Hello all, just picked up my first FZ6

[squirrel_master]

Picked up a 2008 FZ6. It's been customized for a street fighter look. Cowling has been removed and replaced with a single headlight. It also has drag bars. Has 4600 miles on it. garaged kept and was owned by a MSF instructor. So I doubt it was abused. It also came with old cowling, headlights(looks to be in brand new condition), original bars and everything to bring it back to stock.
Picked it up for $2000. Is that a deal or what??

Not the greatest pic, but it was dark by the time I got her home.

Sounds like a great deal to me if it hasn't been dropped.

Wow, now that's a sweet deal.

Nope, never been dropped and it looks like it's been garaged kept, no rust, etc... The guy did all maintenance himself. Two oil changes a year. He had 2 other bikes for sale. He was basically clearing out his garage so he could concentrate on his kids motocross bikes.

All paper work came with bike, including the original invoice.. when he bought it from the dealer in November 2008.

wow ... what did he just want to get rid of it.. that sounds like a steal of a price.. good find.. welcome to the forum.. :welcome: any plans on changing it back to stock??? oh and if you wouldnt mind posting up a front view.. i like the looks of the single headlight, but havent seen to many round ones from the front.. and damn.. i just took a quick look.. you got a puig screen by the looks of the sencond pic.. for that price it was a steal...

That's a super deal. Welcome to the club. :rockon:

 

[mponder]

That was a great buy, did you have to use a gun to get that price?

 

[dturpen]

Very good deal! If you end up keeping the single headlight look, I think that the bike's looks would benefit greatly from the headlight being moved down on the forks a few inches.

:welcome: to the forum mate :thumbup: Nice ride & a good deal by the sounds of it

 

[squirrel_master]

Thanks for the welcome guys.. He basically said he was wanting to quickly get rid of his bikes he doesn't ride. He still has a suzuki savage 650 w/490 miles for $1,000. I was seriously thinking about picking it up just for the hell of it.

I'm going out of town for the weekend, but I'll try to get you a front pic tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Yep it is a puig screen and as far as converting back to stock, I think I will eventually, but only if I use this bike for a long trip I'm wanting to take this spring/summer. I really dig the street fighter look.

 

[LERecords]

grab the savage and just resell.. you could probably get double...

 

[Erci]

Ridiculously great deal! Congrats! Post some better pics!

 

[vrsbrazil]

Great Deal and it looks like it is a great bike, congrats and welcome!

 

[jtarkany]

:welcome: $2,000

$2000? that's just nuts. Always feels good to ride a bike that cost so little and gives so much.

Congrats and nice way to save money. Don't worry, keep reading here and all the money you saved will end up being used for mods .
