    Nice work. That bike is a better ride than the Blast.

    Ohlins Front springs, not much of an improval

    Wow.. yeah, then the 85kg/mm springs should be plenty stiff for you. Maybe you're just too damn fast for Ohlins. :eek:

    Cover or not cover front brake???

    If I'm in traffic I do my best to avoid the necessity of the brakes, but sometimes I'll cover. I rarely do while riding in the rural areas. I just keep my eyes peeled and make sure I have an "exit strategy".

    Ohlins Front springs, not much of an improval

    Depends. How much do you weigh? 85kg/mm front springs aren't very stout to begin with. I'm ~220lbs and will be swapping the stockers for 1.0kg/mm RaceTech springs this, er... Spring. What do you mean by, "wobbling"?

    What do FZ6 riders graduate to in bikes?

    2-valve Ducati Multistrada w/ Ohlins. If I can't have that, then I'll keep the FZ6 and pick up an old Ducati Supersport.

    Writing my Payoff!

    Congrats on paying the loan off early. I enjoyed writing the check for my wife's Monster 2 years ahead of schedule, but not nearly as much as writing the $1700 check for my FZ6 and buying it outright.

    Yamaha FZ-6 handling... Is CBR600 better?

    Different strokes, but I'd spend some coin on a better bar, suspension tuning, better tires and then a few track days before I dismissed the potential of the FZ6. It's easily one of the "fastest" six-hundreds I've ridden. That is because I favor a more upright riding position. I've witnessed...

    New to FZ6 from Cruisers

    I had reservations about the FZ, myself. I didn't come from a cruiser, though. I came off a Ducati 748. I must say that, almost 1 year later, I don't regret this little bike one bit. Comfort is almost unparalleled and tree-blurring power is fitted inside that little six-hundy, if you care to...

    naked w/clip ons??

    I have pics of my wife's Monster with clip ons and no fairing, but that's prolly not what you're looking for.

    Tire suggestions?

    Because I love tire threads.... LoL.. cheap? ContiMotion. I have a set on my FZ and am quite impressed with their stability and traction. Wet grip is phenomenal. Not as cheap, but just as good as the PR2s? Continental Sport Attack. Good mileage, excellent grip, wet or dry, good profile...

    New exhaust on Buell

    He and the bike are both fine. He still rides it. Just needed a fork, oil cooler and the fairing stay tabs re-welded to the frame. Actually, he's crashed it a couple times.. it just keeps on keepin' on.

    New exhaust on Buell

    I was laid off from my job for about a year. I sold it to a friend, with the hopes of repurchasing it later... but, he decided he wanted to see how far it would slide down the road in West Virginia.

    Getting my 17 year old son a bike

    My first bike was a 1988 Kawasaki EX500.. and at 25 years old, it scared the piss out of me. I had almost zero bike experience growing up. We had friends that owned a mini bike.. that was about it. You have to remember that speed is relative. A Ninja250R will be fast for a brand new rider. It...
