    FZ1S alternative, for those thinking for move from FZ6S

    It's an adjustable windscreen in three different positions. I have a feeling it would be announced for the US October 5th....check out the Kawasaki web site. Looks great and same idea as the CBR1100XX - a little sportier/smaller than the ZX14. Curious what the wet weight will be.

    The VFR dilema

    CCHouskey: I know. I saw one that has heated grips, full luggage including top case, a 2009 model (2008+ had a couple of useful mods), 6k miles and new tires for $7900. It was a beautiful black, but couldgn't get to ride it in time before it sold for $7500!. Like I said, this one VFR I am...

    First Ride on FZ6 - Impressions

    I think sales in the US were starting to dwindle and most of the bikes being sold were sold for well under MSRP. Now, the MSRP was very low to begin with, so I do think Yamaha was not making money on it. Overall, a great bike.

    The VFR dilema

    Thanks for the advise. I am at the point where I need to replace tires on my Yamaha and am trying to decide if I should start investing in it or change to something else after 2.5 years. My friend has a 1993 VFR which he has had for 11 years and loves it. I am 5'8" and my only fear is that the...

    The VFR dilema

    So, I came across a great deal on a 2007 used VFR in the 25th anniversary edition. The price is under $5k and it looks to be in good shape. I have had my FZ6 since new in April, 2008 and put 10,300 mils on it almost all city. I ride the FZ6 in the rain and two-up, almost exclusively in the...

    FZ1 or FZ8, which one?

    Hard decision. You are offerred too little for all the equipment you have on your bike - maybe you should sell that stuff separately. As for the FZ1 vs. FZ6, I do like the looks of the FZ8 better. The main advantage of the FZ1 is that it has been around and you can buy a slightly used one for...

    Seeking more low-end torque

    OK, so now that I have a Ducati Monster 696 to share with my wife and have ridden a BMW F800ST for 10 days and 2500km in Europe I am really feeling the need for more low-end torque. Most of my riding is in Boston. What would you guys suggest be a worthwhile modification (aside from getting a...

    Suspension on 1?

    I've also experimented a lot. It is a matter of taste. I don't go below 3 and most of my riding is in Boston with bumpy roads. I left it now at 4 with/without my wife (125lbs) on the back because I am too lazy to switch. It makes the ride softer for her and a little more harsh for me when I go...

    Yamaha lowered seat

    OEM, 3cm lower than stock. Ordered from Germany and paid $355 two years ago. Now that I am much more comfortable on my bike and have ridden taller bikes I decided to put my original seat back. Would part for $200 if someone is interested. It's in very good shape.

    Yamaha lowered FZ6 seat

    Installed my regular seat back now that I am more comfortable. Took the wife for a test ride and she is comfortable as well. Am willing to sell the lowered seat if anyone is interested. PM me. I paid an arm and a leg and had a friend ship it from Germany.

    Re: '06 FZ6 for sale in Boston: $3575 I found my cycleworld and it is not in it - probably was motorcyclist magazine, but I can't find the journal. I could email you a scanned version of the article when I find it.
