Hey Eveyone! New member here from central IL. Just picked up a lovely 2007 FZ6 with 4,800 miles on it. Coming from a lot of bikes in my 10 year riding history from old 1970's restorations that I completed, to this bike being my newest one that I have owned.
Prior bikes in the best order I can remember:
1983 Yamaha 50 Scooter
1989 Honda Elite 250 Scooter
1987 Yamaha Radian (Radian #1)
1998 Suzuki Marauder
1972 Yamaha R5 250
1974 Yamaha RD400 Daytona
1975 Yamaha RD350 (parts bike for the 400)
1983 Suzuki GS650G
1989 Yamaha Radian (Radian #2)
1996 Honda CBR1000F
2002 Yamaha R6
2003 Kawasaki ZX7-R
1998 Suzuki Bandit 1200S (converted to naked)
1965 Honda Dream 305
1977 Kawasaki KZ400D
1998 Honda VFR800Fi
2007 Yamaha FZ6
So as you can see, I have had everything from old to new, sport, standard, cruiser, etc. And my dad rides too, so I get to ride a few of his toys as well.
ANYWAYS.....
I have always wanted to buy a Fazer....an old FZX700 Fazer from the late 80's. SO when I saw these bikes were the Fazer, but new and modern I jumped on the chance to own it!
The bike is a real gem to ride. Very comfortable for my 6'2'' 210 lbs frame. I don't get to ride a lot, so fuel injection was important to me, 180 rear tire for sport touring tires, good looks, comfort, fuel economy, and aftermarket support. The bike fits all of the needs very well, so far I have no regrets!
Upgrade plans include:
Dual Headlight Conversion
New tires on order tonight (Pilot Road 2's)
Suspension upgrade for adjustability (R6 forks? and ??? rear shock)
Smoke Windscreen (for looks)
Aftermarket exhaust (its too dang quiet!)
Been doing a lot of reading on here, thanks for the wealth of great knowledge! I have been and am still an active member over at maximum-suzuki.com forum and plan to make a good home of this forum as well!
Cheers!
PS: Here is a pic of the new ride!
