Bump. Lowered price. PM me if interested and I'll give you my phone #. Ben

Bump. This bike is now out of storage and in my garage here in South Burlington, VT. Ready to show if anyone is in the area. Ben

I just called them and described what I was looking for. Took about a month to arrive as I recall. Ben

*Sold* Corbin Gunfighter Seat for Tall Riders. I have a more or less new Corbin Gunfighter seat for an FZ6. I bought this new last summer and rode with it for maybe 1000 miles or so. I’m selling it because I never really took to the FZ6 and am returning to the Harleys of my youth. (Which...

FS: 2009 FZ6, Blue, 2789 miles. Northeast US. $4950 2009 blue Yamaha FZ6 for sale with only 2789 miles. Original owner. No scratches or other blemishes. It's always been garaged and was stored inside for the winter. The only modifications are a set of frame sliders (see picture) and a...

Hi all, Looking for some quick advice. I bought a new 09 a few months ago. I ended up going with a custom Corbin seat and am now looking to sell the original. I had originally thought it was the comfort seat as I had heard the 09's came with them. But from the pictures I'm seeing I'm now...

Should point out that I'm all legs and arms too. 33" inseam, so I'll be able to get my feet down no problem if the seat's up a little higher. Ben

I picked up a 2009 FZ6 this winter and love it so far. One problem though. I'm a tall guy, six feet with long arms and legs and I feel a little cramped. I'm looking for a seat that will move me up an inch or two and maybe back about an inch. Anyone have suggestions? I'm looking to do some...

I picked up a heated jacket liner and heated gloves from First Gear. Can't say enough good things about them. For me, living up here in the frozen north, the cost is worth it. Gives me probably a total of three months a year riding time that I wouldn't get otherwise. Ben

Cool, thanks. 'cause I totally want to get one, just for the look. Now to figure out which one . . . I'd love to have one that hides the license plate up inside, though I suppose I should have a light on it. And I'm a sucker for little turn signals. Any suggestions on who makes a good...

Hi all, Just picked my new '09 last week. Now it's sitting in the garage and since I can't ride yet I may as well fiddle with it. I want to get a fender eliminator for the look. That big black plastic thing that hangs like a nose from the tailpipes just looks ugly. But I'm wondering if...

And don't you guys dare get me started on making all sorts of mods to this thing. My friends already have a saying; "a Ben and his money are easily parted . . ."

Well, having just gone and fozen my butt on the ski slopes at about 8 fahrenheit this evening I have to admit that spring riding feels like years away. But I suppose it will be here soon, even up here in the frozen north! But at least now I'll be able to go out to the garage, pull the...

Thanks for all the input. After much hemming and hawing I decided that for the price these things are going for I was going to play it safe and buy new. I poked around online and found a handful of new ones that I could get for about $5800, including the cost of shipping to VT. They were...

Thanks for the KBB link. I hadn't gotten around to checking on that. I agree that $4k seems a bit high.

Thanks. I should probably remind myself that over the years I've ridden any number of bikes from the 70s, 80s and 90s and never felt they were underpowered or lacking performancewise. (Well, ok, the CB175 I learned to ride on was underpowered.) I had an old BMW K100RS from '87 that was a...

Sorry, red. But I like red, so that's good in my book. Now the new one? That's blue. Still think I should get the '06???

Thanks Youngy, That's helpful. What's the consensus on those changes? Are things like the seat, brakes, fueling, etc. on the '07 and newer noticeably better, or just different? I've been bit before by trying to buy cheap up front, only to then spend so much money trying to make the...

Hi all, Sorry if this topic has been covered. I did some searches, but didn't find much except for the throttle recal from the earlier bikes. I'm looking for advice and some info. Here's my situation. I'm looking to pick up an FZ6 for the spring which I'll use for general commuting...
