Just thought i'd share with you all my first bike i had before the FZ6. It was a Blue Yamaha 125cc TDR. I learned how to ride with it when i lived in Europe. It was great for the city as it was super light. Very nimble. In the curves i could lean it to the foot pegs (scuffed my shoes a few times in the roundabouts...lol good times) It was 2 stroke, so it had a nice kick to it, i could hop curbs and go offroad if i pleased (although with the latter street tires i put on there not recommended...lol). Was fast enough for a 125cc, i think i topped it out at 140km/h once. Heres a lil video and pics, also i must have been like 16-17yrs old back then. :Flash:

That bike is awesome. You mess around with stunts on the FZ6 too?
Haha yeah that bike was dope. Well for my FZ6 only thing i can do is like a 100-200ft wheelie in first gear, and i also have tried riding while sitting on the gas tank (gives me an awesome view! lol) Apart from that no, i just use it as my commuter, take it to the twisties on the weekend and enjoy it. I dont think the FZ6 is best suited for stunting (although i know you can stunt any bike, its up to the rider) nor do i have the wish to enter that arena ;)

Definitely not as easy to toss around as a 250 pound (guess) 125.

Check this guy out though
