This one is for all of the members in the States. I'm going to be purchasing a new motorcycle instead of used, with a cosigner. I was researching insurance quotes, and I saw that comprehensive and collision may be required if you're financing. I have no problem with paying for good coverage...

In my opinion, graphics on a bike can look over the top even if they're subtle. I think going for a different color than stock will definately set you apart. I always thought that a light copper color would really look sweet (look at the new color of the mitsubishi eclipse for example), or a...

I really didn't mean to step on anybody's toes with that SBN centered thread. I worded my response carelessly, and will be more careful in the future. I just found this forum to be more beginner friendly. I also decided to become a member here after I saw your mod videos on youtube. Amazing...

I agree 100% with that. That is basically what I was saying, I just used words that were less polite. I wasn't expecting anyone to pay much attention to what I said, being a new member as someone pointed out, but now I'll obviously choose my words more carefully. :o

Good thing you're okay. At least you faired better than the guy in that youtube video. He kept it up after hitting a deer head on, but the damage to his bike.....well he sums it up in one word at the end of the video. lol. Ride safe.

All cleared up....I pi**ed a guy off from SBN by saying this forum was better and more beginner friendly.

I'm looking for an '05 silver used. 3500 you say? Where did you buy yours from? Private seller I'm assuming?

:mad: I wasn't trying to knock anyone specifically, and I guess my point got lost in the muck of a little rant. My main point is that I believe this site is alot friendlier to beginner riders, and the lighthearted polls are fine with me. I received a negative reputation point because of...

I'm a bit confused....I was thanked today five times but somehow received a red reputation mark. I haven't done anything to deserve that I don't think....*sigh*

Are you kidding? This site is fantastic for information about the FZ6. I know the "other" forum being referred to, and it is chock full of squids. Here you get useful information to keep you alive and well informed; as opposed to there where you are told what is cool and dangerous and will...

I think the judging of the distance to a stop is the hardest part. It's easy to downshift, just knowing when to is the hard part. Practice makes perfect. Good thread. +1:rockon:

I guess I'm lucky VEGASRIDER lives right by me then....and he rides the same bike. LOL. Thanks for the tips. +1:Sport:

I read the whole article and wholeheartedly agree, as long as the circumstances allow. I live in far NW Las Vegas. It is extremely hilly in the area with steep grades to most roads, and the summers are just brutally hot. After getting out of the area it is flat in most places, but Vegas is...

Hey Danny, VEGASRIDER suggested I drop by and say hello. I live in Vegas as well and I'm planning on getting a used FZ6 as my first bike. My MSF is on July 7-9. We should all keep in touch, it'll be cool to do some rides together once I get my bike. Anyway I was wondering what you paid for...

In all the options I've seen I would have to say the best combonation is a tail bag and saddlebags. There are a couple of kits online. You can get saddle bags that tie to the frame and velcro over the seat. They're easy to remove and carry away too. The tail bag is then clipped into hidden...

I think that this is kind of a non issue, unless you're lazy. I personally would love the lowers for longer rides. Anyone who rides loves being in the wind somewhat, but after awhile on a long trip it can get old. On the other hand if I'm only using the bike for commuting I'd go naked. I...

Lol. Thanks for the tip. I'll definately be looking into that book. The FZ6 is going to be my only vehicle so I need all the help I can get to pass the test. I moved from Chicago in January, and didn't need a car there because of the transportation system. I'm in the NW of Vegas now by Lone...

Hey I'm new to the forum, and plan on buying an FZ6 right after my MSF in July. If you're available after I get some hours and miles under me, maybe we could take a ride through red rock or something if you're game!

If you're worried about wearing a backpack because of the trapped heat, or your just looking to store your gear with your bike, then I found a pretty good setup. It's completely adjustable, so even though I found it on a forum for another bike (GS500E) It would be able to fit the back side of...
