been...

Hey Man, What's up, Good to hear from you John. It sounds like you have a great weekend lined up with the family. Cool! I did go for a ride on the FZ6 today. I am learning this bike's style the more that I ride it. Today I discovered that I was used to lugging my big old torquey Suzuki...

Good morning John, It's raining here in PA today. Keith Moon - All right! I love The Who. I saw them at the Spectrum in Philly a long time ago. They all came out on stage doing a forward sommersault. Pete Townshend had his guitars numbered and finally ended up smashing #9, I believe it was...

Hey there John, Your new profile pic is great. Is that you? How was your weekend? Janice and I were in Ocean City MD for the Ward World Carving Show which I used to compete in. When I got home today, I saw an interesting post on the site entitled "What was your longest ride?" I had to enter...

Hey there John, How was your weekend? Janice and I were in Ocean City MD for the Ward World Carving Show which I used to compete in. When I got home today, I saw an interesting post on the site entitled "What was your longest ride?" I had to enter a post. Do you have any rides like that...

Houston Texas to Lexington Virginia 1000 miles in 24 hours May 1982 Freak on a GS 850 Suzuki, Stray Barley on a Honda Gold Wing and United States Nels on a GL 1100 Suzuki. Lancaster PA to Minnesota 1100 miles in 24 hours August 1986 Freak on a Suzuki Cavalcade and Stray Barley on a...

OK, I admit it. I am a NASCAR and Denny Hamlin fan and I annually attend the spring Dover race. However, I am tiring quickly of the Johnson-Head dominance and believe I may need another race source. Since purchasing the '05 FZ6 a month ago, my interest in motorcycling racing has perked...

Hi Lokottke, How are you today. Is it biking weather there yet?

All right Lefty, Very cool bikes and descriptions. Seems like you've been through a lot of cycles and a lot of adventures just like me. My 800lb Suzuki Cavalcade was like your Yamaha V-Star. So big and bulky that I rarely got it out anymore and it just wasn't fun to ride unless you were in...

Along with the FZ6 pics, how about some of your travels or other bikes you might have owned.

I remember riding my Suzuki Cavalcade to Sturgis in '86. We were at a gas stop near Rapid City South Dakota and a bunch of Harley Dudes were there too. The one dude comes up behind my bike and starts to stamp out "The little Japs coming out of my muffler". I just looked at him like he was a...

Hey there Lefty. You should post some pictures so we can see some of your stuff.

Nice Chopper. Is that engine from the 70's? I always owned Suzuki's in the past, but several friends rode the 650 Yamaha.

I don't have any pictures, but as soon as I turned 16 in 1970, I went out and purchased a 1967 Suzuki 250cc X-6 Hustler. Wow, what a screamer she was! Kind of reminds me of my '05 FZ6. IT LOOKED LIKE THIS ONE http://www.600riders.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=923&pictureid=6075

I never have popped a wheelie and don't intend to.

Turning 56 in August. I had owned a Suzuki Cavalcade since 1986. What a beast she was, but she was great for all day rides on Interstates which I don't do anymore. Now, with my FZ6, I'm getting back to my roots and the style of riding like I did as a kid. Riding is fun again and I love my...

Here's my resume. It's been a fun ride. 1967 Suzuki 250cc X-6 Hustler (Would jump out of first gear - Wow, she would scream then) 1971 Suzuki T-500 Titan (Cross Country Ride Round I) 1975 Suzuki 750 LeMans (Water Buffalo) (Florida Ride '76) 1977 Suzuki GS750 (Suzuki's first four-stroke)...
