    Which one would you buy?

    I had a similar choice about 2 months ago. I had the option between a 2006 and 08 fz6. Price was about 2K different. 06 had 800 miles and the 08 had 2500. I went with the 06. I have not regretted it at all. I use mine for commuting back and forth around town. There is plenty of power if...

    How long do tires last?

    How long do tires last?

    2006 vs 2008 FZ6

    thanks guys for all the info. I just got back from riding the 06. It looked and rode like it was brand new. The guy also said he would throw in a jacket (brand new) and two helmets for the 3800. I found the clutch/friction zone a little touchy. Just waiting for the guy with the 08 to get...

    2006 vs 2008 FZ6

    Thanks champ. I figured that might be a positive. I was also concerned about the 06 not being used enough in two-three years and sitting idle. Will that hurt it at all?

    2006 vs 2008 FZ6

    Thanks Rob. Right now I am looking for a commuter to and from work on back roads, no highway riding. Does the hp make that much difference in that type of riding?
