    '07 FZ-6 vs '06 Kawi Z750s

    As a brief introduction ... I put 37,000+ trouble free miles on an '06 Z750s before totalling the bike out in a "mistake". I recently purchased, as her replacement, a 2007 FZ-6. After having had several requests to compare the two I have decided to do it here in it's own post. Just keep in...

    Got it!! Brand new 2007 FZ-6!!

    I'll be glad to give my FZ-6 vs. Z750s comparison... but not just yet! The only riding I've done with the FZ has been in this "interesting" weather and I don't feel I could do the FZ justice until I spend some time with her on decent roads. I also look forward to seeing how they compare :).

    Got it!! Brand new 2007 FZ-6!!

    It was cold, wet, and raining... and a beautiful day to ride! Today was the day scheduled to pick up my newly assembled FZ-6 from my (semi) local dealer. I was disapointed, but not deterred, by the wet-overcast skies and steady light rain. I proceeded in a direct route to my dealer and, after a...

    Seat heat?

    Ok folks, planning to get the FZ6 as soon as the insurance check comes in. Just one more question. I've seen the occasional post about the underseat exhaust making the seat uncomfortably warm. Is this a common issue with the FZ? I occasionally carry a passenger who has expressed concern about...

    Howdy folks!

    Well, I got the official word yesterday from the insurance company. My dear Z is dead.. they totalled it. Now just waiting on the insurance check to put down (i'm just about certain) on a black '08 FZ-6. Once done I plan to have a ride in Z's honor. Thank you all for your support in this trying...

    Howdy folks!

    Howdy! Hope yall don't mind a Kawasaki guy in here! I've been riding for about 2.5 years with 2 of those years on an '06 Kawasaki Z750s. I put over 37,000 miles on that bike before dropping it on a left hand turn last week and cracking the engine block (my first motorcycle accident and...
