    Metalic Black paint for add on's

    Great Work!!! I also am not a fan of the tiny little bits of silver on my bike. I can't understand what Yamaha was thinking they do frame, wheels engine black then there is this little silver rear-set area ...looks out of place. I have a friend who has applied various coatings to firearms...

    Someone recommend a sport riding glove?

    I have the Teknic Violators they are a bit more then the $100 amount about 30-40 dollars more. What I like about them is the KNox palm pucks. They are hard solid plastic pucks double stitched sewn in the palm section. Ever since being little kids our first reaction is to put hands out to...

    FZ6 Comparison Questions

    I haven't ridden the Suzuki GSX650F or the F6R but I owned a Ninja 650 which is a twin so a bit different type of power. FZ6R and Ninja 650r while different engines do compete against each other in the market. The difference in power from the FZ6R or Ninja 650 to the FZ6 is about a 20-25 hp...

    87 FZ600 back on the road

    Cool Bike: I love to see some of the classics back on the road. I just saw a guy who re-did a 500 Honda interceptor. H painted it back to all stock...totally cool. The FZ600 was my younger brothers first bike, polished out the frame and wheels was a great machine. Good job on...

    No low end torque

    Hi all:thumbup: I am fairly new to this form. I've only put about 300 miles on my new (07) FZ6. I would like for the more experienced riders out there to give me their opinion of the "lack of mid range torque" I keep reading about on line about the FZ6, especially when compared to "twins"...

    Ever wondered, "Which Exhaust Should I buy?"

    I voted for the Akrapovic even though I have Leo Vince. I like the Leo's and with the power commander map its crisp and loud. I just like the Akropovic titanium can I think it has a real classic look. I think that any will be an improvement over stock but I think the laser's are plan ugly.

    What would you change about your FZ6?

    I would like a full naked version offered in America. Stainless steel brake lines and eliminating the minimal amount of silver on the bike. I have a 07, and Yamaha did a blacked out engine, wheels, ect but then the bars triple trees and clamps are silver just doesn't seem to flow...

    To wave or not to wave, that is the unorigionally named poll...

    I wave to anything with two wheels and a motor. Everyone has their choice in style all to achieve the same goal the "joy of riding". I must admit I do find it annoying that all riders wave back accept Harley riders.

Baby monster 695..then traded it for brand new ninja 650...ill admit I still love sound of the twins..but Fz6 with Leo's is growing on me...each bike had things I liked..but I love the Fazer frame..undertail exhaust...to me its the perfect...

    beginners bike?

    I think an honest approach to the definition of "beginner" is required. I started riding two half years ago and started on a Ducati baby monster 695. Then a Ninja 650...now to the Fz. I think all are fine for a mature (I'm 42) person with basic skills on two wheels dirt bikes and lots of time...

    My new 2007 FZ6

    Guimauve Congrats on the new bike. I am also new to this forum as well as to the Fz6. I picked up a 2007 Red FZ with only 4900 miles on it a few weeks back. We have been having way over the normal amount of rain fall so for almost a month I have been stairing at her in the garage...

    Newbee

    Congrats on passing the test and the new bike. I just picked up a 2007 Fz6 about 3 weeks ago with less than 4500 miles on it. With all the nasty weather all I have been able to do is polish her up. Waiting for the sun. Congrats and ride safe

    Potential Riders MUST READ!!!!!

    I appreciate the article and I have to agree with the fact that a 600cc bike is too much bike for a beginner. I have been riding for 2.5 years and in that time logged about 10,000 miles. I started out on a beautiful Ducati 695 monster. Which is choked by its stock gearing dropping teeth in...
