Not mine either...mine has a 52 liter top case and Puig screen, so easy to tell

I use Shell Rotella T synthetic. As you mentioned, other non energy conserving oils should be fine. I use Shell because a lot of people have experience with it on this fourm

Nice trip and pics!

Beautiful bike! If I was just not so vertically challenged...8-) That triple is an awesome engine.

Re: Feelers for a 2009 New England Meet First two choices better for me since I am not working. I'm scheduled to work the other weekends. If you choose one of the weekends that I can't and it is enough in advance I may be able to switch. Day trip also better for me in general. Thanks for...

I would be up for a ride. I just need some advanced notice since I work a lot of the weekends. 99% of my riding has been commuting into Boston. 8-(

I doubt the R1 and R6 sell better worldwide. They probably do sell better here since most riders here get weekend bikes. The R1 & R6 are very uncomfortable for daily commuting. The beauty of the FZ6 is its overall package which is why it sold well. It's competition is getting much better (look...

That's a decent price for a nic looking bike

Norm: get the bike if you want the bike so much - life is short. Is it a financially good decision? No. It's better to keep your bike (the reason I am keeping mine). I too have vested in a Givi hard bag, lowered seat,etc... Ihave lusted over a GSX650F since they came out and had a hard time...

I agree with you. Most people in the US ride for fun and not for commuting whereas in the UK most is for commuting. I commute on my bike for 99% of my riding. With two little kids, I have no time to ride for fun on the weekends. issu.com give us a nice preview of MCN, but not all. It's a decent...

Not in Boston, I haven't found this British weekly motorcycle magazine. They have BiKE and TWO, but not MCN

I am jealous too! Kudos to Suzuki USA for offering ABS on the SV, SV650SF, DL650 and Bandit 1250! If they offered it on the GSX650F in the US I would be trading in my bike...

Thanks, Huxy!

Same with FZ6, most people get it with ABS. Bandit also has ABS. I wish we did. I had a couple of moments where I locked my brake and was skidding. Close calls..

Yes, the diversion is the same bike as the FZ6R only with half a fairing

That's a good price. There are plenty of bikes on the used market since it is a popular bike. Don't spend so much on a new one if you can get a used one that is broken in for >$500 less. Plus, you can often test ride a used bike.

ALso, if you want a smooth inline-4, check out Nault's Suzuki in Manchester. They have a 2008 GSX650F (smooth Bandit motor) for $5600 OTD. Black/Silver. Beautiful bike. I would go for it, but my wife says no to changing bikes (I did invest too much in mine....) EDIT: you shoudn't pay more than...

Anybody across the pond has a copy of the June 17th MCN magzine with the above comparison? I am curious to read all of it. Issuu has part of it. Thanks.

wow! I missed this...I first saw the name change and realized you got a new bike! Awesome looking bike! nice exhaust...I am sure it is leaps and bounds above the FZ6. Say, Eric, did you ride Michelle's bike? How does it compare to your previous FZ6?

very cute! I got two fat cats of my own. 8-) Happy birthday!
