    FZ6 to R1 comparison

    Hello FZ6 riders, I traded in my 2007 FZ6 for a 2008 R1 over the winter and have a few words on comparison for those who may be thinking of replacement bikes. Initial thoughts: Appearance. The R1 is dead sexy. I went for the Raven (black) model, added a few goodies right away like...

    What will be read at your eulogy?

    Stole the idea off the autobiography thread. Not to get too serious or deep, but what would be said (read) at your eulogy? I can't claim to be super intellectual or get too profound here, but maybe some food for thought..... Loving father/mother? Workaholic? Loved life? Devoted spouse? Too...

    Replace the FZ?

    I have been back and forth all winter about getting a new bike in the spring. I was leaning heavily towards a Triumph Daytona 675 or a new, non-current Yamaha R1 at my local dealer. A decision has been reached: I am keeping my FZ!! It would cost about $5500 to move into a new bike, assuming I...

    FZ1 Handle bar install

    Hello, I installed a set of FZ1 handlebars last night on my 2007 FZ6. What a difference! Makes me wonder why Yamaha doesn't use the FZ1 bars as OEM. Anyone who is looking for a slightly more aggressive riding position, without losing any comfort at all, I cannot recommend this mod enough. The...

    A friend and I were on a ride when we stumbled across a guy in his new Gallardo. It only took a few seconds until the driver knew we were going to race. My friend was on his ZX-12 and me on my FZ6. It took a few minutes of highway travel until the roads opened up and we were free to go for it...
