    When selling do you allow test ride??

    Soon I will be selling my FZ6 :( I am just wondering do you guys allow buyer a test ride? Maybe stupid question but when selling a car you ride right seat. With bike you can't do that. I wouldn't like to see back of my bike disappearing down a road and no money in hand.

    Downieville Ride

    Finally got to go for a ride with a friend of mine who bought the same bike as mine and her new boyfriend. We rode from Reno. NV to Downieville, CA via I-80 to Highway 89 to Highway 49. This harsh winter did the road no favors. The canyon area still had snow on the shady side of the...

    2005 Fz6 review

    Contrary to what all these other reviews have said, I couldn't figure out what they were really referring to. I haven't found a twitchy throttle , it has plenty of grunt in the low end , very responsive, and plenty of per up top. The only thing I can say negative is the front suspension is way...

    The Love that keeps showing up

    Dammit. As most of you know I bought a 1200gs beemer 3 years ago, and have been trying (half-heartedly) to sell my '07 fizzer for the last two. Last fall my next door neighbor's kid really wanted to buy my bike, but didn't have the money. He and his dad asked if I'd keep it for them until...

    Took a test ride on a BMW F800R yesterday

    Well it wasn't planned I originally went to the bike shop to get a ride on the MT-09, but they had just sold their previous test bike and the new one had to be prepped. Anyway they had a BMW F800R on special offer and they let me take a spin. Well I was not impressed, mainly as the engine was a...

    Hi there, Don't know where exactly where to put this post, general or mechanical help so I'll try here first. I have 2007 FZ6 and for years already I am experiencing subtle vibration in my right hand side grip. It's not like Harley where on traffic light stop whole bike, including tips of...

    Aluminum Bars, Vibrations, what to do

    Hi all. So over last couple of days I put some new bars on. Been wanting to do this forever. I like to shop local, and it just so happened local shop had these KTM bars. From what I can tell, same as the Renthals. Very little sweep, similar rise to stock. I had heard of aluminum bars being...

    New *2017* MT-09 in Sydney!

    Hey guys - Been down in Sydney for the last 5 months - loving it, great place to have a bike for sure. Had an 06 CRF450 Supermoto for a while, but it got stolen last month, which meant it was time to replace with something nicer. I picked up my new ride on Friday with 8km on the clock. If...

    Fz6 not riding straight, forks not in line with radiator.

    I'm in a love hate relationship with my fz6 right now, everything about the bike is great - it's looks, it's practicality the amount of power and fun you can have on it. But most of the time I get on the bike i'm just not enjoying myself because I the darn thing feels like it doesn't want to...

    VT Fall Colors

    Few minutes from my lunch ride. Pretty much all of the roads around me are like this. One of the reasons I moved here :) Oh and the ride up the driveway at the end.. FJR with sport touring tires is definitely not the best tool for the job :| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRF0O68UCEE

    Seat Options?

    So I'm used to riding sportbikes (GSXR & KTM RC8) & I bought the FZ6 as a 2 up, more comfy option. Well what I'm finding is that my ass hurts about 25 minutes into the ride! I'm much more comfortable on my sportys. It's got the stock seat on it. I'm wondering what anyone can tell me about a...

    what other bikes do you ride?

    I was thinking of an un-offical poll type of thing. My FZ6 more than satisfies my need for the twisties and getting my knee down, but thats just not enough. I have a lady in my life who wants to get on the back, however I have to say the FZ6 is not a particularly comfortable pew for a long...

    Smokey Mountain Road Trip

    I recently took a vacation down to the Smokey Mountains and figured I would get some riding in. Rather than tow my beloved 2009 FZ6 I set about figuring out what I could rent. After a very brief period of research I settled on this 2012 Triumph Street Triple R from Sportbikes4Hire. I picked...
