All,
I am preparing to move back to the US this summer. Thinking of selling my US spec 2008 FZ6 here in the Netherlands before I move back to the US. Bike is clean, only 12,000 miles on it. I have not gotten to ride it as much as I wanted while living here in Netherlands...
So at the Motorbeurs in Utrecht yesterday, I sat on the KTM 690 Duke. Felt very comfortable, nice upright seating position, I know it would be comparing apples and oranges to compare a 690 single to the inline 4 of the FZ6, just curious if anyone has ridden one and your impressions? Seems...
All I can say is SWEEEEET!!!
Install was simple if you follow KN's instructions on page 15 of this thread. I left it in the fourth (farthest out) hole, like KN sent it. Much smoother and lighter pull, much better friction zone. Only had time for a quick mile or two ride, but definitely...
I received my parts a couple days ago. Hope to get the time to install this weekend. Superb craftsmanship BTW. Cant wait to try it out after all the rave reviews. Thanks Killer:rockon::rockon:
I would definitely need clean underwear. Just goes to show you though that ATGATT works. He walked away from a hard crash at well over 100 mph. Amazing how those guys can get up and walk away from crashes like that.

I am an American now living in Wassenaar. Plan to be here 3-6 years for work. I have a 2008 FZ6 which I bought in late 2010. I speak some Dutch but I find it hard to practice here. As soon as I start speaking Dutch, you can tell I am American so folks tend to revert to English. All Dutch...
I have the Shad 45 liter top case with Shad mount. Bought them from my LBS about two years ago. The case is large enough to lay a full two piece suit, shirt and tie in it and not wrinkle them. Makes it nice for the commute. Quality seems fine so far.
Started in the dirt since age 6. First street was a 1986 Suzuki Savage 650 (now called the S40 I think). Then a 1994 Suzuki Bandit 400. Several years off street bilkes still riding dirt, then in 2010 bought a 2008 FZ6.
Mirror extenders made by jblk9695 on this forum have been one of the best, least expensive mods I have done. Much better rear view, now I am not seeing my shoulders in the mirrors.
