Here it is....
Big, solid bike, same BHP as the Fz, more torque, much heavier but kinda fun all the same. A few things to sort (fork seals, oil change etc) but I can do them as I go. At least the sun is shining over here so I can get out & ride! :thumbup:
It's one of these, haven't picked it up yet so here's a pic from the web...
4cyl 900cc Shaft drive. The one I'm buying has a set of Yamaha panniers, I believe they're Krauser K2.
Mine is also black & has 25,500 miles on it, so it's quite low for an old 'un.
Thanks for the kind comments. :thumbup:
Well, after a lot of soul searching I've decided to sell the trusty Fz. :(
I've decided I need a fairing, some hard luggage and a slightly more 'relaxed' ride to get me some longer distances so I've bought a 900 Diversion (quit sniggering at the back!).
I'd just like to say a big thank you to...
How old is the bike?
I've got an '04 Fz6N and replaced the fork oil last year, it made a lot of difference.
The stuff I took out was gray & gungy, the new stuff was clear & runny. Quite an eye opener! :eek:
After a lot of pondering I have finally decided to put the Fz up for sale.
2004 04 reg Fz6-N in Silver.
19500 miles
12 months Tax
6 months MOT (27th Sept 2011)
All old MOT's & a few receipts from previous owner.
Standard bike apart from:
Genuine Yamaha Centre Stand
Fazmax Flyscreen

Went to Lidl today, would have bought a Matt Black helmet but even the XL wouldn't fit my massive head. :(
They did look pretty good quality for the money though.
The Jackets looked pretty good for £40, and even had a half decent back protector instead of the usual bit of sponge. I couldn't justify buying yet another jacket, but I did get a thermal top & a 'windstopper' top. I wonder if it'll stop me farting??
I agree, for £40 the Aldi jackets looked a bargain, the only reason I didn't get one was I couldn't figure out how I was going to explain to the wife why I needed ANOTHER jacket!! :(
I did buy one of their thermal tops though, as well as a 'Windstopper' shirt which looked worth the risk for a...

Oh yes, and this thing which I was re-building. Once I got the front end sorted and wheeled it out of the...
Uvex Performance Textile touring style jacket, black & silver, size extra large.
Laid flat with the zip fastened it measures about 25" across under the armpits and the waist tapers down a little to around 23".
At a guess I'd say it was 46" to 48" Chest. I am 42" chest and I find it too big...
Yep, good ol' 550 four Honda! Seem to remember it was a 550 f but maybe I'm wrong, it was a while back! If you could get over a ton, downhill with the wind behind you, you were happy!
Bit different to the Fz! (not that I'd ever exceed the speed limit :spank: )
